COVID has to STOP!

COVID has actually changed us and taught us a lot but it has to stop.

Since 2020 has started, we are living in a world of Pandemic. Many of us have been quarantined for days and months. Like I have been isolated for 4 months now. And YES! It had been frustrating. Frustrated enough to go under different mental states. In India, we say, “Empty mind devil’s house” means we overthink. We tend to center ourselves with negative thoughts and feelings. However, it was just a beginning.

Luckily, I came back to my native before lockdown. Thank goodness, I saved a lot of money. It may be a coincidence that I decided to go back home at the right time. Unfortunately, it was not so good. Because my plan flopped, business flopped and what not. WHY? The global reason — COVID 19, Pandemic. Not only me, but it has also affected the whole world. Many people would be having their new plan like I had to travel and make vlogs. Yes, I love to travel and explore.

But here I am.

I had always thought that I literally had no time to do anything. But this pandemic gave us all the freedom to look for ourselves. Understand each other better. Like in many countries, people came out of their windows and supported those fighting from this situation. Smiled at each other and helped each other. Isn’t that a change we never imagined to happen all of a sudden?

Seems like the time has slowed down. Our fast world has learned a new way of living. Our Mother nature started healing. Looks like nature was planning for a REVIVE from it’s suffering. Lakes, Oceans, Rivers are cleaner. We could hear the birds singing. The silence was quite melodious. And to be honest, I enjoyed that silence. So should we take this COVID positively that it is for good?

NO, it did well because we had not! If we weren’t harmful to nature in the first place, then nature didn’t have to do this to get its place. It has taught us a lesson. And if we don’t understand even now. Then we should be ready for whatever it takes. We have no right to cry for what has happened.

It is,

TIT FOR TAT.

Millions of us are at home practicing Social Distancing. All of us have successfully written our home isolation stories. Have you? The great thing about this is that we are not alone. In fact, the whole world is together. The story is pretty similar. Almost everyone is scared to get contagious to the virus, trying out different immunity boosters, doing Yoga & workouts. Many have learned many new recipes. Which recipe did you try?

Today, lockdown is not really imposed, and people are free to go out. But who wants to? People are now aware that it is dangerous. However, all kinds of minds are found in human species, especially with do not care attitude. They do not understand that COVID 19 does NOT have senses to feel fear or anxiety. IT IS JUST DANGEROUS to not only YOU but your FAMILY and everyone around you.

These minds will hardly understand that because they have the exclusive power to make an excuse for everything. And that is why COVID 19 has to stop.

Coronavirus doesn't have the sense to differentiate the innocent and guilty.

Thank you for reading all the way down. Be safe, Be happy :).
