‘HUMANITY
IS IN DANGER’. We have heard a similar doomsday
prophecy in sci-fi movies like ‘2012’, ‘Contagion’, or ‘The day after Tomorrow’. These movies had a common plot revolving around an impending
threat to humanity. Where a group of remarkably common man championed
themselves as the savior of mankind. Their biggest weapon was only the will to
survive.
Out
of the reel, Humanity is in danger in real. An imposing threat is looming large
over all of us in form of an invisible organism. This time you are the hero. All
you need to do is to show with brute and power your own will to survive. Close
your doors and open your hearts.
Close
your doors to protect yourself and a large number of people around you. Then open
your hearts to think where we have brought humanity to. As you sit silently praying
and hiding from that invisible enemy with bated breath close your eyes and shut your
mind. Isolate yourself
from all sensory feelings. Just open your heart and let it do all the work.
Genius as you are, let it bombard you with questions ranging from morality to
questions based on life. Put yourself on that crucial juncture of Covid-19
positive and negative scale. Suspend your life on tenterhooks. You will find yourself grabbing with claw to the last inch of life left in you. Now, recall your
previous days, months and years. Did we ever realize how we have altered our
peaceful life into a battleground? All these time so stuck were we, in our own importance, in our false urgency, in inconsequential work , in amassing wealth, in feeding our insatiable needs that we are all
now a probable threat to our own existence. We went so crazy after our
achievements that we forgot what we initially ventured for. We are
running to nowhere. We will end nowhere. We went into a mad rush of deadlines, set
targets, created our own peaks, scaled it and felt like the master of
this world. So fast were we that we left many loved ones behind. We were so
much obsessed with ourselves that we forgot that the next catch could be one of
us. Thus, despite of our all scientific advances we are yet again at the mercy of a tiny organism.
Now
the devil is viciously staring at all of us. Yes all of us. Either we or one of
our dear ones are highly vulnerable. The enemy is powerful, it does not blink,
and it is craving not for our life but our weaknesses. Our greed, our so called
aspirations, our haste. It wants to decimate your flattered ego, break down your
false aura to pieces. It wants to shatter your achievements, burn down your
profound glory to ashes. It wants to crumble you beneath its feet and let you
shriek for life till you realize you are mortal. Till we all realize that we are
not invincible. Till we realize that how loud we may blow our trumpet we can
all be conquered. Destroyed and vanished.
By
the time the turmoil settles down a new compassionate face of the world will
evolve. In the new world we should open our heart to love for each other and peace for all of us. We can’t deny that there could be similar other virus or any unknown
danger waiting to wipe us out of this pristine planet. Superior we may be among
all living beings but vulnerable are we the most. When the thing settles for
good, we must prepare for the next onslaught, which may be in the next 10, 20
or a 100 years from now. We can only do that when our priorities are right.
When we just don’t live on indexes and statistics but on how much real worth we add to an individual life.
Time
and again nature has its way to humble the mighty . It has its way to teach us
and tell us that we all are mortals. That what is created is destroyed. That
our needs should be limited. The same nature also reminds us that the Gods best
creation have also the best of courage. That fear can be conquered and destroyed
only when we become and act in unison as a common species of human being. That
it is time to cherish the precious life God has bestowed on us. It is time
to raise a hero in all of us. It is time to bravely stand and glare into
the eyes of that invisible enemy. In isolation we will fight together and we will win and the enemy will lose.
That humanity might be in danger but we have our biggest weapon, the will power
to survive.
Stay
safe, stay indoors. Support all moves of Government.
