Caught in COVID-19 era

A world where people are continuously moving-planning, praying, fighting, loving, hating, cheating, building, destroying et cetera without a halt just because other person or community or a country is ahead of thou. News of daily accidents, murder, extinction, climate crisis or a war like situation is ahead of you. And what we do is to give a minute of pause over such articles, regret, blame so and so and then carry ahead. What we do is deny the whole damn things happening around us because we have a work to do right? We can think about all this later or there are some people working for such issues already or we will do once we are done with over work! But just take a break and think what are we working for? Food ? Shelter? Love? Recognition? Respect? Satisfaction? Ego? Being superpower? Or a superhuman???? As Maslow’s hierarchy of needs suggest that the hunger of human do not stop once it achieves what he was aiming for and step ahead to achieve more and more until he realises that what he was aiming for since starting has nothing to do. That ultimate need is self actualization; morality, integrity, compassion towards other fellow beings is what keeps the human different from other races, what sustains them. Pandemics like COVID-19 is a snooze button which we are pressing again and again just to avoid the morning blues of devastation. We are so caught up in fulfilling the stomach that we have ignored that we have eaten much more than the hunger already. Stuck in the lower orders of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, COVID-19 has come up as a reminder that we need to step up in order to save the race. The destruction, the injury which we have caused to our mother nature. The clear blue sky, the chirping birds, happy animals roaming freely indicates that nature is happy without us disturbing them. Showed that a small virus can bring humans to the ground, the power of nature.
The time has also shown that it is the sin of powerful which makes vulnerable pay. Not education but moral values. And also that the disease has no boundaries whether you are a developing or developed, black or white, east or west! Mankind is one and sense of togetherness is what the most important in such times. Just give a thought!!
