Life Revisited v2.0

A few weeks ago when I had just started off posting articles on LinkedIn, little had I known that we would go into a war zone mode in the fight against an unseen force that we are dealing with. I have been forced to think, what have pushed the planet we live on into!!! With an increasing number of countries joining the bandwagon and have lockdowns, good old virtues of spending time with family are coming back. Families are back at the dinner table together and fighting out the crisis together. There may be a shortage of a lot of things, however no shortage for sure for some fun time and togetherness which has been missing for a really long time for many. I have been reading quite a few articles and it really has been thought provoking to say the least. So I thought of writing something close to my heart!

Now, let us dive a little deeper and we will talk about human behavior and its change through the times. Did we catch ourselves off guard? Did we consider ourselves to be god? In Hindu mythology, there are four Yugas:

• Satya Yuga
• Treta Yuga
• Dwapara Yuga
• Kali Yuga.

Kali Yuga is the ongoing one and according to the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna says "Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, at that time I manifest myself on earth". All other religious tenets also have the same fundamental belief that there is a clear rise in greed and of a time when wants are clearly superceding the needs.

Today, all that was dreamed is becoming a reality, All that is seen is conquered, all that is not seen is yearned for and yet it a question of so near yet so far. We have scoured the deepest ends of the Oceans, reached out for all that we can fathom to the depths and drill into the surface of the planet. We have tried to reach for the meteors to try and get more and more and more... This really has no end and while we call it scientific quests and exploration we really have to say this is greed!

Overall, in the middle of all of this chaos, there are also a group of people who tirelessly work to get the planet into a better shape. The real warriors who are selflessly going about their task of protecting the planet. There are people who are really minimalist and are helping conservation efforts all around. All I can say that human spirit will defy all odds and come out victorious, Hollywood will turn this into another story of a Phoenix like situation. However, remember that we are co-owners of the planet and all things living and non living lay stake to this planet. Let us ensure that since we have the, so-called, higher powers of imagination and wherewithal we are able to help every being exist and co-exist with less greed and love beyond all creed.
