It has been more than a year since the virus came. Yes, The Coronavirus. I never imagined I would witness such kind of thing in my entire lifetime. Things were getting better a couple of months ago. The situation was getting under control until a new strain of virus was discovered and things started to get more serious. After a couple of days, the situation got worse, the number of cases rose and so did the number of deaths. There are crowds at the cemeteries. People are suffering all over, people are dying and the reason is not only the virus itself, it is the fear of dying that has entered into them by looking around, they are dying because they have been socially cut off from the people they love because of the infection, the infected are getting depressed and it is worsening their condition. Someone lost their parent; someone is suffering from the loss of their new born child and someone is crying over the loss of the partner they have recently tied knot to. People are running around to save the ones who are affected by this disease, requesting for help, desperate to find beds, medicines, oxygen cylinders and all sorts of things they can to save the life. Not everyone is able to bear the costs of the things required thus, causing financial breakdowns.

People are hurting. A lot of them are. People with less money are emptying their accounts for the treatment. People with high balances are suffering too because of the lack of resources. Even after all this, there are people who are benefitting themselves from the suffering of people, unaware of the fact that their time will also come.

Death and suffering do not see the bank balance of their victim, neither does it care where you come from, the things you have achieved or how much fame you have gathered. So, if you are safe at home, have food to eat, have people around you who love you, if you are healthy and can breathe freely, please appreciate that. If you are able to help someone in need, please do. If you hold a grudge against someone, just forgive and move on. Because one day when you will leave, your money, your ego won’t remember you. You will be remembered by the good deeds you’ve done.
