Close Your Doors Open Your Hearts.

‘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.
