Answer:
The unprecedented global emergency due to the COVID-19
pandemic has jolted our lives into jitter.
Strange as it seems that we the ‘Humans’, mightiest of all creatures who keep on hoarding
to fashion our futures, are now into the submission of a microscopic enemy making every-
thing frozen still. Since staying positive or negative is all a matter of our attitude, seeking a
ray of hope at the end of a dark tunnel, the corona pandemic has taught us various lessons
to learn and implement in the future.
Contrary to the shackles of race, country, class or religion in which we keep ourselves
entangled, this unbiased corona-kind has detangled us from all the above restraints and
made us realize that wherever far we go, we humans will always remain connected to each
other-biologically, physically and chemically. This is entirely in accord with the wordings of
Swami Vivekananda, a Spiritual Master of 19th century who said, “There exists a unity in
variety. Mind, matter, spirit-are all one’’. Today the whole world seems to be united. Cutting
across all the people-made boundaries, nations have mobilized to support each other,
distributing every possible humanitarian aid across the globe to combat such a global
crisis. Today every religion, and every God, all stand united in these tough times. Every indi-
vidual is ghting as a soldier, armed with humanity, safeguarding the lives of humankind.
Whether clapping hands as a gesture of thanksgiving to the helping workers or lighting
lanterns or diyas as a practice of social strengthening exercise, every nation is doing their
part to spread solidarity among its citizens. The countless stories of humanity and generos-
ity of all the volunteers distributing meals, essential medical supplies to the needy and
poor are awe-inspiring. The precautionary measures of staying home and social distancinghas transcended ourselves from thinking words like ‘I,’ or ‘Me’, to ‘We’ and ‘Us’. Sooner rather
than later, we have understood the power of togetherness.
Nature is repairing due to deceased pollution. Rivers are clearing, birds are chirping and
owers are blooming. All this puts me into self-interrogation. It makes me introspect that
are not we the real viruses to this beautiful earth we are gifted with? Ruining it now and
then. Just as sometimes a vaccination is required to cure ourselves, this deadly virus has
given a perfect time to meditate and bring control to our self-centered lives. It has also
made us realize the signicance of living in harmony with nature that we are ought to
respect and protect. We are now healing the world to bring back the essence of its lost
beauty and restore its health.
Since optimism is a more natural to navigate away from sadness and eases pain and grief,
let us squeeze the lemons of coronavirus and turn into lemonade to seek better days that
are on its way to come.
To all the lives sacriced in this pandemic, let us pay tribute to them and pledge to be
responsible citizens towards our mother earth, making this world a better place to live in.
Just as dierent streams of water unite into a giant ocean, every individual must join in soli-
darity, strengthening its power to manifolds. I am looking forward to seeing a dierent
world of humanity that knows no division of age, wealth, caste, or creed. We leverage our-
selves to more network building, make strong bonds, and steer our way for a world of
beaming common humanity.
Let the light of hope, calm, and tranquility prevail!
