As of May 2021, this will be more than a year now since the start of COVID pandemic. Never in my imagination and not even graze my mind that I will be living in this kind of world situation which I thought I can only find in the history lessons. Alas! it leads me to my midnight thoughts.
First thing first, aside from not seeing my family and friends and being locked at home, I’m among of the lucky ones who is not that much affected and im so thankful for that every day that I wake up in the morning.
So, moving on to the random thoughts that was of course got influenced by things that I read on social media, one of that “make sense” idea was that once in a while, this crisis/pandemic/war that is happening are meant to happen to bring balance to the world. I mean, make sense if number of people are increasing and the earth remains the same, it’s not like we try to limit procreation. I know thousands of people die everyday without pandemic but it still not on par with the speed of our procreation and use of resources, so one way or another, it will bound to happen specially with the persons nature to self destruct.
Now that im convinced that these world tragedy is bound to happen, now my next thoughts or rather a question, “who’s going to survive?”. I know that everyone are affected and no one is really safe, but let’s be realistic here, it seems majority of the people will survive since they most likely can buy out their safety in a way, and those from middle and poor class will die. Is it fair? Is it meant to be? Does the world purposely go and kill majority of the weak? hhhmmm. Does the world loves the poor and wanted to end their suffering quickly or it is telling that it doesn’t need too many poor is not needed and better off without. Im still undecided with this.
Next, Pandemic babies. I know, its sad to call them like this (I’ll think about terms later). These babies born before and during pandemic will reach their first year if not already, locked inside their home or in the least, doesn’t experience outside world much. Imagine the shock when all is well and they begin to see the mall/park/beach for the first time hehe. It’s adorable to watch their reaction and wonder how will they feel when they can run and do things in open space!.
Next, psychotic/selfish/entitled/racist/covidiot/(insert bad word here) people. I cannot believe the audacity of those people to do bad things in time of crisis, its ridiculous!. Sometimes I wonder how far a “sane” person can go. I mean, punching someone you don’t know, deceiving people, endangering others because of your whim!. (sighs)
My mood is getting dark so I need to switch to silver lining, and it leads me to the next thoughts. So many people are learning new things , getting out their comfort zone and finding success. Suddenly the value that we give to our family/friends and other important things in our life have significantly increased. Those hobby or other things that we like but forgotten because how “busy” the day is, are now giving us happiness again. We also find happiness in discovering true goodness of human when we see people helping each other. We even find humor in everything including naming those karens, anti-maskers and rest of the (insert bad word here). We become more thankful in life and closer to our faith.
So many things are happening this pandemic, and some will say that we might be all in the same sea but never be on the same boat in this kind of situation. I say, lets all be thankful for everyday for every smallest blessing that we have and try to help others as much as we could, because we might be in different boat, im pretty sure that we share the same sky. When the sun goes up, hopefully, everything will be bright and feel right again.
So that’s all for my thoughts, just sharing. And oh! i almost forgot, i want to remind everyone not to be “covidiot”, thats all.
