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...

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...

What is a Meaningful Life?

Some people seem to spend their whole lives disgruntled, in search of a reason, a  positive   purpose. Philosopher Iddo Landau advocates that all of us have everything we need for a significantly meaningful existence. A meaningful life is one in which there are enough aspects of adequate value, and pointless life is one in which there is not a satisfactory number of aspects of sufficient value.  Simplicity    For a life to be precious, or important, it needn’t have to be unique. Believing that specialness is tied to meaning is another error many people make. This mistaken belief leads some people to unreasonably see their lives as inadequately meaningful and to miss ways of enhancing meaning in life. They forget the  power of now   and this  gift of life .    We move, we meet new kind people, have fresh experiences, bump into new ideas, and age. As we change, our values alter, and so does our sense of purpose in life, which w...
