The New World
Story! Story!!
Once upon a World
Time! Time
There was a time... when the world was filled with happy people, who cared about each other,No color difference, shared with each other, looked out for each other and shared in each other’s pain and gain... As the years rolled by, family, neighbors, friends were just mere acquaintances as the world now became wider and bigger so much so you could be talking with a hurting or depressed person but we were too carried away by ourselves and achievements and meeting up with goals and competitions that we no longer saw humans but competitions, enemies .
It became a world where oppression was the currency. If you didn’t have you were nobody and you didn’t matter, a place where one human will loot million meant for a state for personal use, a world where the hearts of men became truly desperately wicked. No feelings for fellow humans. Crime of all kinds ruled and fear was not the real deal. If it wasn’t a terrorist attack, it was a gun being shot at innocent students or death by accidents on bad road because others looted monies meant for the roads. Soon it became kidnapping and ritual killings, countries like Syria being at war for many years.
This was beyond individuals but across Countries and States as every action meant something and we planned retaliations with pride to show our readiness for 3rd World War
Today... with the visit of a virus that’s against every country of the world suddenly have made us forgot the wars, the nuclear weapons, treaties; We have forgotten our short and long term goals, targets and missions and visions, conferences, international programs etc, Now the world is faced with a common enemy and we are all fighting this enemy and I dare say we will win.
This new world where parents can bond with children at home,siblings with each other, spouse with spouse, you open your door and say hi to your neighbour(if you have ever seen them), A new world where people are now picking up their phones to check up on friends and family, reading books, watching recorded movies, forceful relaxation
This new world where we dare to take a breath(hopefully a safe one) from it all for a short while, A world where you eat home made meals or cereal as the case may be...
Not everything about this new world is cool. Yes
We are all loosing money... Economies are struggling, corporations and companies are nose diving, millions and billions are presently out of jobs and many cannot survive this time because their daily source of livelihood has been cut off. Secondly social distancing is taking what’s left in our bonding away...
What then can we do?
This time too shall pass as nations of the world have their scientists working to get a solution and when this happens, let us not forget the lessons we have picked up from it all.
* Let the humane side of us which we did not know was there remain,
*show care and love to those around you and to strangers.
*Spend time with friends and family,
* take time off from time to time for “social distancing “ and rest,
* take hygiene seriously and
* do not magnify material things
We are who we are only by Grace, don’t use the gift from GOD as a weapon against His people
To religious organizations, teach your members the truth and in times like this only the truth in the Word you have taught will keep the people.
Show love to every soul you meet along life’s journey.
This new world + Plenty money = A world to live in happy
