What are the novel lessons that Corona has taught us?

A few weeks back corona was just a magnificent phenomenon you get to hear in physics books. But today its a fear that has brought almost the entire world to a lock down. As the novel corona virus (Covid-19) spreads like a wildfire, in many cases humanity could do nothing but to painfully watch. This exponentially spreading pandemic has been an eye opener for multiple reasons. 

Here are a few lessons which the year 2020 has taught us and probably will be remembered for. 

1: We humans are all fundamentally the same, irrespective of caste, religion, race or even nationality. The virus doesn't give a damn about your bank balance nor about your popularity. It doesn't care whether you are black, brown or white. Which makes us realize that these are all unreal divisions created by us in our minds. 

2: As long as, all of us don't recover from it, none of us can really overcome this contagion. The battle we are fighting today cannot be fought alone, but collectively. A good reason to hold on to unity and fraternity.

3: Great economies or filled pockets doesn't really ensure wellness. Basic needs for living have been long under looked. It is in fact, in good health - mental, physical and emotional well being. And of course the environment  we live in. That brings us to the 4th point. 

4: As man goes into isolation, nature is able to breathe again and other life forms are reviving even in this short span of time. Time to give a thought about the long lasting damage we have been doing to nature since time immemorial. 

5: Humanity brags about conquering Mars and beyond. While creating an inhabitable world outside, we have been destroying it here on earth for our own needs and greed. Today we are all locked up in our homes, advised not even to step out. 

6: Time! Time has been regarded as the second most important thing in the world. Most important thing being, life itself. We have been so busily running to meet our daily targets, we could hardly spare a day for ourselves, our family or the environment. Today we have ample of time to not do what we have been doing all through. All we can give away today is time, to save ourselves and our dear ones.

7: We have been fighting among ourselves over temples, mosques and churches, in a race to establish the supremacy of our God's over other’s. But during this time of helplessness, all the supernatural powers shut their doors in front of us. We only have living angels in the form of doctors, nurses and other health workers who are working tirelessly in the sacred buildings called hospitals. 

And this time too, would surely pass. Hopefully soon enough. But let's take some of these messages forward for a better tomorrow!
