We are all now in the middle of one of the worst PANDEMIC the history has ever witnessed. The Novel Coronavirus or Covid -19 has turned our lives upside down. It's really been a rough transition for all us, for a moment ,even breathing feels like a task. To top it all the Lockdown and shutdowns have impacted our Economy, to make things worse we are facing an array of natural calamities. We had back to back loss of many lives majorly due to covid -19 and some due to it's impact on their lives. Domestic violence, sexual abuse of all genders,exploitation of power to oppress certain "targeted" communities, Unemployment is on the rise all across the world, people are trying hard to raise their voice against it but then why does it Keep happening?? #Black Lives Matter #Equality for all, etc have been the trending hashtags for weeks now. There's a lot happening on all the social media platforms is that helping to bring the issue to the spotlight?? Yes, it is but "Is that all we can do!!?".NO !!The Change should start from within yourself and then radiate to your surroundings and then chain continues. The way you Perceive things, the way you treat the others in your society that's where we should start. And if everyone starts with themselves, the world would be a better place in no time. It sounds great, but executing it that's where we find it hard. "With Great power comes Great responsibility"-Superman, if one is just focused on the first part of the quote and ignores the responsibility part it will end up like in the case of " George Floyd, Jayaraj and Fenix and many others who will end up losing their lives to the mistreatment by the society and it's cruelty. All the more Our Mental health has gone for a toss now, Many are taking their lives unable to cope up with the stress and the pressure, let alone not able to live peacefully due to uncertainty of their future. The Quarantine and Isolation periods are like living hell for some, and for some their utopia, it's our responsibility as fellow beings to check on each other, and support each other during these times. It's not their or anyone's fault that they are getting infected with the Virus. At this point where community transmission is on the toll , it's high time we all be vigilant , follow all precautions and do our part to break the chain and Submit everything to God and rest in him. Of course, We being social beings, it's difficult for us to strictly follow social distancing but the times are such that" better late than never".
