It’s the end of the 2020 year which has been really crucial for all of us. Mankind has faced an unwanted and unpredictable situation this year. We all get united to deal with the bizarre disease COVID. Nature sated that there is no bar of religion, language, country, or skin tone is important rather than Humanity in the whole world. The situation of COVID made all of us on the same level. Does not matter from where you come from or belongs to any rich family., doesn’t matter whether you are a celebrity or middle-class person, doesn’t matter if you are old or young or a kid even, COVID tested the patience of all including animals.

There were a number of discussions were done on this. Eventually, the conclusion that comes out with this is that it is like a natural disaster that has not been predicted. And if it arises, then there has to be some reason.

People on the planet got over ambitious and over addicted to everything that time has created. Everyone was seeking a lifestyle like any celebrity. Even, in this pandemic, celebrities might be had to cook for themselves sometimes. We all were having maids at home, but the situation becomes too harsh and everyone had to seat at home. We all were used to go shopping often, it was creating a mess in the cupboard. We used to go by car and two-wheelers outside, it was generating pollution and crowd.

We used to eat the roadside dishes, pizzas, cold drinks, it was harming our health. We used to spent max time outside the home; we were missing numerous things in the family.

Some were used to purchase expensive cars, bikes, properties, clothes, watches, but they didn’t have a single thread and needle at their home, they were not having gum or stapler in their drawers. People got realized the value of such tiny but huge importance of things at the same time. Because, it’s alright if don’t have any branded garments or watches or cars or bike with you, but you have kept such things whose action is unique and cannot replace it by any other.

The same thing can be applied to relations too. Some relations are like thread and needle, we understand their importance when we are in need and they helped us genuinely and no none could replace them.

The COVID pandemic is the reminder for the remembrance of the reality of being human. We, the people, are human beings, not machines. We must not forget our limitations; rather; I would say, that we should limit our needs and ambitions. Our needs are obviously important and somewhere we extend its limit worthlessly which has to end somewhere.

Let it be, as we are moving on towards 2021, we need to plan our personal and economic life ahead upcoming in the year 2021. Yes, economically. The circumstances were so hard, that many people lost their jobs in between. So, we all have to plan to thrive in our economic condition in 2021.
