The Global Pandemic

Life’s challenges do not diminish in intensity or leniency over time; instead, the individual becomes fortified and adaptable in the face of adversity.

Even though it appears to have gone with the wind, it’s devastating effect continues to rear its ugly head.

Contemporary society has witnessed a shift in human inquiry, whereby individuals have increasingly turned their attention to questioning the nature of existence rather than the traditional paradigm of life imbuing purpose and significance to human beings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a phenomenon that has been subjectively encountered by individuals while being collectively experienced on a global scale. The pandemic caused significant disruptions to individuals and societies worldwide, adversely impacting the global economic landscape.

Several prominent nations, including the United States, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, China, and Russia, among others, experienced the effects of the pandemic. Each person has experienced the impacts of this phenomenon in varying degrees. We believe that COVID-19 has become a persistent presence in our society. Even in the event of the pandemic’s cessation, its effects are poised to persist and endure alongside us. According to Robert Jordan’s statement, we must acquire wisdom, as evidenced by his words: “The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.”

What affects society most is not the pandemic itself but how it is managed.

Several unanticipated casualties have been attributed to standard operating procedures (SOPs), with specific safety measures identified as the root cause of such incidents.

While the pandemic took its toll on us, the policies were a tall order.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic has a profound impact on larger nations, it is reasonable to consider the potential ramifications for smaller countries and individuals. The conflict was ultimately won by both major and minor countries, with even the general populace successfully evading the traumatic effect.

Thus, we should look into this million-dollar question: “Should the scourge of COVID-19 trigger ‘own goal’?

If one has not succumbed to the pandemic, it is difficult to comprehend why one would contemplate self-inflicted harm. Does one’s financial leverage hold more excellent value than one’s existence? What about the individuals within your network, including family, friends, and relatives, who have you in high regard and rely upon you for support and guidance?

 To the parents/guardians, despite the formidable obstacles that may lie ahead, the future of these youngsters makes the responsibility inescapable. We must live and take charge of those nature has entrusted to our care. “Resilience,” says Elizabeth Edwards “, is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.”

In the event of relinquishing our efforts, how shall we maintain a sense of resilience amidst the circumstances? The challenges that confront us are readily apparent and require our attention. We must recognize the boundless potential that life offers. It is prudent to prepare to fortify our mental and spiritual fortitude to confront the current Covid-19 crisis and any potential future pandemics, as well as the potential economic devastation that may accompany them.

In the face of adversity, individuals may initially experience cognitive and emotional challenges that may undermine their resilience and predispose them to the potential hazards and hardships associated with the misfortune. We must refrain from utilizing fear as a means to terminate our existence or to decide to end the lives of our own volition.  Let us understand that the human ability to endure hardships is comparable to that of bamboo, as it is considerably more adaptable than one may initially perceive.

Presently, we find ourselves in an era where the desire for practical knowledge and theoretical understanding is paramount.

One potential resolution involves prompt and coordinated efforts from various international organizations to manage the situation effectively. Additionally, educating and reinforcing the significance of self-determination and self-reliance as a prerequisite for adapting to the current paradigm shift is imperative. We must stand tall as a giant among the dwarfs.

There have been instances where individuals have resorted to suicide to cope with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other stressors in life. The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, resulting in a notable increase in cases of suicide and self-harm between the years 2020 and 2022. Our research findings on Global Networks Initiatives indicate a positive correlation between the prevalence of mental health issues and the incidence of suicide and self-harm cases on a global scale.

Maintaining our vision and aspirations is imperative to ensure a brighter future, as there is invariably a glimmer of hope even in the darkest of times.

THINK OF THIS:

Amidst the pandemic, a food delivery agent was asked how he effectively navigated the challenges posed by COVID-19 while maintaining a positive outlook while delivering food items. “I didn’t perceive it as labouring to provide food,” he responded, “but I found myself feeding individuals confined to their residences due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The response elicited a strong emotional reaction due to its unexpected nature. The statement above serves as a testament to the individual’s optimistic outlook and highlights their capacity for visionary thinking and empathetic concern for the well-being of humanity. Stay tuned.
