When the cosmos speaks, we all fail …

The streets are empty, the public places are shut, most offices have been locked down, and some countries are closed too. Most of us are confined to our four walls, some getting more creative and more aware of themselves, and most who are frustrated and bored and are just waiting for this pandemic to end.

We, humans, are the smartest of all species that exist on this planet. It’s us who rule the earth. By having invented most things that exist around us, to using nature at our convenience it’s us who decide the way everything functions. In the short lives that we live, we often forget that we aren’t as important as we think. We also forget that disturbing the harmony that exists around us for our convenience may cause greater harm in times that may follow after we cease to exist. But then nature has its own ways of reminding us the same, isn’t it? The existing coronavirus pandemic appears to one of them. One of the smallest existing entity on earth- a virus has reminded the ruler of earth- the humans, that when the cosmos speaks, we all fail!

There is still no concrete evidence about how this all started, but there is all the evidence to prove that the disease is sparing none. Be it the so-called elite class, or the common human who struggles to survive, no one is protected from the virus. Be it the developing nations or the countries who call themselves as a superpower the virus has taken all of them and us under the same umbrella. All of a sudden we have stopped fighting over other trivia’s like religion, caste, and other discriminations because it is now that we are seeing what a real problem is. From trying to list out different solutions to chanting their own mantras, every religion, has united today in praying for good health.

Of the multiple posts that we see on the internet every day about the pandemic, the most positive ones look like the ones which says that the earth is healing. I also read a post that said that the fishes and swans have returned in the Venice waters. Logically since most of us are home, even the pollution must have cut down. It’s wonderful to think about this positive side of the pandemic, but then don’t you think that with this we all should realize how important it is for us to start taking the environment more seriously. Many drives keep taking place around us, the anti-plastic ones, the ones which say to plant more trees, the ones to save water and the ones to keep our surroundings clean, in order to cut the multiple other diseases that can exist. But with the time that we are seeing today, each one of us should realize that all of this should be a part of our routine. We aren’t here forever, nature is. We will cease to exist sooner or later, the generation that we leave behind will.

This is also time to be more responsible for ourselves and for the people around us. So let us try finding better ways to spend a positive time at our homes instead of trying to run around in search of entertainment. With a hope that the pandemic will end soon, I wish you all and your loved ones the best of health till it exists.
