While some of us may have accepted changes to our routine post Covid as a new normal, there are many people who are finding getting out of bed challenging everyday. Now don't be judgemental. More than being overwhelming, the new circumstances at the moment are mostly devoid of human interactions and motivations.
We all don a mask everyday when we step out for mundane yet necessary chores or for a breather walk. While we all want peace of mind but tresspassing somebody's mental state seems normal these days. We are quick to spot a maskless person out of our window in a jiffy and don't refrain from taking pictures. We are seeking out people in big bunch just to point fingers at them and blaming them of not maintaining the social distance.
We have been on the world news and have come across many instances where people have been condoned for not being socially responsible. But haven't we forgotten that Animal is a social animal. We ought to mingle and share joys and sorrows. Suddenly we were thrown in a sea of challenges, some of us skilled to adapt to changes fast whilst some who don't know what to do all alone.
The times are challenging but more challenging are the perspectives and lens with which we meet an eye. We are all feeling lonely and burdened with our own anguish. We all are fighting our own battles everyday. All we could do is show some kindness to each and all. Spare a moment to put yourself in others' shoes and create a gracious community.
Kindness is not about what you do or say, but about who you are. It reflects your values and beliefs and the bigger purpose in life. It brings happiness at both ends. Just a few simple acts could be a beginning but the journey is long and never ending. It is a desire in the heart to reach the other heart with love and compassion, trust and care and working in unity for better. Greeting each other with a smile beaming through eyes alone in a masked face, air hugs, checking on each others' welfare, sharing meals and other resources, touching base with friends and relatives and just listening to their stories are some ways to spread kindness. But more than this, being there for each other is far more significant. And letting people know that you are there for them goes beyond. As we dwell deeper into emotional turbulence in coming times, having a positive mindset and thoughtfulness for others can prove miraculous. Show your true mankind and make graciousness a part of life.
A regular dose of kindness can uplift us and the others.
