Being human in Corona Situation

Corona is getting Horrible but this situation around the world made us human – Or I would say we are becoming more Human.

As we all aware the whole world is suffering from this corona hurricane, which is spreading and going viral exponentially. It's not only affecting us physically but also it's making us weak mentally.

Whenever humankind forgets that his race to become superior is out of control, Mother Nature slaps him with her gesture like this. It is intuition as well so that we can find our self as a human, not like machines or zombies. This also tells us that no one gave us the right to control the flow of nature.

The government is talking all require actions but as a responsible citizen, we also took part in this war against Corona. I have heard the news that in India after the kind appeal of Prime Minister Modi, people did not take seriously and start behaving like a child. Even, children will not behave like that. Complete ignorant and less responsible act. However, I really appreciate those who followed the rule to stay home. They helped themselves and other people at the same time by accepting this as their moral duty.

We all are requested to stay home. I realized that this comes as a gift. This is how:-

1.      Safety of ourselves

We are safe because when we are at home, the chances of being infected with the virus become so less. This is a really horrible thing that we can't even judge who has this virus and who doesn't have. The safety precaution only can save us, that's why staying home became a gift to us. Not only the government most of the employers also encouraging their staff to work from home.

2.      Time for family and ourselves

This is one more gift we got. Staying home on Sunday is something different. But imagine the happiness to stay at home with family on weekdays. We can eat together, we can spend time together, and we can have home food, discuss and plan so many things, play with our children, listening and sharing life experience with parents and siblings and can pray for the society for good and so many things. And most important we have time for ourselves. We can plan, write our goals, and learn new things online, acquiring new skills, get entertainment, enjoying hobbies or things we love to do, forming healthy habits and so much we can do. Right.

3.      importance of Clean Environment

We might not understand the importance of cleanliness while Prime Minister Modi launched his campaign "SWACCH BHARAT ABHIYAN" but this situation nowadays saying us that we should now follow Swacch Bharat campaign. In childhood we have learned from our parents and grandparents to wash our hands several times a day, wear clean clothes, take bath, don't touch garbage and many other small habits which they wanted to form in us, but as we grow we tend to forget all those healthy habits. Now every good habit is attracting us that please accept me or you are gone. It's in a form of threat but it is so. Either you like it or not, you have to accept cleanliness habits now.

4.      Gratitude

Gratitude is a great practice to develop in life. If we are grateful for what we have, we see everything is helping us because we will accept things as they are. Most of the people are suffering after getting infected. They were innocent, they didn't even know how it happened. It may be because of other people who became a carrier of this virus. He might be safe because of the strong immune system but what about others. They suffered a lot after getting infected. Those who are at home are feeling the great sense of Gratitude, which they might not felt earlier. This situation taught us a very important lesson in life that be grateful for what you have.

5.      Humanity

Every corner of the world is eagerly sharing his view that how he is feeling bad and sad about those who are suffering. No matter what race people have, what country we live, what color of skin we have, we started feeling more human again. And our sensitive emotions for other humans are activated. Even I was about to cry by hearing news of people dying in Italy and Spain. I have no direct connection with them. No friends, not family or business, nothing. But because of this horrible situation, I became so emotional for those and I felt like they are our family members.

Whenever I see the statistics every morning the word comes out from my mouth is, "Oh god, please save my people."

6.      Realization of Responsibility as a Human towards Nature and other living things

Every time when we use nature brutally, it slaps us with own kind of treatment. I don't know what the cause of this Corona is, I don't even know where actually its origin and I don't even know how to control this. But this is damn sure, it's all happened because we couldn't limit the things and our ambitions to become superior and to use nature like hell, became so strong. This situation, when everyone is at home at least gives us time to think about the importance of Nature. More of this self-realization, that what will be our next step towards the safety of nature and other living things. Because not only humans but everything on this planet with trees, water, natural resources, animals, birds completed us as a world. So that's would be us, who will decide where the world stands now onwards.

I have just shared my thoughts. I am not against the emotions of people who are suffering. I am praying every day that God gives us relief and solutions to this situation. We all can take over and control corona if we stay at home, pray for others, follow the government instructions, understand our responsibilities, form healthy and clean habits. Because so far corona has no cure. Only more and more relevant information is safe from Corona.

And Believe me, WE ARE HUMANS, every alphabet of this word tells us that we are RESPONSIBLE, so we behave like RESPONSIBLE.
