Lockdown- A lesson for life: Treat Mother Nature Better!!!

Lockdown, a word that technically means a state of restriction of access taken in as a security measure. But this lockdown provided us a period to indulge oneself in some rational thinking and processing, it required us to take a break from this rapid pace of our lives, where everyone seemed to be a part of an endless race, that’s never going to end!! This break of human race from their regular lifestyle made those reforms in the nature, which were often discussed and debated by a number of learned Environment Activists, Scientists and even a layman on their social media platforms on The World Environment Day every year, back to back but never hit the ground reality.

The Ganga and Yamuna, despite being the sacred rivers remained polluted the entire year but this lockdown phase gave them a new life and as per the recent news they have never be seen this clean in the last many years. Also, since this lockdown, we all have heard a number of positive news like the drastic downfall in the pollution levels of all the metro cities, the lakes and rivers being in their cleanest form and many more. Though we were all confined within the walls of our homes, but deep within we all admit that the last few days were those days when we breathed the freshest air in cities like Delhi, Mumbai and other such major cities of the world, which might have not happened in the last couple of decades.

This lockdown, gave us a break to self-analyze ourselves as a responsible race of what are we giving back to Mother Nature out of the countless favours she has been doing to raise us, to feed us, to feed and nurture our generations; but in return we have constantly kept exploiting those precious resources and never ever actually worked on to preserving them. It’s high time that we realize the potential necessity of what nature provides us before it’s too late.

Nature has the capability to heal itself, all it needs is some time, consideration and empathy of humans towards the planet we live in. Let’s just sit back, think and make a promise to oneself to actually serve and do our best to minimize and control the exploitation of mother Earth. May be this Corona Era is a warning of the upcoming Doomsday, which could possibly be the worst occurring in the history of mankind. Therefore, let each one of us do their bits so that we never ever evident such dark times again.

Think, before you Act!! Don’t wait to regret and remorse again!!! Save Mother Nature, before its too late!!!
