Today, we have been passing through this time zone of human history, where deep self-interest, savage competition, xenophobia, and intense power struggle govern our global ethos. The present pandemic is a good opportunity for the entire humanity to collectively introspect and refresh the existing values. We will find that there is a scope for us to work with nature to build a society for the transvaluation of existing values, which are more gentle, holistic, and sustainable.

Everything has fallen apart and we have entered into a dark and deep tunnel without any ray of hope, is a general feeling, which every one of us has developed during this period, owing to the crisis of COVID 19. As if life has taken away everything from everybody’s life. A free trip to grocery shop, evening with friends, going to malls, and doing window shopping and visiting 5-star hotels to pubs have become a distant dream. We’re dying to be back with the same life and feeling a great deal of gratitude for those things which we are missing right now. Whether life will be the same in the near future is a big question in everybody’s mind.

It’s not that simple to answer how and when we will be enjoying the same freedom of doing everything, we had been doing about forty days back. With the life cut down to its foundation and reduced to its basics, we have an opportunity to introspect, what we have built on it. We will find certain things that could and should have been changed earlier because the former status quo was not entirely satisfying.
Shouldn’t we realize that we have been sick for a long time and now we have started regaining the strength through slow healing progress? Previously, of course life was easy, but it was not entirely healthy. All of us wereignorant of self-care and dependent on alcohol or other habits or hobbies to manage this stress emitting out of the fast life. We have been taking all the closest relationships for granted and had left with very little awareness of spiritual care. Independence had been mistaken by strong individualism not realizing how we have taken our absolute freedom over Mother Nature.
There was an effort for a long period by the thinkers, intellectuals and social/ environment activists to get people out of normal mode. But it was not happening. Probably, what’s possible politically is different when a lot of people got into an emergency mode. When they accept fundamentally that there is a danger ahead. That if they want to be safe, they need to do whatever is possible to do. We have seen that this very thought is validated by the response to the coronavirus. Now the challenge is to keep this emergency mode activated about the climatic changes, where the danger is greater and of much more magnitude. We are not going back to normal, because things were not normal.

Crisis shapes history. Whenever a crisis comes to mankind, the reality of the fundamentals gets laid bare. Everything gets clear, who has more, and who has less. Where the power lies. What people save, what they sacrifice. Where they get together, and what they fear. But this is not the end of it. Emergencies and disasters just don’t only reveal the reality, they provide an opportunity for a new normal. We can see a completely new set of possibilities through the hole that has been opened up because of this pandemic COVID 19. That is also true that loss and gain never come alone, they always coexist.
