PART: TEN
“ Lock – Down “ is a difficult big experience for any person . As this situation has arisen for the first time in front of people living presently . Calamities do come up but every such situation remains different from any other.
The present calamity of Corona Virus is unique one , during which a complete “ Lock – Down “ is being observed through out the world . Every activity is seized while people are confined to their respective places of residence . As this virus spreads through personal contacts , one has to avoid touching any other and to remain a little away from entire world . Doing this , our Country seems successful as compared to the other countries of the world .
Every one is observing Social Distancing, and almost entire world is under “ Lock – Down “,
All are sincerely bent upon to safeguard their respective countrymen from an invisible foe.
Activities are standstill , people stay in , crowds not , roads so calm and production down ,
“ Life is more precious than everything “ is the motto , which is prevailing , and letting all go .
Will People Quit Some Habits like Smoking , Using Tobacco and Drinking Alcohol ?
During this all time new period called “ Lock – Down “ bring some positive changes in habits of human beings all over the world ? Presently everything is closed and almost everyone is living with only those things which are available . The things without whom, life ever seemed impossible were also not available and every one lived with availables only . This is a big period , which everyone lived without those desired things . The things or consumables which were ever considered as essentials for life , were not available and we lived without them , for this much time .
Things , usables , so called essentials , habit related things , and those we depended on ,
Are not available during mass closure , be they of any level necessity , and we lived deprived .
Can this scarce situation continue , which forced us to live without our so called lust – ion ?
And make us live our respective live , simply without those wants , to run pure plain un rived .
Those habitual of using Tobacco , smoking or Alcohol or few or all of these , were deprived of these . As they lived without these for such a long period , now , when situation relaxes or becomes normal and everything becomes freely available as usual, some or more of the persons who were habitual of these, may adapt themselves and continue with the situation as that of today that is , “ Not To Use These “.
This may bring a situation when some or more persons willingly intend to quit these habits . Some may leave one , others may discard two and few might even quit all such habits .
Use of tobacco , or any of it’s products , and drinking of alcohol , are there as usual habits,
Present Closure of everything led to a situation, where none could get or use any of these.
Even when everything becomes normal , and people will be free to get all their liking’s bite ,
There will be some initial habituals , who may prefer to quit habits , for their core’s appease .
I become too optimistic sometimes when my thinking goes up to a percentage of users of such things, who will prefer to quit these habits for ever . Just imagine , even if less , but there will be a change in the society regarding reduction in the number of users of tobacco and alcohol etc. This very society , these very persons and these very lusts will be changed positively forever . This positivity we can visualize because of this, “ Lock -Down “ itself .
Some thinkers and writers are optimistic that many habitual users of tobacco and alcohol,
Will opt out from it , and there will be a notable reduction in the number of such consumers ?
Should we continue with our imagination that calamities do leave some positive prints’ loll ?
Or , really this hazard is here to shake our society , to make them realize truth in bummers ?
Will It Bring Some Material Changes in Mental diseases like Depression Agony Etc
People are living in their respective houses , with their small or big families, stranded alone or with one or two persons somewhere or living in any other condition . But there is a difference, movement is restricted or prohibited . Even social distancing is very much in practice . In these circumstances , every one thinks differently . These variations in the nature of thinking may bring some vital changes in the minds and their perceptions .
Does this “ Lock – Down “ have only a physical restriction , or it overlaps one’s thinking , as well ?
“ Social – Distancing “ just keeps our bodies apart ? or it has got some other implications, on us , too ?
Will these forced separations of social beings germinate some constructive saplings for all to tell ?
Or some future seeing insights are on the way , to bring a few essential parameters for them to woo ?
Some where it may be a minor change , in others it may be a little more but in other few cases it may reach a situation of a major change.These changes may be considered as life long or for a shorter period . Even then these changes are vital for them and also for the society as a whole . Changes in the personas , changes in the likes and dislikes of people , those in the vital attitudes and parameters of gentry and so also the changes in the overall perspectives of the society , are all very important even if their quantum and percentage is less .
Every change has got positive and negative aspects pertaining to the individuals and the society,
Even a small positivity is significant , and so also it’s opposite is equally meaningful , for them all .
Long lasting changes are having more impact and those with small span , do have their own gaiety,
Just imagine , even if a little improvement with positivity we get , will be a boon for entire fall .
There might be some Mental Diseases of various types prevailing in various brains and minds . These might be affected by these prevailing situations of Lock – Down and Social Distancing . Every effect is neither similar nor uniform . Some changes may be less or more , others may be positive or negative , some changes might be for a short duration , others for life long . We must be concerned about all such changes because in days to come , we all will be subjected to these changes , this way or that . Rather we will be forced to deal with them . Every change will be different in which some may be very positive and pleasing as well .
Changes in our psychological status , due to any reason , is also significant , yes , important ,
The present imposition of distancing and closure is causing too much on the beings’ standing.
Mental ailments , if cured or improved a bit , due to any reason , will be a valid cause to chant ,
While degradations in our social or personal parameters , will never be welcome , any landing .
Just suppose , a mental disease was there , and it got cured or reduced . That will be very welcome . Someone who is having some agony , anyone can be of the category . Agony , though it is not any disease even then it has got it’s impact on people which is in no way less than a disease . Everyone is subjected to the present compulsion called lock – down , and many of us are feeling restrictions as imposition of self confinement into their respective homes . Be that as it may , still most of the people are feeling these restrictions as troublesome . Even then , there is no way out . We have to live like this to live in this world . There is no cure for this disease till now , and these restrictions are the only way .
Living away from our own society , keeping distance from our owns , how we perceive ?
Everyone is away , even though living nearby , has never been a practice , we all know .
It ought to be having it’s impact on each and every being , what they give and receive ?
Restrictions are always troublesome, be they of any kind, if for long extent they have to go .
This may cause another agony. In many such cases the situation might reach up to the level of depression. In all such cases the changes may be positive or negative . While every positive change will be good for the person concerned and for the society as a whole , the negative changes might cause troubles there in. Everyone along with all concerned are bound to face the situation so arisen and are there to continue within those limitations. Be they causing worries to them and all for that period , even then they are supposed to be beneficial in the long run . Every positive change in any life , is always a welcome aspect .
Distress , anguish , pain and dejections all seem to be small in their quantum and impact,
Even then they can lead to gloominess in the thinking process , from positive to negative .
This dark night in the name of various restrictions , is sure to dawn up in future , exact ,
Will bring everything good for the mankind ,which will become our being’s welcome native .
Will This World Bring Some Positive Changes By Adapting Against Posing Problems ?
Even though this situation has been imposed on us and we are forced or bound to deal with it, we are becoming able to successfully fight and win over such calamities. This forced battle of time and situation is making us competent to concur any such problems in future . If a bad phase makes us strong enough to live with , cope with and deal with other such perils , if they come across in days to come , it will be a welcome positive change .
Every problem , be it of any magnitude , will end one day , and leave behind it’s impacts,
And scars on the beings of the sufferers and on those who will be there in days to come .
People who fight with the calamities and win, become our role models for future acts ,
When we come out stronger , winning terrible phase, it is positive aspect that too welcome .
Positive changes in our beings , which might get generated just by fighting this present exposure , will really prove to be a blessing in disguise . Just through a person in sea , he will either drown into or will learn swimming . In this case we feel that we are taking a big risk too . But when this situation is already imposed on us , we have no choice but to be there in the fray . When this imposed situation is making us extra persuasive for our days to come , it will be welcome . An adaptation we can call it .
If our fights with the calamities , make us tougher , which is really a blessing fruit of perils ,
Every terrible phase makes us courageous to fight it , and improves us for other such futures .
Bigger risks are involved in unknown disasters , even then , there no options but to face grills,
We adapt ourselves , to face all that is supposed in life ways ,accompanied with all neuters.
Nature is tolerating each and every activity of this world , even not saying or complaining it any how . We are supposed to rather forced to put up with each and every deed of this nature , silently . We are ever busy playing with the nature , unbothered even to think about it . Our each and every deed is is irking this nature , this way or that . Just imagine for one small phase of time , did we not hurt it , any how ? We are supposed to be friendly with the nature with all parameters . Our every activity should be accompanied with a thinking about well being and happiness of nature .
Unknowingly, compulsorily or even deliberately , The World is ever troubling Environment ,
Water is being infected, rivers dirty , air polluted , unhygienic ,Just by it’s regular activities .
Trees are being destroyed ruthlessly ,Earth is brutally dug , tank lake dying earlier to meant ,
We are disturbing our gracious nature so cruelly that we unworthy to receive any of it’s pities.
