Now is our Chance to Heal the World?

The pandemic has created a major shift in the way we live and take things. For most of the population, it has created difficulties in terms of financial issues. We sometimes don’t even know how America is in so much debt and still running the way it is. Who does it owe that much anyway? And if it can work smoothly, so can all of the other countries. The other issue is the mental health problem that everyone is facing. The positive outlook doesn’t last long in such scenarios. 

 

Climate

During this pandemic, we saw the better side of climatic changes around the world in this gift of life. Dolphin sightings, clearest of skies (minimal pollution), silence (less noise pollution), and most importantly, the largest hole in the ozone layer healed itself! Aren’t these subtle messages by the nature that we should change our way of living?

 

Living with minimum needs

It was great to see that because of the pandemic, many had to do work on their own, buy things only if necessary. We realized how much we can do with lesser items. Did consumerism ruin us? We are keeping limited stock of food, using lesser utensils to minimize wash sessions, cleaning home alternate days instead of every day, etc. We realized that the planet can be saved (and we can live) by using minimum items in our life. This is the common good for all. 

 

Value of life

The pandemic has taught us how precious life is. There is selfishness growing too. We must understand that it won’t do any good. If we are compassionate then working together will be a beautiful journey. We started valuing our family and friends this pandemic. We learned new things and new ways to live. The “new normal” is happening as we speak. Living in the power of now is the new mantra. Seeking the spiritual side of living is on way. 

 

It has shown the real faces of people too

Of course, there has been the downside to it too. People showed their true colors. The emergence of segregation between people affected by the virus and those who are not is disgusting. There is a political competition of which country will create the vaccine first and many more. 

 

Using the rational mind, emotional intelligence among others should be the way to go to heal this world before it gets extinct soon.

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...
