I remember my dad saying to me once, ‘You shouldn’t miss a chance to learn even if it’s a lesson taught by your enemy.’ Reflecting on my list of non-friends, I would say that the most helpful lesson always comes from people who do not have your best interest at heart- it might seem a juxtaposition but so are most of the realities of life. Coronavirus is not an exception in this regard. I reflected on what lessons our nemesis plague has taught me and hopefully to my fellow mankind unintendedly. Here’s my list:
* Natural calamity does not discriminate against colour, social status; royalty, politicians, celebrities and that small common man in the street, are all open to the same attack. Wow! Why did we have to learn a simple lesson of equality in such a hard way? * We should not take anything for granted in life, our freedom for example. Relish your freedom but don’t take liberties with it * Appreciate every crumb of happiness, like having coffee in a café. Happiness and greed are two conflicting entities. Don’t try to force yoking together two repulsing emotions. * We all require an emotive recharge with social interaction, like giving a hug to your friend. Mingling with fellow human beings comes with the responsibility to respect one another’s personal space to ensure the all round wellbeing. * Family is important; and so is spending time with them. So, don’t consider lockdown as being locked in. Even if you are in self isolation by yourself, it’s a chance to be with yourself as you have a big catch up to recover for the years of self-neglect due to outwardly occupations, which some refer to as responsibilities. I believe that charity begins at home. * Take only what you can consume, toilet rolls, for example (: not to mention corporate level of avarice at a socio-political scale. * World only exists if you are alive- and we all are examples for this philosophy. Life of our planet and every living being in it exists on a balanced scale of harmony. You don’t have to kill others in greed of life for just yourself- imagine a world where only you lived in isolation. Now that quarantine would be fatal for the soul.
A wise person understands more from few words; so, I shall leave your wisdom to take over from here. Reflect on your own individual list and really feel how each enlisted item impacts your outlook on life. It’s only with such an insight gained that we could show our advisory that we are now even stronger, armed with the knowledge of truth and our new alliance with the Universe. Let us focus together and desire for life in consolidation. Believing in your own life will terminate coronavirus as an inference. Remember only the Universe must plan ‘the when’ and ‘the how’ of the annihilation of plague and our redemption. If your belief in your desire is resolute, then the Almighty is already planning to open doors to the new founded free world for you. So, happy cataloguing your lessons- it’s an opportunity not a tedium. Hopefully you’ll all join me in lighting the 15th candle to manifest healthy mental and physical life. We stand in solidarity in our resistance to COVID-19.
