The murderer is still on the run… Don’t be insensitive!

Most of us take the killer virus seriously only when it hits our neighbors, friends, or family members hard; It hits the housing society we live in and takes a life or two, and we get very serious about deciding to follow the guidelines strictly and, if possible, not venture out at all; it hits our dear friends or family members, particularly the elderly, and we show the same feelings and concerns, even advising others to take it seriously. Yet we hear or see the news about thousands of deaths around the world every possible day since COVID-19 appeared, and immediately check the death rate, taking comfort or consolation that it is still lower and more manageable. This makes us dizzy and careless, apparently not convinced to strictly follow the rules and precautions. But we must realize that for a particular person, death means final closure, the end of the world, shutting him off completely from everything mundane and that he can never speculate on the behavior or low mortality rates that the virus displays. . We must never forget how countries like the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France suffered; we must not take lightly the situation that still prevails in the US, Brazil and India. Therefore, death is totally undesirable, whatever the number, and modern human society can never accept that deaths happen to its fellow citizens on a regular basis. We must learn from this to be compassionate towards any loss of life on our Planet Earth, and never be insensitive. The killer virus can infect anyone and can stalk anyone regardless of religion/region/wealth/ethnicity/age, and its low mortality rate does not in any way guarantee our safety and longevity. From now on you must learn to think of humanity and live for humanity.

The coronavirus pandemic has so far infected more than 16 million people in the world with total deaths exceeding 6,50,000. You can no longer be comfortable if infections cross the billion mark, because in that eventuality the death toll, even at its current low rate, would astound you. You will no longer be willing to be swayed by the skepticism or black humor that is constantly circulating or in eternal forwarding mode on social media, and you would start blocking those clueless idle souls trying to spend their ample hours of free time, and in the process misinforming and deceiving millions. You will have already encountered several forwards trying to compare the deaths in the pandemic with the normal numbers of deaths from normal diseases, and in doing so managing to give the impression that the virus is nothing serious that would justify the series of lockdowns and strict regulations. of a new normal. Once they cast off their casual approach to the sufferings of humanity in the clutches of the killer virus, they will cease to be impressed by such nonsense and harmful intentions. And that would open you up to compassion, empathy and love for other human beings.

This, of course, does not mean that you are doomed to a gloomy, dull, stuffy existence. Praying for the dead and praying to save our planet from COVID cannot stop you from living your life with a positive spirit and brightness: you should never give up your jovial nature; you must do your daily work in a good mood with all other family members; you should do your work from home with pleasure; you should enjoy movies or entertainment shows on TV with everyone else at home; you have to eat with enthusiasm and appreciate the dishes prepared; must be alert and attentive to household needs by managing online orders/deliveries well; you must do your daily exercises indoors if you are not allowed outdoors; of course, if you’re able, try donating a few dollars online to make life a little better for the poorest and most suffering; and you must continue to strictly follow the rules by advising others in that direction as well. You must also learn to accept the fact that COVID will not go away quickly and that any positive advances in medicines or vaccines for a possible cure or prevention of COVID will take some time. In addition, the killer virus must also be given its due, because we have to admit that the new coronavirus is very intelligent and dangerous, and it can even mutate in its murderous attempt to defeat humanity. In times of crisis, being the eternal skeptic is wrong, and being insensitive is a sin. Amen!
