For the first time in my life I witnessed a curfew ​to keep​ each other safe & not to kill under the banner of a​ hypocritical​ cause or some lame patriotic notion. We were united, not divided by a religion, a color or a class, We were united to fight something other than ourselves for the first time.

Before the clash of spoons and plates at in India, earth was able to breathe as she could before “​We”​ happened to her. Instead of car horns she could listen to the songs birds sing for her everyday. I could listen to the songs in a city. Felt like nature mistook us for being extinct and started singing the song of a new beginning.

It would be stupid of me to ask…You know you are going to die right​? The only destination or destiny you were ever born with and the one you have is ​Death.

Be a virus, an asteroid, a nuclear fallout, the end of your time or the end of time itself, you will be gone from the surface of this pale blue dot ultimately. If you ​sti ll​ haven’t made your peace with that I guess now is the time.

At first the thought is frightening but as it grows, you become comfortable with the thought of your departure. You connect with everything that there is, everything made up of you and you made up of everything. We all are bonded with one common material, The only thing that entangles you with every living and nonliving thing is TIME​. Time that’s limited for a rock, the sun, a galaxy or even the universe. A single grain of Rice shares the same building block as your own body. Once you accept you are everything and everything is you, you won’t be scared you will know that you will eventually become something that you were created from.

Take this time to reflect how you want to shape your life, understand that at the time of an apocalypse your savings won’t help but knowledge would. Make a life of value rather than success. Connect with your inner self and train that person to be ready for everything that comes your way. Instead of hoarding the food from supermarkets which you will be running out of eventually, hoard some books in your brains and hoard survival skills. You can help yourself and others too. Learn how to grow your own food, catch a fish or climb a tree.

The time that we are in isn’t a time of disparity it’s the time of self realisation, self evaluation, self reward, not self-ish. Be the one you would like to ​be with​ when you need help getting out of a life and death situation. Trust me it isn’t that hard, from a pack of nomads just a few thousand years ago we ​evolved to​ become something that our ancestors would take us as a different race altogether. We are survivors as a collective of humans. Don’t think as individuals,or a group of something. Think support, think survival. Think as a race.
