It seems to be a vicious tangled loop.
Every day we hear news of several people losing the battle of their lives to the beast named Covid.
Can anyone be really prepared to face this kind of death and make peace with it?
We as human beings work all our lives to realize our dreams, seek happiness in little moments, try to adapt to whatever situation we are bestowed with, even if it comes to facing this apocalypse and then suddenly you or your loved ones succumb to this catastrophe. You are then left to live an ordeal realizing how incapacitated you are as a human being. People are choking to death. Funeral, the concluding chapter of one's life has umpteen importance as it's believed that it releases the soul from the body and takes the deceased towards the path where he or she can either attain moksha or leads to a new life leaving behind already possessed one. It gives your heart piercing pain when you struggle to even give a peaceful adieu to your loved ones. We say rest in peace to the departed soul. Really can that soul rest in peace which capitulated to this havoc virus or to the failure of our own infrastructure, The basics? Can the soul of a father who left his little kids rest in peace, can soul of a lady who was expecting to bring a new life on earth rest to peace, can the soul of anyone who leaves his family to shreds rest in peace?
It's high time we stop romanticizing the thoughts of keep hope, stay strong, things will improve and start acting sane.
We heard in our childhood "Prevention is better than cure". We need to practice it in every sense now by acting sensibly and taking all precautions as this seems to be the only "probable" way to stay safe and survive this fight.
Remember no one is too far from being too late.
