And then suddenly the world stopped. Stopped like there is nowhere to go. Stopped like its the end we were running and chasing for. And now when we have come to an end there is nothing. All the materialistic things seem irrelevant. Happiness does not lie on money and materials rather being with the family safe and healthy. Anything can come in between but family is the only community where we are safe and home is the only place where we are happy. Our race for the luxury, money, power, career all seems so insignificant and trivial. Life without health is nothing.
Is it the end of mankind from the earth? Or is it just another break from the chaos and race? As said, it must be the beginning of a new era. And this time may be the coridor/transit between two eras. The answer is still unknown and we can only focus on staying indoor and keeping us safe. Nobody knows how long will it go. Nobody knows when it will come to your door.
Frightened and terrified because it does not have huge legs or devils body . Rather a microorganism which cannot be seen and we don’t even realize it’s there until it attacks our lungs and makes us weak and vulnerable. It’s a pandemic. And we cannot predict how long it will it exist. The only one thing we can do is stay home and wait for the scientist to prepare the vaccines. Or wait for the miracle/ God to stop the spread of the virus.
The more the casualties increase, the more fear increases. Will this fear makes us anxious or will it make us fearless? The question is still on. But we have to carry on. We have to struggle till the last breath of hope exists. Struggle for existence is real.
In the meantime we must do something to occupy ourselves. Let not fear alone rule our mind. We must be creative and do something while locked indoor. It’s the time for self-reflection/ introspection. We are not really locked, but rather this is the key to open up ourselves as much as possible. We must invest as much time for our hobby and also with our family. It’s time to complete that incomplete novel, start painting and art, compose music, dance and be happy.
Let’s play games, enjoy cooking and support each other. Some people will say, “I don’t have any such hobby or I am not that creative”. But each of us can bring that inner child within us and start what we used to enjoy as a child. Let not this lockdown make us couch-potato roaming around social media and sharing those fake news and post to increase the fear. Rather we can use social media for benefit of all, sharing happiness stories, being optimistic and sharing useful stuffs. Enjoying Music and art. Appreciating each other, saying thank you and sorry, letting go of our ego and attitude. It is time only for physical distancing, but we must remain close and intact with our friends and family. Write those incomplete love letters, express those feelings, who knows what the future will bring tomorrow. Let’s make every moment we spend with family memorable and precious. This time will never come. If we survive this lockdown we can do anything we want. We can achieve anything in life. After all the main thing that matters is the happiness of the self and family.
While saying this, there is a huge segment of society that do not have a proper home to live in, and food to eat and this crisis has made it more difficult to survive. Let us look into our neighborhood, if there is any family or people who are having difficulty then it’s our duty to support them. Or else, there are government relief funds waiting for such people. Government is our guardian. It is the responsibility of the government to provide basic necessities to the needful people. The people in the leadership position must not look into personal benefits but must work for fulfilling basic necessities of people. And also the general public must support the government in this time of crisis. If everyone is together, we can heal this wound easily. Otherwise our society and economy will be wounded forever like the cancer.
Patience is the main mantra for survival. Let’s not lose hope. Time will heal everything and the new beginning we will start our life again very soon.
