COVID-19 would be remembered for the havoc it caused; however, it also taught us many things. It made the mankind aware of his flexibility. The wall of rigidity created by the systems came down to save the life. The times of virus tested our resilience and adjusting aptitude. It brought changes to our thinking, our lifestyle; the way we work, the way we connect and the way we live.
It was our flexibility to change and accept new ways that helped us to survive. The systems that were able to accommodate the new things faster, suffered less. The most obvious example of this is the work from home culture. If we recall the period not much before the onset of virus, work from home and remote connectivity seemed an impossible thing. But then, overnight the ecosystem became flexible enough to make this a seamless possibility.
It also gave a message of humility. The recall of those times still sends chills in the body. It gave a message of the limits that humans have in the complete natural setting on earth.
It taught us the importance of the relationships in our lives. It treated all of us equal. In the times of the peril, what we missed and also enjoyed most was the connect with our kins. The pain and frustration were shared and reduced by the reassurances and warmth added by the people in our lives. It indicated to us, what our real treasure is.
There are so many things that have changed around us and with those things we also have changed in different ways. We have accommodated our methods in many ways needed for us to survive. Maybe, this is how the civilizations change and history gets created. Some things got evolved and took new shape.
COVID-19 will always be considered a significant change maker for this century.
