The world has come to a screeching halt. And in the corner of my heart, there is guilt and pain. And a quiet voice that says that we brought this upon ourselves and that we deserve this. We inflicted this pain upon ourselves! Why did we not stop? Why did we not stop to realize that we will not be here forever, but the planet will be? Why should a virus teach us our fragility? Why do we have to grab and consume everything? So much so that somewhere a forest must be cleared off to meet our needs. Why did we not stop this mad race?
Don’t you feel ashamed? I feel so ashamed when I see everything flourishing when humans are kept away. Don’t you see, that IT IS US, that are actually the deadliest virus on this planet for so so long? Look at what we did to the animals, to the soil, to the forests, and to everything around us. If the animals knew how to speak, they would be laughing at us now, looking at our futile attempts to save ourselves.
Maybe this will be over. And when it is over, maybe our perception of life would have changed. Maybe we will choose to be more compassionate to every other being on this planet. Maybe we will choose to love more fiercely. Maybe we will choose different ways of living. Maybe we will learn to embrace the uncertainty of life. And, Maybe we will do our part to mend what we broke here.
For now, our beloved Planet has decided to take her time out. Let her heal in whichever way she chooses to. We might succumb and pay the price or survive somehow. When everything will be done and dusted, she would have spoken clearly, that you and I are no special, and that she can reclaim us back whenever she wishes to. And, right now she has decided to play her field, and clean up some Viruses off of this Planet!
