Was it time for Mother Earth to take a break?
Is this one of the many ways?
Has she sent a message to all of 8 billion +? Did she not send messages earlier which we did not heed? Or resisted?
Will we learn the lessons?
For those fortunate? 🙏

Everyone thinks that way whenever any disaster happens or something like this happens. But the reality is we haven't learned yet from our past mistakes. We are still cutting trees to build roads, houses. Now a days a single family has multiple homes in order to go with the flow of society and maintain status. Everyone has a dream of having a Lamborghini, isn't i? How many of us have a dream of creating a green world instead ? The way we are going after these things without knowing the consequences of these shows how careless we are about mother nature. There are many things that could be pointed out - flaws of mankind but the sad reality is we didn't learn before and we are not going to learn in future either. We have messed with nature far too much ....and now she has shown us humans that we cannot take her for granted ... The repercussion is there for all to see now... We are fighting an invisible enemy .Hope we humans realise that mother nature provides for all our needs but not our greeds.As for mother earth,I think she has given up. No hope of us listening. We are like typical teenagers who believe parents are outdated and wrong...while we know everything. Overconfidence and arrogance.
COVID-19 stands for Corona Virus Disease 2019. May be the outbreak of this was soon after or along the same time as the Australian Fire - Do we still know the reason of both these? Just like our own Delhi Riots of February 2020. A new outbreak, but predicted in books, movies and was also part of one of the TED talks by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who quit, amidst this. I thought that Corona would force our pseudo national channels to finally seriously focus on public health and not religion. Watching the ‘debates’ playing out this evening on many channels, sorry to report that the communal virus remains intact!! Noise over news sadly!!
Section 153 A of penal code (IPC) deals with the offence of promoting disharmony, enmity or feelings of hatred between different groups on the grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc. and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony. Whoever commits an offence specified in sub-section (1) in any place of worship or in any assembly engaged in the performance of religious worship or religious ceremonies, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to five years and shall also be liable to fine. FIR is launched movement offence is committed. But nothing of this is done to those who instigated this in Delhi. But in Kashmir Kashmir - Sec 107 - on the basis of possibility, people were arrested.Fundamental duties are mentioned in 51 A; it includes (i) to safeguard public property and to abjure violence; but videos show Delhi police breaking camera to hide truth?
If this virus of hatred and riot spreads in the minds of people - you will not be there, nor I - but the virus will remain unlike Corona Virus, which is being curbed and a vaccine under making. Even at this juncture Just two random headlines on the noise channels! अब Corona की मौत मरेगा Pakistan! क्या corona से ज़्यादा ख़तरनाक Shaheen Bag? Virus or no virus, Hate factory is alive and well..
Which industry/commodity has suffered most due to COVID -19? (Though some do encash these tough times as well) - Among other's equally - religion/place of worship.
STOP the politics of division. We are all Human. Learn what Corona is trying to teach - don't distinguish between class, caste, religion or nationality. Shame on those who try to collect donations even at this juncture in the name of one religion for an error in the past choreographed event.
Mother Nature please save us. We are your children . Or was this the answer to earlier call/prayer for peace, after the first virus broke out?
