Are we doing enough as homosapiens?
[Disclaimer]: This article is not intended to discredit or accuse someone of anything but to mention things and concern over humanity. This is purely written by focusing on the problems of the people. Opinions are dynamic, it may change from person to person and this is my opinion on how we are dealing with some problems in our society that have been in the open but not looked into.
I request you to not just read this and pass by, but to comprehend what am going to share about the recurring problems that can be avoided or can be reduced to a minimum level.
This time, there is no better option for some people, its do something or die like you are nothing.There are people who are living hell in this time of pandemic with no hope in overcoming this situation. This is causing problems and will definitely increase if this goes on.
Their morals, their code; it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be.”
-The joker (Heath ledger)
Everything is going out of control in some areas in this midst of stopping the spread of Covid-19. People are doing things that they themselves never thought of doing to thrive a day because there is no clarity and assurance for their tomorrow.
There may come a time when the only thought of survival is to get help from anyone or to steal and to rob the same people they get help from. Sometimes they will do whaever it takes to feed their family and to get somewhere or something to overcome this helplessness.
This behaviour is not the actual problem. This behaviour may be the expression of the problem. The root cause of the problem should be treated accordingly.
They may know that they are doing wrong but they have no other option left to choose other than survival. Where will this end if this goes on? Killing each other for food and safety? Hope this doesnt reach that level. We are also animals and the only thing is that we are higher in the chain. They cannot be blamed completely for the actions because most of them dont know what is going to happen,how long this will go, Who is going to help them. All these questions will surely create a panic in the minds of people. If the Government answered some of these questions and imposed measures accordingly this could have been reduced but not ‘avoided’. Every income class should be given same importance as its directly propotional to each other.(Example — If the workers of a company stop working or demands more for their work . It would be hard for the the top level management to run the company as it will increase the cost of production. Likewise, If theres no company for the workers to work then its the same tragedy affecting the people.)
The balance of importance should be considered in every sector to get through this crisis which is affecting the whole world and will go on affecting if we do not set out proper measures to face it, theres no avoiding these risks. The only way is to analyse every problems with same standards not with partiality.
Government is doing their best in some places but in some places it is getting worse as it goes. Did the Govt do anything? Yes they did. Did they do enough for the people living in fear and destitution? No absoluetly not.
Government should address these set of problems and its solutions as all the people suffering are a part of this so called biggest democratic nation.
Execution should be done with constant planning and that is not the case here. The Government policies are pushing this economy and the people to the limit. So its time to act our own.
The greatest crimes in modern history resulted not just from hatred and greed, but even more so from ignorance and indifference.
-A quote from Yuval noah harari ( 21 lessons from 21st century)
Are we doing enough as homosapiens?
What are we becoming as we are eating at our table complaining about quarantine and the lockdown and being able to go out to have fun for out time to pass. There are people who dont get this privilege of being at home nor having the option to make food for their children. There are people being abused in their own houses by fathers, husbands, mother-in-law, brothers and vice versa. People tend to show their frustation and thus resulting in these conflicts and abuse.
On the other side there are people walking thousands of kilometers just to see and to be with their loved ones and mothers going against the odds to help their children from danger.
All this situation of panic is caused by the fear and confusion of what is going to happen in the coming time.
We all would have thought about these generic attrocities happening in this world right now but never gave it the power that it needed. Shouldn’t we be empathetical enough to empower these thoughts in helping one another now. If not now ? When?
This pandemic will bring an inevitable change in the minds of some people to live life in more harmony and with empathy. But right now it is not the case if we take the whole of people. From now on, We should priotorise our social well being which includes both physical and mental health as our first concern and should chop down the dispensible desires which are not mandatory in livinga good life. These extra desires have been making us ignore the mentality of helping others as we are locked onto ourselves by the temporary satisfaction we get from materialism and list goes on.
Everything problem in this pandemic cannot be solved. Its true. But being the higher animals who can adapt and act accordingly using intellect? I? you? we?
Who is the one that has the power to choose? Ask it yourself.
I started writing this so called article to make myself and some people who is going read it till here to know that as humans we 'can' make a change in this world by doing small things and i ‘insist’ to hold on to that atittude which will make an impact by causing waves of awareness to the people starting from you to the ones surronding you. And the wave will go on just like i am a part of the wave who is doing his start by writing an article. You have to be grateful for what you have and thus show my gratitude by thanking ‘you’ for reading this and i hope to make an impact. If i have succeeded in it. YOU CAN TOO !
