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.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today. Today people are worried about the  future   even more.    Crisis and compassion   Owing to so many problems deeper than what it looks like, the search for   happiness   is even more! There is the Pandemic which has created fear of a different kind for the current generation. Exceptional  changes   need to take place, especially in terms of compassion. People are becoming easily selfish and segregat...

The World after Coronavirus- It’s a New Beginning

We all know how this worldwide pandemic changed lives for many. For some, it’s been a roller coaster ride, for others, not so much. But we can safely say that it has changed everyone’s life- from a toddler to the elderly people, it has brought many life-altering   changes .    The Negative aspects   While many have the money for food, shelter, medicines, equipment, the internet, the basics to live a comfortable life, most of the population doesn’t have it. They are struggling for information, cannot afford certain basic things, have lost their jobs, and are ignored by the filthy rich. It may not sound good, but this is reality. For many, this is a very hard time mentally too. People staying under one roof have lost  happiness ,  a   stable   future ,  even  Love .    There are rising cases of alcohol abuse, domestic violence, divorces, depression, and anxiety. There is frustration, miscommunication amongst the house...

You have two choices- become a cynic or see the brighter side of everything. The first comes with its own share of burdens in your life. If you are ready to accept and embrace it genuinely, then we are with you. But why is it always important to take the hard road? You can look for  happiness ,  a lovely  future ,  pure   Love ,  and a   better world   in a fine little ways.  Be observant   To find positivity in every aspect of life, this is the number one rule. You have got to be the person who observes more. Look out for changing patterns, colors, clouds, leaves, someone’s smile, behavior. Feel the taste of the food, a person’s touch, smell that smoked pizza. This helps in being in the present too- the  Power of Now .   For example- If you see a beggar on the road smiling away, think about how it might have happened and how these things make for a lovely life in a bigger picture. An elderly may give you blessings ...
