“Twenty – Twenty”, this figure (2020) had always been exciting, thrilling, breath-taking for the ones who loves cricket. Yes, if you are a die heart fan of cricket then you are still refreshing your world cup sixes of Boom boom and surely my words had taken you back in to the memories of those huge houseful grounds.
But why I’m talking about 20-20? The word Twenty-twenty have now become the most horrible and painful for the whole world. Yes, the time has changed. The table had now turned around and the most exciting word has now become the most tragic and unforgettable for all of us. The word which we only used to hear as a sport has now actually played it’s game in the stage of our life. The world will never forget the pain of these double zeros in two thousand and twenty! From the past six months, we are only loosing the lives of our loved ones, we are shattering into pieces but there is no peace. Everyday, the sun rises with the negative news of the positive reports and sets with the news of more and more lockdown, hunger, stress and much more.
We have always heard that LIFE IS NOTHING BUT A SWEET FALSE WHEREAS, DEATH IS NOTHING BUT A BITTER TRUTH, but none of us had ever thought that we will face this and now we are living in the era where we listen thousands of deaths everyday from east to west and from north to south. The situation is same for the developed countries and for the developing countries.
COVID-19 is not only a pandemic situation but also a lifetime lesson for humans all over the world. What basic lessons we should learn by this sudden world closure? There are some common experiences we all surely going through with:
Firstly, we all have to understand that we can’t buy health from money. This is one of the most important lesson the world has to learnt because all our wealth have become useless.
The other most notable one is that who we are? We are only a small and minute creation on Earth and can’t even protect ourselves from the smallest unseen creature of Allah. Allah is the only Creator and He is the only Power. Then another one which is specifically the most important one for our new and advanced cool generation is that no one can ever replace the value of a family. A friend or any other person can never invite us to stay with them as we are not from their family and can be dangerous in this Corona outbreak. That’s indeed a precautionary measure but take a minute and think if our own family, our grand parents, our parents say this to us. No we can not even imagine this, as we are a family. So always keep in mind that family should always be our first priority, if anyone of us are not sincere with our parents then we will never taste the true essence of any relationship.
Lastly, most of the people have realized that life is beautiful with hangouts and without hangouts as well. If we want to be happy then we will be, things and places don’t matter but our thinking matters a lot. In this lockdown, we all have discovered how much talented we are and also wondered that how blessed we are that we can still living our best lives. Some of us have discovered their painting qualities, cooking expertise, writing and singing abilities. Many of us have become such a good photographer but this time selfies are taking with family members not with friends. For the friends, we have found a new way to connect which is a sweet long video calls which needs no makeup just a lot of gossips in a bundle of laughter. This materialistic world is now understanding the values of true happiness which can never buy with branded dresses, heavy makeup, hangouts in big restaurants, but just a free WhatsApp call is also enough to stay in touch with our loved ones.
In the end, just remember that this situation will definitely end one day but all we have to do is to led all those positive habits with us throughout our lives and after this pandemic show each other that we have learnt something and we have changed. Try to value people not things and try to use things not people. This is the simple lesson which will make a mark difference in the world if we all apply this one rule. Stay blessed and stay safe, things will get better soon.
