Coronavirus Pandemic Induced Discipline in Humanity

It took a mere virus to get to teach us some of life’s valuable lessons. A disease that knows no boundaries has come to spread across the world in a matter of months. If anything, we could say the universe is trying to punish us. We are all in the process of re-learning what our teachers and counselors managed to instill in our early years. Love, care, kindness, patience, gratitude, the list is endless. We are almost sure at the end of this coronavirus pandemic every living human will have bagged a lesson or two towards life. You would agree with me that despite the hazardous impact the virus has inflicted on various sectors of life, there is also a blessing in disguise. Humanity will be restored. Let me help you see some of the lessons that can help you a great deal during and even after this pandemic.

Lessons humanity has learned from the coronavirus pandemic

#1. Pay attention to the big picture and what truly matters

First and foremost, you need to be aware of what truly matters. Significantly when you are narrowed down to a life and death situation. In case you didn’t know, your life matters. Put your mind at ease with material things. Non-life things and death should be the least of your worries. Instead, focus on the issues that will help facilitate your survival and healthy living.

#2. Focus on necessities

Food, shelter, and clothing. The basic needs of life. Right now, you don’t need all the fancy and expensive things that are trending. Its human nature to satisfy these wants. Even when it comes to foods, but for the time being, purchase what will sustain you. Put a hold on the junks and luxurious foods and lifestyles. Focus on healthier and nutritious foods.

#3. Be open to change

This is a difficult one to take, especially for rigid persons. But, you cannot be all rigid to fail to understand that change is inevitable. Give your life some flexibility. Allow room for growth. If you are a business person, this might be easier for you because the market is not always stable. And as a result, you are more likely to formulate various strategies to change your tactics on the presented market.

#4. Obey the rules, even if you don’t always agree

It is time to let go of the societal saying that “rules are made to be broken.” Sadly, your ignorance might cost you and even your loved ones your life. And they are just simple rules that are easy to follow and adhere to. Remember, obedience is better than sacrifice.

#5. Respect and care for others

We are in it together. And the only way out is fighting the coronavirus pandemic together. Despite our differences in various aspects of life, we need to understand and respect each other. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. It might not be your ideal version or way to do something, but it certainly works for someone else. Let us respect our differences and strive to encourage each other.

Amidst all these challenges that the year has put forward for us as a planet, we can come with some good out of it. The above mentioned are just but a few of them. We can still look forward to a better tomorrow and focus on the positive side of all this.
