TOMMOROW IS ANOTHER DAY

"Resilience isn’t flying through without tears. You don’t need resilience to get through the easy stuff. Resilience is being knocked down by something, struggling through the mud, and standing up again, even if limping and on one leg, but standing up to fight another day.”

The past few weeks has been surreal for the whole world. As I started capturing my thoughts am kind off vicarious and feeling dejected, unhappy that am not able to help/serve the needy one’s in the world which is quite unfortunate. In this moment only thing which matters is how doctors, health care workers are handling millions of patients suffering from this havoc pandemic, it’s massively disruptive and for many people it has been intensely stressful dealing with this catastrophic situation for them. I can imagine the nerve-wracking days, sleepless nights they are going through and it’s our individual responsibility of stabilizing the pandemic. No one knows how long this pandemic will last, or how long people’s lives will feel upended. Combined with the stress of jobs, not being able to go on long drive, mounting debt, household strains or even not being able to blow off steam at the gym, people may increasingly feel frustrated, bored, angry or confused but be happy that you are alive and safe. For many people who are most vulnerable to the disease, the reality is that “no one’s calling, no one’s checking, they’re running low on food and wondering what happens when their prescription runs out.

Every morning I wake up and show gratitude to god for keeping us thriving and it’s a great possession one can ask for! I would like to relate to a great Sanskrit verse “Lokhasamasta sukhino bhavanthu." May be it’s a sign that we were so busy all this days running behind materialistic things, relationships, time, chasm between rich and poor but in this process we failed to recall the importance of conserving the mother nature and this constantly prompts us that we are all equal irrespective of gender,caste,country,etc...This dates back to the theory of preserving nature since we were ignorant of the nature and nature is trying to get us back to the equilibrium/symmetry by reminding us that we humans are the demolishers of the environment. Increasing human population interacts with local and global environments to deplete biodiversity and resources humans depend on, thus challenging societal values centered on growth and relying on technology to mitigate environmental stress. Although the need to address the environmental crisis, central to conservation science, generated greener versions of the growth paradigm, we need fundamental shifts in values that ensure transition from a growth-centered society to one acknowledging biophysical limits and centered on human well-being and biodiversity conservation.

When you socially distance, you stay home and interact only with the people with whom you live. You don’t go to your workplace. You don’t go on dates. You don’t visit your friends on the other side of town. You don’t eat at your favorite restaurant to celebrate your birthday. You postpone your big wedding. This is just an arduous phase for all of us and we will get through if everyone cooperates, collaborates and follows suggested measures.

“We must embrace pain and burn it as a fuel for our journey.Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform."
