A Fragile World: Lessons from COVID 19


A fragile world
Oh what a fragile world we live in
We can't shake hands or hug our loved ones anymore
Suddenly we can't breathe in good air or breathe out a sigh of relief  out of fear of contracting an airborne virus
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Prices of goods and services are  falling in an instant
A must-have expensive product in stores has now become a less expensive product hiding in a small shelf
Businesses, from giant corporations to small startups are now on the verge of a collapse
What a fragile world we live in

How all things can change in an instant
How fragile our lives have become in a split second
Fear and anxiety have pounced on us like an animal pouncing on its helpless prey
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Suddenly how little  our achievements and riches have become
Where are they all now?
Why can't we boast of them now??
I will tell you where they are
They are all consumed in our fear and uncertainty of what is to happen next
As if they never existed here on this earth before
Oh what a fragile world we live in

How useless our possessions and plans have become now
They are of no value to us
We have come to prioritise safety and living healthy over them
All we are crying for is a cure to save us from this  infectious spell
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Suddenly our consciousness on our spiritual life has fast risen
We are now praying to God for answers and for redemption
How this world yearns for God now
Yet we all made him too small to fit into our hearts
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Perhaps we  can all learn to be less proud and more accepting of others
Less selfish and and more selfless to the cause and service of others
Less materialistic and more of our consciousness on unity and togetherness.

If our thoughts and actions can be guided accordingly on appreciating the life that we have first above every other fleeting things of this world, we will find this life more meaningful and a purposeful one to live for each day that passes.

I hope this my piece of writing and this fast wave of a viral disease will give you and me a thoughtful lessons we can reflect on as we live our lives here on this earth.

Safety first.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

The  Inconvenient  Truth

We hate the truth so much today. We hate hearing about it and hate  it even more when it is coming from other people who we feel are not close to us. We are quick to swallow and lend our ears  to any lie that flatters us but find it hard, almost impossible to live with the truth because it may appear bitter to us. Meanwhile, it would have been much better for us and our lives to live knowing the truth and painfully taking the long path to do the right thing than to take a shortcut or a detour of many deadly pleasures just to do wrong. No matter how hard or  harsh, it may sound for you to hear the truth or receive it, if it is going to put your life in the right direction, please listen and listen good. Stay away from people who will hail you at every turn, people who find everything and anything you do to be nothing but good. Because none is perfect, we all have our good and bad sides. It is impossible for you to always have a good side all the time even if you fake i...

Change Your Words Change Your Life

Our brain while listening to words uses two separate areas to identify the mood and the real meaning of the words. Words are passed to the left temporal lobe of the brain for processing, and intonation is channelled to the right side of the brain, a region more stimulated by music. Do not speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke. You know why?? Because your brain and body doesn't know the difference. Words have energy and they cast spells on your body. Change the way you speak to yourself, change the way you speak about your life. What you are not changing in your life with positivity, you are actually choosing it to remain the same. How do you change negative words?? *Speak to Yourself* It directly influences how you experience things in life. Our words play an important part in shaping our existence, so if your internal self-talk is negative, your external experiences will most likely be negative as well. *Start with a small shift* Replace just one word th...
