Everything is temporary. At present, the entire world has been seized into a restricted boundary. Lockdown and shutdown have completely squeezed our freedom. Public transportation, high yield communication, globalization, modernization have resulted in futile consequences for our society. Due to technologically advanced movements, we are already committed to residing in a very small world. Virtual and real communication has transformed the largest world into a very closed and intimate community. So, our life is revolving around the virtual world like a computer, tab, cellphone, iPod, social media and for commercial purposes, we rely on flights, trains, buses, cars and many more.

Conveniently, we had forgotten that these things are man-made and transitory. Even we have immunized ourselves with these temporary amenities. Our life has been fallen as prey to the gym, malls, movies, water park, clubs and many more. Not a single day in our life is accomplished without these facilities. We have made our life a mere victim of this luxurious fiasco. The basic core values of life have long been lagged behind and left out. The intricately woven traps of lavish things have created a void everywhere. The waves of modernity have created havoc inside a family. Families are losing their vitality. We touching and use our cellphone 76 times in daily life, according to a survey.

But, we don’t need the same urge to feel the presence of our loved ones in our family compared to our cell phones. This is the sad reality of our present life. We are valuing things more than relationships. The current pandemic situation in which we all are sailing so ferociously and dangerously has taught us a lesson. The threat of life has unveiled the deception in which we all have been floating through several years.

Rich or poor, all are going through the same sense of threats and fear for life. Nothing is stagnant. Everything is temporary. Now is the high time to realize the gravity of the situation to unite towards a larger value of life. Nowadays, humanity is the ideal virtue to cast our human spirit towards society. We should not isolate ourselves from the basic ideologies of life and those are none other than love and compassion for others. At this point in life, we have learned a lesson that negligence, ego, and self-centredness have shown us such a vicious circle of life where we are fighting a battle against unknown enemies. Rather it is a righteous war against the health crises for survival only.

The entire world is swelling towards isolation and desertion. It has happened because of our irresponsible behaviour and careless exploitation of nature. It is high time to review our past deeds and revive a new vision towards the upliftment of ancient culture and traditions. The pain and suffering which we all are witnessing currently witnessing are the reveries of our actions.

Overexploitation and manipulation of technologies are the results of the current illusion and ignorance. So lets us pledge from now on to be alert, aware and conscious about the present issues and crises. Overconfidence in the materialistic pleasure has led us towards assured devastation of the entire community. So, as an aware citizen of our society, we should behave rationally to avoid further destruction of humanity.
