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.
