Quarantine Life and Lessons for Humanity
Coronavirus is all over the news, and truly, if you have anxiety with all the covid 19 updates going, please do not read on.
The coronavirus took us by surprise, and destroyed us within months. Nobody imagined that it would murder so many people, compel countries to lockdown, halt schools and public spaces and put our life on pause. It hit us and now it's everywhere. It made the whole globe bleed, and spreading like wildfire.
Everyone has been posting about this (and no it's not a post about panic purchasing and no toilet paper), and I honestly do not know where I stand. I am an international student studying in the UK, and I recognized that I would probably not be able to properly say goodbye to the city I finished falling in love with.
My buddies with whom, I had numerous memories with left in one second. The examinations that I have been preparing for months got postponed, and we are suddenly left with this gap and at the same time this disarray. Like every student, I have no idea what will happen to the status of my examinations, and will I ever be able to legitimately graduate, to embrace my instructors and tell them thank you, to have that Europe vacation with my friends and to enjoy my 21-year old life. There is this terror, and it's like our lives have been reprogrammed.
During this pandemonium, we then comprehend the weight of humanity, the implications of our acts and how we all are related. While we wait for borders to be opened, so that we may go back home in the warmth of our bed, we hear the yells of refugees louder, we 'empathize' with those who have been uprooted from their home, and force to run, we understand their agony and suffering because we know how it feels. '
We know that we share a religion that is humanity, and this crisis is bringing humanity out of people.The world is changing, it is healing, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually, the planet will be cleaned up, the balance will be restored, and the world will be healed. Racism, health and love are only a few of the numerous lessons that may be learned from that experience.
People stayed at home as a result. In addition, they took time to immerse themselves in new experiences, such as reading books and listening to music, as well as taking breaks to rest, exercise, create art, and play games. Also, I paid closer attention. Some chose to reflect, while others prayed or danced. Only a few met their demise. And as a result, people began to change their perspectives. And the people were restored to health as a result. So when people stopped behaving in an irresponsible and callous manner, the earth started to heal. They lamented their losses, formed new choices and images in their dreams, and devised new ways to live and heal the planet entirely as they had been healed, and once the threat had gone and the people had come together again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those who live in toxic environments at home, as well as those who suffer from depression and other mental health disorders that make it difficult to maintain social distance. Let's face this together, and I'll be there for you whenever you need me. So let's take better care of ourselves, improve our self-esteem, learn to love and accept ourselves and others more profoundly, spread compassion, and get well so that we don't bleed on the people who didn't cut us in the first place.
