Including Love and Compassion in times of a Pandemic

Whether there is a pandemic or not, in today’s world we need to have a lot of compassion for others. This virus has opened up a lot of eyes to a new way of thinking. There have been huge changes, and there is a hint of a new beginning of some sort.

The affects of showing love and compassion

Firstly we need to carry such action with a genuine heart. There shouldn’t be an ulterior motive for the care you give. Yes, it is easy to write but you need to spread happiness unconditionally today. 


  • The person doesn’t feel alone- Lot of people right now feel that it is the end and no one is there for them. If you can help them be themselves and listen, it will do a great deal of goodness. Let them know that they are together in this fight which will make them feel like there is a better world. 
  • Gains confidence- You need to let them know that nothing is permanent and that includes this time. Show them how to fight with little steps. Show them that the future isn’t bleak. Tell them stories about winners, failures who have stood up again. Tell them to take their time to get up and be them. A positive attitude should lift their spirit. 
  • Starts feeling worthy- If you include them in small chores, it will make them feel helpful and worthy. This is very important. People, especially those who suffer from depression feel they are worthless. Emotional Intelligence is low. Since they are in their negative world, this will also distract their mind from thinking so. There was always a place for violence, hatred, and repulsion in this world. There is war, protests, murders, rapes going on everywhere. The only new thing that adds on to it is this pandemic. People as it is feared this gift of life that the pandemic showed up to increase it even more. 

The world needs to know about the power of now, belief in new possibilities. But that is only possible if they believe in themselves. A loved one can only help up to a certain extend with love and compassion. Unless the receiver doesn’t reciprocate, absorb the action and take it into their stride, it doesn’t help. Just like Self-help books, pictures and documentaries will only help someone if they apply it. 


There is a common good in love and compassion. Spirituality is also one among others to explore for betterment.

Having Grit and Exploring Spiritual Feelings

Resilience is bouncing back from any hardships that any person may face in life, coming back stronger, mentally, and physically from that hardship and moving on to make a more meaningful life. Grit refers to the willpower that an individual shows in pursuing his long-term goals. For any person to demonstrate resilience and high grit, he should have a  positive   orientation in life with profound values and purpose through which they attain meaning in life. It can be assumed that if the level of mysticism/spirituality would below, there will be low grit as well as low resilience observed.  Spirituality is a private belief that acts as a sieve through which an individual perceives and understands the world. It influences how they live, how they react to stressful situations, how well, and how speedily he recovers from moving strain. It gives a sense of meaning to this  gift of life  and may or may not contain belief in higher divine supremacy. People with a sp...

Can being “Positive” feel Forced?

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one  gift of life   where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to.  What is forced or toxic positivity?   Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt. This is awfully common on social media where people are anticipated to only show the good side of their lives.   The term 'toxic positivity' refers to the idea that focusing on the alleged positive emotions and reject anything that may activate negative emotions is the right way to live a life.    The pressured feeling   This kind of feeli...

What are the odds?

What are the odds that we were born on this planet? What are the odds that there is life beyond this galaxy? What are the odds of getting the coronavirus again even after the vaccine is made? There are questions that we all crave answers for. While some will answer what you want to hear, the  positive , others will be objectively answering it. Biomedical research habitually focuses on the discovery of relationships (associations) between variables (phenomena or attributes). It is significant to note that association may or may not signify a causal relationship. This depends on numerous factors.    This is the  gift of life   that everyone needs to accept no matter what the answers. You are here and will be here for as long as your life permits.    Coincidence or accident?   Many believe in serendipity, signs, telepathy, things that are beyond our explanation. Some believe in the  power of now .  it is said that there is a w...
