Corona Exposed Us
Most of us have the habit of expressing with regret that we don't have enough time in our lives to do the things that are most meaningful. And that we have only 24 hours in a day and we spend a bulk of it on work leaving very little quality time for our spouses, children, parents, siblings, our passions (drawing, baking, dancing, sudoku etc).
We happily yearned for those extra hours we could never get.
Until one fine day a city called Wuhan gave humanity the Coronavirus (CV19) for short.
Now we all are forced to stay home. There is no work (professional). Office goers get to work from home. We get to stay home with our family. And we have more time to indulge in our passions.
So then? Have our family lives improved? Are we experiencing the joy and bonding with our close ones? Are we indulging in our passions as we had often said we would "if only we had time and no work pressure"?
I think the answer is no. CV19 has exposed us for the frauds that we are. Tottering marriages, where issues were swept under the carpet, are having the issues unearthed and we have nowhere to hide either the issues or ourselves.
The painting and sudoku and singing that we wanted to indulge in - have we done that? How many of us are thrilled that we have this unexpected vacation?
To quote the heroine in the movie Six Days And Seven Nights, "We've had just about as much vacation as we can tolerate"😀
Much of our "IF ONLY I HAD TIME" is very shallow and lacks content.
