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.

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.
