Usually, it is said that there is always some good in everything. Everything happens for a reason. This COVID-19 as a global pandemic is really bad but what is the message of goodness that can be extracted and what message can we extract from our reaction to it?
Anti-Clock Wise
Our life has gone back to anti-clockwise. We are living simple lives with all technology. The whole world is almost locked down in one strike. All people are connected worldwide due to COVID-19. We are all living simple lives. We are eating simple, healthy, one-dish meals in order to save groceries for the long term. We are becoming more kind towards humanity to help and assist people. We are thinking of others’ needs and respecting others more. Empathy has increased and apathy is starting to disappear. We are becoming self-less more and putting others above us i.e. irrespective of fame, wealth, status.
We are thinking of the future with serious thought and about what really matters in life. We are focusing more on relationships and less on loneliness. This teaches us the reality of life.
Party Online
Everybody is connected to friends and family. They are sharing activities, chats, thoughts, and ideas. First, we are alone in-crowd. We may physically alone but digitally together. We realized life is too short and to live in the present, at the moment. The gifts of Allah are precious and we are only starting to appreciate them.
We should live whatever time we have with full obedience to Allah and in appreciating His blessings. Be kind, patient, helpful, positive and always learning.
