AND NOT BY CHANCE ( MORAL V/S MORALE )
“The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.”
― Kakuzo Okakura
How many of us can resonate with these statements? Let’s look at how much we have adapted to this new normal.
“Am I audible?”
“Those who are not speaking please mute yourselves!”
“If you are speaking please unmute.”
“Can you please repeat your question?”
“I cannot switch on my video, since I’m facing network issues.”
“Is my screen visible?”
“Moving to another call.”
“Put down your doubts in the chat box”, I’m sorry which lecture was this?
“Shhhh, i need to unmute” (To family)
“I’ve given wrong a question, how come everyone got the right answer?”
“I googled the questions, just like you all did.”
“Unmutes — *plays static noises*”
“Maam my mic is not working.”
“Upload your assignments within 15 minutes”
“Wear your uniforms, we need to click pictures”
“Fill my attendance, I’m going to sleep” (To family)
“Unmute yourselves children, please speak” (Look how the table turns!)
“No exams, internal marks will be counted.” (:D)
It’s hilarious how everything is topsy-turvy now. John Wooden (A famous basketball player and coach) once quipped: “You are who you are when no one’s looking.” It still holds true in this weird situation!
This week we also witnessed the sudden demise of one of my favourite football players Diego Maradona. Oh how we will always remember his left foot goals! Amongst his various other glorious goals, his infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal may not be the page he would like to keep in his life’s book. May his soul rest in peace.
This too shall pass. Would we want to keep those statements in our lives’ book?
So after all the Evolutionary theory turned out to be true, every species does adapt to its new niche. And the key is to keep the morale up without compromising morals.
Signing off.
