The future after COVID-19

What's going to happen in the future is our today's karma. Karma has many definitions. What is happening today is just a blueprint of yesterday's thoughts generated. To this date, there are 6.1 million infected people globally and 373k deaths. Our selfish thinking and mentality of conquering, if not another country then nature has brought us to this point where we are losing our friends and family.

यथा चित्तं तथा वाचो यथा वाचस्तथा क्रिया । चित्ते वाचि क्रियायां च साधूनामेकरूपता ॥

As is the mind so is the speech; as is the speech so is the action; there is uniformity in the mind, diction, and action of the noble.

It is a message from mother nature that the formidable civilization is too fragile and will collapse one day. We can't avoid this even if we have all the technology available here with us. Nature is the biggest power, isn't it?

What has happened has happened. Hopefully, the pandemic will soon be over. Most of us are not far-sighted. We don't see or intend to create a safe future for the next generations. "An ocean is formed when each drop is combined together."

We need to pay more attention to the bad habits we usually do that hurt nature. With this growing technology, we have detached ourselves from the very nature we are born from. This technology can also be a boon to spread a positive message for this earth. There is no such planet B where we can settle. It's our duty to keep the environment clean the same we keep our homes clean.

We struggle with demands, needs, and desires and for these make us reach those even if we destabilize nature. As the COVID and lockdown will vanish, people will rush to lift the economy and produce more and more to go back to self-destruction mode. This is great opportunity to think what we are producing is even of any benefit? Becoming a billionaire or trillionaire will do any benefit to society? To mother earth?

Every time we go shopping first question that should come in the mind is "Do I need XYZ?"

"Why do I need it?"

"Killing is okay for food?"

"Using plastic products that eventually reaches the ocean is necessary?"

Think..

This is the quality we have gotten as a human. When we realize that we are the least important creature of mother earth but an important factor to fix it, we will start utilizing our lives in a productive way.

I hope this will change something in our lives.
