Pandemic lessons

Covid19 changed our world, our lives, our perceptions, ..It made us go back to something we learned long ago, as children.. The basic necessities of life..Needs for sustenance.. Air, water, food and shelter..All others are luxuries..

  Did it open our eyes? All our proud systems are in shambles now.. We saw people whom we thought secured their retirement going away not claiming even that six feet of earth..

  We were in a rat race, as individuals, as communities, as countries.. We lived every single minutes of our lives thinking about achieving targets, cutting new business deals, enhancing financial capabilities.. We even adorned our children with armours.. Always told them life is a race..We put them in the battlefield of life stealing all their childhood charms..

  And now as we stand in the shambles, we are numbed, perplexed, confused, .. There may be job losses, financial difficulties..It's upto each of us to decide whether to stand there and weep on the remnants of the past glory or to move forward as a warrior.. It's going to be a new world, new order and new opportunities..

We just need to do some rearrangements, in thoughts, perceptions and ideas..And remember, we were always inspired by stories of courage, endurance, perseverance, and success...It's just the time to write our own success stories...
