We have all realised that this pandemic is making so many
changes to the planet as we know it, to the people and the businesses, but do
we deep down know how it is affecting the world and how much it is changing the
way we live and the way we see it?
You’ll be amazed at the changes it has caused.
What COVID-19 has done to the planet
The planet’s lungs can finally breathe.
All the trees have stopped being cut down and used for material.
Most parents are spending more time with their kids, something
they never “found time for”. And we're getting to know our children, better
than ever.
The rich always thought that money brought happiness, and
they were stuck at home like the rest of us, following the same orders.
Stress shook our hearts, stress that no one expected.
And everybody raised their borders.
People stopped travelling. Stopped exploring. It has all
stopped. No one is allowed in or out.
One day, out of nowhere, the world stopped, and suddenly the
world began to breathe again, everybody realised the value of the small things
in life.
Waters became more clearer, clearer than they ever have
been.
Animals started to live in peace, with no one bothering
them, shooting them, or capturing them. They were finally free.
Nature is so incredible that it was cleaning itself.
What has it caused to happen?
People that were distanced from each other finally realised
how much they love each other.
And they stayed home. They stayed home to save the lives of the
ones they loved. They did what the world has told them to do.
They read books.
And they listened to music.
They spoke to their loved ones.
Families are joined again. Finding things to do together. Bonding.
Something that real life always interferes with.
People applauded from their balconies to our true heroes,
the heroes that are helping save lives every day.
Our minds were calmer as we don’t have to rush. Our mind was
finally starting to relax and take things just like it should.
And when everything was about to blow, 5 continents became 1.
We became a global community.
Being scared
Of course, we were scared. Everybody was.
We were scared, scared of the unknown, not knowing how long
it’ll last, scared for the elderly and scared for the children.
What’s important
The things we never thought were important, the little
things that come and go in all our lives, we have now figured out why they were
important.
No one ever realised how calming a hug was, how nice it was to
laugh with friends, how lovely a walk on the beach was…
We took all these for granted.
We are living something unique. The world had stopped, life
had made it stop.
What comes out of this?
We were rich and we didn’t even realise it. Everything
seemed easy to what it is now. And please keep that in mind when it is all
over. Never take anything for granted, you never know when it can all change.
Live life to it's most, because what this has shown us, that
it can change very quickly.
So, tell that person you love them, do that thing you’ve
always wanted to do, just live life.
2020 is teaching us some amazing lessons.
Don’t forget that.
