Pandemic Reality
Gods & Goddess Among Us
an ultimate realization during this pandemic time about humanity
“I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‘race’ — the human race — and that we are all members of it.” — Margaret Atwood
Different time provides experiences of different notions. In normal times, you take many of the things for granted and probably just ignore, rather than acknowledging it properly.
The title might misdirect or be misinterpreted — but the markings on this note is about the characters, who should be remembered and honoured in the pages of history and herstory.
Knowing that multiple stories and multiple articles being shared or written on their bravery, support, sacrifice and efforts. And even if hundreds or thousands of stories are shared in writing or videos or in social media, it will not be enough to express more.
It’s about the people, who are now the only people permitted to and/or brave enough to face this pandemic. The doctors, the nurses, the caregivers, the Police force, the support employees in the hospitals and clinics, the delivery personnel, the postal support employees, the security guards, the customer support personnel, the service department employees, the employees in food industry and food delivery, the transport support workers, the taxi drivers, the garbage/recycle/organic waste takers, all the people supporting and working in: Energy and Utilities, ICT, Finance & banking, health sector, water supply, transportation, safety division, essential manufacturing, Government services and many more.
“Most have been forgotten. Most deserve to be forgotten. The heroes will always be remembered. The best. The best and the worst. And a few who were a bit of both.” ― George R.R. Martin
You realize that these people are not doing their regular work; they are extending their shoulders to save humanity as a whole. You shouldn’t see them from any political ideology, or economic standpoints — you just require to feel like a human to understand what sacrifices they are making. It’s like taking bullets in their bullet armour, not knowing when there might be a hole that can be deadliest for them.
I’m seeing wonderful stories of sharing the responsibility of neighbours, taking care of the elders / seniors by delivering grocery, supporting vulnerable kids by arranging foods and these stories enlighten me how humanity should act and behave as a whole. I know that these real-life stories are already known in the local community and perhaps outside of it, but I’m keeping my positive sparks journal nowadays with this inspiring stories to look back and to believe in humanity.
“Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.” ― R.J. Palacio, Wonder
Humans are part of nature and should act to support nature. Nature works in unison and as a whole, somehow we are the only species probably — acting a bit differently to destroy the den we are living in. Only these times show us how to work as a unified part of nature and to bring the best of humanity. And the people who brings us the true nature of humanity are the true humans. I would say, real Gods and angels among us — in true human form.
