Where the world is in extreme hazard, where the humans are losing their lives in minutes on daily basis, where the death is ruling the planet, where the world has sabotaged, where the whirlwind lifestyle has become languid. Where it seems the planet Earth is taking rest as humans are locked down and restricted to their homes. The otherwise over-populated streets have become abandoned; the otherwise crammed roads have become deserted. All seems to be unpleasant, displeasing, disappointing, un-amusing and uneventful.
This dark time has the other view as well. For mankind, it is a break from the robotic routine. The things which should have been our top priorities were neglected. The challenging jobs and the time-fixed routine snatched away from us the sense of viewing life from a different view. From the sense of spending time with ourselves, family and kids.
The COVID-19 lockdown gave me an opportunity to do and to give time to my missed mechanisms. As like most of our working community I am also employed. Therefore, I finally got time to spend at home, with my kids and family. I started working on my spiritual nourishment as well. I soon realized that we mortals have made our lives quite tough, immensely demanding, hectic and threatening. Now, by threatening here I mean the chaotic lifestyle has taken us far away from our families. We never find time to spend with the family. Our jam-packed calendars hardly allow us to enjoy playing games with our kids or to read them a story.
In life’s race we completely ignore our parents and grandparents’ ah………! this is the sad truth of our fast-paced lifestyle where, we forget the fact that as we are growing so our parents and grandparents are growing old.
Alas! Where COVID-19 is giving a tough time to mankind, there it is also giving us a lesson of not to rush too much and not to live this life in such a haste so that our families who need our time the most will be left behind or we regret one day of losing the golden moments of our lives so rapidly.
Mankind should understand its purpose of coming into this world which is to live a calm, peaceful life, free of hatred and contest as God says;
“I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants (offspring) may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life.”
Therefore, humans need to ponder upon the way they are living and should choose their lifestyle wisely.
