All of us are going through this phase of being angry, sad and even helpless... about the COVID situation around us! And each and every one of us have a very different way of handling and dealing with it..
Some blame the government, better infrastructure, better planning, of course who knows how things might have changed in the second wave?! Always there are ifs and buts...
Some go out there to help the COVID patients and their family handle this wretched journey, while some just stay at home and be safe...
But one thing is common, no one wants to take the blame upon themselves...
Have you ever seen parents blame themselves that they could have reduced numbers if they had NOT sent out their kids to play? I understand and I have kids bouncing off walls at home, but may be this time it would have been a better idea to keep the kids at home..
Have you seen educated people, shying away from taking tests or even worse, not sending their maids back home when they start having symptoms? It takes courage to face the positive test result, and of course more courage to let the maid go and share the household chores within the family.. but isn't it our social responsibility to do this? While this pandemic is going on, the most we can do is... stop the spread, especially among the lesser privileged folks?
So again ending on this high positive note - It really is in our hands to contribute, like drops of water into the ocean, by taking small baby steps to keep ourselves and our society safe. Stop the spreading with whatever it takes... We are much stronger and after all we come from the land of 'Karma-bhoomi' and its high time we all think of the actions we perform now, and how it is going to stack against our Karma..
Until we meet again, stay safe!
