For when its over

Well, Congratulations

You’re afraid of the one thing that is certain in life

Ha!! (Not funny)

Seriously?

Are you telling me that in your personal life,

You have never experienced any turbulence that (to an extent) equals

The world’s current predicament

Sure, that was on a personal level

But this is also personal

Isn’t it?

Tell me you would be as much terrified if COVID-19 was still just news to you

That it wasn’t yet in your country

Taking people by surprise

You would be concerned for others but……..

Really?

Panic buying

Lockdown

Nope….

Not this much

I once wrote that ‘life sits on a pendulum of balance

A life springs and a life shrinks’

But now, too many lives are shrinking within a blink of an eye

The world is on its knees

But it will rise again

I am a believer

And Allah tells me in the Holy Quran that He will not burden a soul beyond its capacity

And not once but twice, on a row

He tells me that, there is ease after every hardship

To some extent, everyone across the world is quaking in their boots

Some are just trying to be strong and keep the world going

And I think we should all do same

So, my dear friend, don’t be afraid

For God will not burden us beyond our strength

COVID-19 will be read as history someday

The damage will be done

But the lessons too will be learnt

Strength and courage

Fear kills more than CVID-19 does

Pray and adhere to all preventive measures

There is a God

We will get through this

This too shall pass

And then we will come back to complaining about the usual things.

Peace, life and safety to you all
