Social Distancing Vs Physical distancing
Seema Singh
Advisor/Consultant for Business Strategy, Corporate Communication, and Marketing Excellence
Everyone knows so much about 'Social distancing'! Even the smallest of the child knows and why it is (expected to be) followed so critically worldwide. While entire world is following 'Social Distancing' to save individual lives to avoid spread of Covid-19, there is the other side of this phenomenon which is very disturbing.
Very shocking & disheartening statistics is being reported by the news channels ( I wont quote figures since they are available on the internet), about increase in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, as a result of all family members being togethre 24/7.
Living so called hectic, mechanical and superficial life, having freedom or space to oneself because of the professional life; people are now unable to tolerate their own spouses & family members, and daily reporting of domestic violence practically in every country has increased with double digit %.
Are we so impossible to stand each other in life? This pandemic will continue till it has to and subside sooner or later. But with increasing domestic violence, so many minds and hearts will be carrying deep ached & irreparable scars on their minds.
The challenges in tolerating each other are being depicted through some cruel jokes in circulation. (which I personally do not really appreciate, since such jokes undermines one another), there are also few good messages in circulation, as to how these times are helping strengthen the bonds of love, care and affection.
Friends and professionals, lets look at the possibilities of :
- making these adverse times & create best memories for rest of the life.
- listening to other family members with care, compassion and love
- trying to encourage and motivate each other in the family
- making few calls to neat and dear ones on a daily basis
- Smiling at each other as much as possible and also using shoulders of the spouse to let go the emotions when feel low and down.
- Singing, playing and helping each other as much as possible
All I wish to state here is friends, please develop your tolerance, develop your understanding towards the other person and be empathetic to others. This will help us all perform better & be more efficient, productive & objective in our profession.
If any of you feel extremely depressed and low, and feel need to talk to someone, you may please inbox me, as I might be able to give that positivity, that perspective and the purpose to live meaningfully.
Let's live & make lives meaningful.

4 年With every passing day am realising that people are practically not able to tolerate their own family members beyond a point. Does this mean life has become so mechanical and superficial that we are losing the real meaning of family life ? Does this also mean that our own family members and their emotions are not the priority to us? At work place we all tolerate so much which we essentially may not agree but with the fear of job all the professionals continue to be a part of journey, unti it becomes practically impossible to do so anymore or until the other option works out. So is it that people also look for alternate options to spouse and hence more separations ? Folks it’s an opportunity to do sincere and serious introspection of where we are heading and where we aim to be!! Happy social distancing and emotional connecting.
