Restoration of a Golden Period, yes you heard that right. Isn’t this apparent from the series of situations occurring in front of us, during times of lockdown? Sense it and then you will realize it.
Our Mother Earth has returned that calm life to us, which was a dream just a few months ago.
Didn’t we all imagine a life, where one day, we will be at home with our parents, without any worries from work, eating food with the entire family, sharing and playing with them? But for many of us, this dream was deferred due to critically emerging persistent responsibilities, contentedness of dreams of life, career, finance, habitation, and others.
Every excuse was putting off this precious dream from its realization, from days to months to years so far, in the imminent future. Well yes, but that was the story a few months ago. The nature God has given us the chance to love living first then envision the discharge of obligations thereafter.
Yes, a perfect chance at our immediate doorstep, to live life again; luxuriate childhood anew, leaving behind the pile of committal engagements and living with all potentials of a blissful life.
YES, THE TIME IS BACK,
FOR YOU
TO COMPREHEND
TO ADORE
TO LIVE
AND TO REVITALIZE YOU’RE LOST SELF.
A strong message is revealed that dreams of living together, being happy together, should not be postponed by the unrealistic, uncertain, and never-ending chaos of today’s responsibilities.
Responsibilities are replenished now and then, but that might not be the case with life. When life is so unreliable, why does the humankind leave the time to live for oneself and family on the questionable tomorrow? This pandemic has taught us, the reality is just what you are surfacing, in NOW; everything else otherwise is a myth. Let’s see where we are uselessly involved:
- Making money for times of retirement, what if it doesn’t come?
- Making money to hang-loose and be fortunate, but being so tired from working to even recognize it. You will see, or rather if you take some effort to see;
- I know this pandemic is serious, but in turn, has also bought the people and the world closer. Helping the needy, rather slacking then being strict with lower levels.
- Catering free food and shelter to the disadvantaged.
- Regular posts are being shared online, that ultimately it’s your family who cares for you, in times of danger, and fear.
- Pollution levels for the metros have dropped down to significant levels.
- Air has become clean; birds are free to rule over their territory, which was otherwise, intruded by us humans.
- Water has become clean, due to stoppage of industrial dumping.
- Dolphins have returned to city marines; MARINE DRIVE, MUMBAI is a live proof.
- Roads are cleaner than before. In Japan, animals are roaming around on streets gazing freely.
- Less crowded places resulting in lesser sound pollution.
- In Singapore, the otters have been seen playing without any flinch.
- Deer have also been seen dawdling on roads in Singapore.
THE REWIND STAGE
All together in the big picture, we are in an automated reform period. In a simple sense, the world has entered its REWIND stage.
So, why can’t we? We can also take our turn to become those selfless human beings, care for others and family, our nation at large, be accountable towards our duties and not running from them, accord harmony and compassion concerning one another; impregnate a more joyful and peaceful life ahead. Also further, try to reduce or remove the clots in our community relations.
Previously, we used to take vacations debiting to our credit leaves (indirectly chargeable vacations), to spend time with family, or in some cases, even to meet the family (especially those were abroad), but now, vacation is free, at our land, at our lost memoirs of family homes, can’t we cherish and enjoy it.
CORONA is not the end of humankind and will be over in no time.
CAN’T WE BE HAPPY, OF WHAT WE ARE GETTING NOW?
NO WONDER WHEN THIS TIME WILL BE BACK.
