Pandemic



Life is funny. Recently I have found a poem which is really inspiring, would like to share with you all:

We fell asleep in one world. and woke up in another.

Suddenly Disney is out of magic,
Paris is no longer romantic,
New York doesn't stand up anymore,
the Chinese Great Wall is no longer a fortress,
and Mecca is empty.

Hugs and Kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents and friends becomes an act of love.

Suddenly you realize that power, beauty, and money are worthless,
and cannot get you the oxygen you're fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful.
It only puts human in cages.
I think it's sending us a message:
"Human, you are not necessary.
The air, earth, water, and sky without you are just fine.
When you come back,
remember that Avocado Toast (a millennial popular food) is optional. Not a requirement."

My thought: It's easy for nature to claim her territory back without human interference. We should take this pandemic as a warning to treat the Earth better and realize that nothing is more important than our health. Thanks to this virus, I could enjoy the city without heavy traffic due to temporary shut down of businesses, the cleaner air we could breathe now due to less industrial activities, the wfh lifestyle and new business opportunities. I saw that homeless people are finally taken care of by the city leaders and broken roads are finally getting repaired. Humanity is evolving with the help of technology and this virus. Anyways, I always believe in positivism, crisis creates opportunities! Cheer up, my friends!
