Is 2020 cursed?

Every human, at any point on the earth, is currently in a 'debt'. A debt to nature, maybe by how horrible we humans have proved to nature since few decades! We can say that every nation is constantly facing 'international crisis' in this year, year 2020. Let's see how it went so far in this 6 months!

January 2020

In the month of January this year, we found some clashes and friction between USA and iran. The U.S. and Iran nearly entered into an open conflict on 8 January 2020 when the IRGC launched missile attacks against two Iraqi military bases housing U.S. soldiers in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani, a rare direct Iran–U.S. confrontation and the closest to the brink of war between the two nations in decades. Everyone was feared that what if a world war breaks out as predicted by famous astrologist Nostradamus. Also, it was the month when The World Health Organisation declared the CoViD-19 as a 'Global emergency'. Also, at the end of January Australian forests weren't much normal...

February 2020

World got to know by "Australian Bushfires 2020". Fires rapidly spread across all states to become some of the most devastating on record. An area about the size of South Korea, roughly 25.5 million acres, has burned. At least 33 people are dead, including at least three volunteer firefighters, and more are missing. Around 3,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged. What causes Bushfires? This year a natural weather phenomenon known as the Indian Ocean Dipole has meant a hot, dry spell across the country. The more extreme weather patterns and higher temperatures increase the risk of bushfires and allow them to spread faster and wider. Meanwhile, CoViD-19 started spreading in major countries and slowly everywhere! As of Feb 28, WHO reported nearly nearly 79 thousand corona cases internationally. 

 Schools, Offices, Businesses and every public place was banned. This was just a trailer, the inception!

March 2020 

Nearly every country was locked down and people were frustrated staying at their homes all day and night for a month. Adults were stressed, children were bored and doctors were tired. Till now, hundreds of thousands of corona cases were claimed across the globe. Thousands of lives were at stake on ventilator breathing artificial air fighting between life and death. 

April, May and Now!!

Viral outbreak, cyclones, earthquakes, locust attacks! It seems that we have a lot in our plate! Two disastrous cyclones hit the eastern and western part of India. The Amphan Cyclone hit Bengal and eastern India and was the worst cyclone of this whole century! It killed many peopl, even left thousands homeless! At one end people were told to do social distancing but what if they even don't have homes to live! Due to rapid seasonal changes, insects called locusts have migrated to various habitats from forests eating crops and destroying them! Pakistan had lost its 40 percent of crop cultivation due to locust attacks! Western Countries like USA in the amerian continent are constantly having protests due to communial issues! In this pandemic, amerians are on streets to fight against skin judging and racism.Racism in the United States has existed since the colonial era, when white Americans were given legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights while these same rights were denied to other races and minorities. European Americans—particularly affluent white Anglo-Saxon Protestants—enjoyed exclusive privileges in matters of education, immigration, voting rights, citizenship, land acquisition, and criminal procedure throughout American history. Non-Protestant immigrants from Europe, particularly the Irish, Poles, and Italians, were often subjected to xenophobic exclusion and other forms of ethnicity-based discrimination in American society until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition, groups like Jews and Arabs have faced continuous discrimination in the United States, and as a result, some people who belong to these groups are not identified as white. African Americans faced restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms throughout much of US history.  Billions of Billions of dollars loss in bussiness, millions of adults jobless, hundreds of thousands of people dying with millions infected with the virus!

Everyone afraid..

What can YOU do?

Once upon a time, two monks were meditating on a river. One monk saw a poisonous scorpion drowning in the water. He decided to save the scorpion's life. The other monk disagreed with his decision and started yelling at the first monk calling his act foolish. The monk did not bothered what the other monk said, picked up a leaf, saved the scorpion! The scorpion was over the leaf with his fang on the monk's hand. The other monk was constantly yelling that what you're doing? Are you mad and all things! The monk went out of the river and the scorpion bit the monk's hand. The other monk was now furious, shouting at the first monk to throw that scorpion or else he will bit him again! He did not listened to the monk. The scorpion bit him three times untill he safely dropped it to a decent place! 

The other monk shouted, " Why you are being foolish? You know that the scorpion was poisonous! You could be dead at any moment now"

The first monk calmly replied, " Scorpion, being a poisonous insect with a fang, was doing its best at the time of its insecurity. I, being able to save him, saved him doing MY BEST! So why can't you do your best??"

The answer my friends, may sound simple, but must be the core attitude of any living creature! People at home are constantly cursing the virus! Why? For doing its best?! Are you doing YOUR best at home being at the peak of evolution? Even a primitive creature, the virus could do its best, why can't you? 

I leave the Conclusion of my story and its moral to you readers. 

The more you strive,

The better you survive.

Whatever the situation may come, 

Do not forget the possibilities within.
