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.
