Being human

(In times of quarantine)

I like to see moon up in the sky
Don't want it to be close by
I am kind of a person
Who likes things the way they are
Just want things to be done
Simply the way they are

Life around the world seems to have come to a stand still. Roads that were once buzzing with noise have become static. Although we fall short of considering, things that are still in motion, undeterred by the present pandemic. The sun and moon rise as usual and planets go retrograde as per destiny. Trees are full of new leaves and glaciers are covered with snow. Meals are being cooked and relished more.Offices and school curriculum are being run from home. So much so the doctors and nurses are working overtime, but not from home.

All of us are simply trying to be human. Try and see the bigger picture here, we are buying only essentials and eating less of junk. The air around us is clear and water in rivers is cleaner. This is something which as human race we were trying to achieve but were falling short of effort and implementation . Today nature has taken over the charge, to keep itself  healthy and nourished. God forbid, incase of unavailability of vaccine against Covid 19, human race is at risk contamination. At the moment it feels like survival of the fittest is the ultimate theory. Nature has taken the lead and gone into auto correct mode.

In times of crises we wait for super humans or Avatars to save us from perishing. On contrary we forget to identify our own potential of simply being human. A little effort goes a long way. Maintaining health n hygiene, less use of petroleum products, living within the means basically following the ever green rule of 'simple living high thinking', might help us deal with the present situation. It can be beneficial for us in the long run as well . The time has come to learn from our mistakes. We need to stop taking things for granted. Nature has a way of teaching us a lesson. It is better late than never.
