Fighting the Pandemic!

The global crisis which has swept the entire universe infecting people and resulting in so many deaths has impacted everyone, if not physically, at least, emotionally for sure. We are all gripped with fear to a larger extent, but the fear is rising to many new levels.  The foremost is definitely to keep us protected from this deadly virus, but at the same time there are so many other things that are standing as a cause to worry.

I call this “fishing in troubled waters”, where many industries and people are making use of this global catastrophe to manipulate news and increase their revenue. The government is constantly warning us not to fall for the lies and plots by so many to make their living better. Can you imagine how inhumanly people can become? When actually it is a time where people are supposed to lend their helping hands to someone in need, they use such opportunities for meeting their selfish demands.

Another area which is a major cause to worry is the Corona virus outbreak is plunging the world economy into its worst downturn since the global financial crisis, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), urging governments and central banks to fight back to avoid an even steeper slump. Domestic markets suffered worst single-day losses as investors turned jittery after World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic, heightening fears of a global recession.

How is one supposed to behave in such perpetual crisis? Do politicians have an answer to such crisis? Ones who were trying to divide the people in the name of religion, minorities, caste and creed, what do they have to say now? Even they are not exempted from being affected. Many are killed in the name of religion. But if you follow the news, even the religious shrines and places are forced to shut down. How are you going to explain this? Why are the religious places under constant tension and conflicts, why there are wars, fighting and ruthless killing? Even the sacred places are not secure, if you notice. Does it tell us something?

In the Bible it says, “Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the spirit of Go lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy and that is what you are.”. God wants to live in our heart, whereas we want to keep God in the external so that we can keep God far away. How could we human beings manufactured by God fight against each other and kill each other? The Bible talks something about end days. It may sound funny but if you follow you will notice the pattern of things happening are culminating to some point. Just hold your peace and trust God, you will be fine. An assurance that is given in the Bible and it says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." May God keep each one of us safe. Remain blessed.
