Quarantined Thoughts

Hey, how's home?
How're you holding up?
How's the quarantine working out for you?

 It's been a while since the global pandemic COVID-19 took its toll and turned the world upside down. We're all forced to stay home for that's our safest bet to fight against this abysmal threat. Nations are in indefinite lockdowns and economies are taking a nosedive, streets are empty, cities are closed, and people are running out of patience.

 On the bright side, nature's blooming once again, animals are back in their revitalized habitats, the atmosphere is cleaner than ever, water is transparent again, and the night sky lights up like Christmas. It's like Earth needed this long due break, and it's finally smiling. 
I think we all should take a moment and appreciate this.

 I hope you're having a good time with your family, maybe that's what we all needed the most.⠀
It'll all be over soon, I promise. We'll get over it together. And the world would be a better place again.⠀
Have faith, take a break, enjoy the spectacular sunrises and the phenomenal sunsets from home.⠀
Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Smile, for it was all part of the plan.

It's all about finding calm in the chaos. Taming the wilderness within.
It's all about acceptance and confrontation. Not fearing catastrophe but the consequences.
It's all about morality and ethics. Not embracing rebellion but the remedy.
It's all about cooperation and synergy. Not indoctrination but the conviction of the cause.

Most of all, it's about tranquility and troth. Patience and peace.
It's not about you or me, it's about us.

Serendipity

Serendipity, a sequential occurrence of events in a blissful way. The euphoric unfolding of episodes which end up making one feel extremely overwhelmed.  Do you look back at your memories?  How often do you cherish them?  Do you feel like living it again?  Do everything in the exact same way you did before just for the sake of reliving what you once had. Or maybe do something different, only to see where it leads you to.  Does the unidirectional flow of time that just seems to be slipping away, bother you? Is time moving a bit too fast for you?  Stop right where you are. Hold on a second. Take a deep breath.  Smile. ☺  Memories are meant to be cherished, not to be lived in. Your past is a part of you, it always will be. But don't forget to embrace the present and anticipate the future. Do not worry about what happened, it all led you here, possibly to the best version of you. It is a basic human instinct to make new memories, but it is a choice to...

Consequential Nihilist

Sometimes, you'll be conflicted with perennial thoughts of nihilism. You'd fee blue and desolated. You'd think there's no meaning to life and that bittersweet notion of existential crisis would start growing up on you. Speculations like these might seem persuasive and convincing enough for you to excuse yourself from your work and render you unproductive. Hypothesizing that everything is meaningless and nothing you do matters would throw you into a loop which culminates your contumelious futility.  At times like these, what you need is NOT to think about how insignificant your subsistence is, but to think about how impactful your being can be. How the course of history could have changed dramatically from a minor tweak in the puny decisions that were taken long ago. How every little detail determines the fate of the entire world altogether. What you need is an introspection of the boundless beauty of the butterfly effect. For you are the ripple in still water that would...
