During this pandemic, fear kept dominating most of the people.

Then he further asked him why he had asked about the gathering and the people. The officers told that they were randomly taking a test of Coronavirus in that area on that day. So he thought that his team of doctors could do testing of some people. By that time, some people gathered around him and slowly shared his point with others.

        “Be good, Do good and Think good”. In this pandemic, I was at the social worker’s office for some work. When I entered his office, at that time he was talking with a young man for his job. The young man was jobless due to the Covid19 crisis. So the social worker was trying to convince him for startup business of dried grapes on the city road. Even he was ready to invest some finance in it. But the young man didn’t respond to him consciously and meaningfully. At last, the social worker disconnected the call and turned at me.

It is said, “Roti, Kapada or Makaan ( रोटी , कपडा और मकान )” suffices for it. But we people forget these, keep it complicated and invite unnecessary chaos. We also forget that we are blessed with celebration, joy, happiness, pleasure and cheerfulness by God. We take note of these when any festival comes. Otherwise, we waste of these and create a burden of life. We keep tension, jealous, regret and anxiety instead of God’s blessing. Consequently, the moment of life slips out of our hand.

  Be emotional with others is good. But He is always a victim of other’s reaction. Others play a game of football with him. Someone kicks him from one side, and other sends him at another corner. He does not have his own opinion. His condition is like a plank of wood in the sea. The wave takes it on the shore at a time. Next moment, it is dragged by it back in the seawater. So it becomes a victim of others. He becomes helpless and self-pity. He wastes most of his time on regret, repentance and self-blame. He even accepts most of the other’s fault as his own. Further, he is ready to adjust to each one and everything. He tries to show that he wants to care for others. So it is advisable to such person not take any one’s reaction seriously. But he should understand that he needs to detach from it.  Otherwise, he will become a tool of other’s game.
