A hope the world continues to unite
Humans have created many things that we generally call “man-made.” Some of the man-made things include different religions, faiths, borders between different countries, caste and race systems, to mention the few. These man-made things are the root-cause of our misery and in-fights. Over the centuries humans have fought several wars to maintain and/or expand borders of their respective countries. We constantly have wars and arguments over superiority of one religion over the other. Among ourselves we have created a notion of superiority and inferiority based on color and creed. But a small tiny invisible microorganism has broken all of these man-made boundaries and infiltrated every single country, every religion and every ethnic group without any discrimination. The whole world has now forgotten all of their quarrels instantly. Every single country, friends and foe alike, is now having just one aim — that is how to contain this coronavirus. The virus is teaching us that all of the man-made creations are simply useless. What is more important is on how to sustain this beautiful human life and health on this planet earth. Once the dust settles down, I hope that humans across the globe, irrespective of religion and country, will be more united and will fight for only one cause that is how to maintain love, harmony, health, and safety for all.
