COVID 19- opening of the Pandora's box

 It would be no exaggeration if one were to say that the Novel Corona virus which has recently engulfed the world in its clutches is a monster. Dubbing the virus as the opening of the Pandora's box would not be an understatement. According to the Greek mythology The Pandora's box was a vessel that contained all sorts of evils and curses, both known and unknown to humanity.

With the beginning of the year 2020 the world witnessed the greatest pandemic it was to ever to see and posed as a threat to the very existence of mankind. While several theories of the virus being a biological terror weapon to it being the God's curse sent on us are doing rounds, I personally attribute the virus to a very different source.

In the Hindu mythology, when the world entered the fourth Yug or the last phase of evolution, God's and their incarnations went back to their abodes. The demons and the monsters too were asked to do the same but instead they transformed themselves and continued to live on the Earth to spread evil.

While some demons became mosquitoes, some changed themselves into cockroaches and so on. They thus, continued to spread immoralities and influence the nature and behaviour of Humans. It was with the beginning of the new decade they decided to modify their ways and hamper the progress of humans both economically and socially and thus they adapted themselves into this wicked virus.

When a high level meeting of these demons took place they decided to spread their wings and also influence not just a nation but Humanity as a whole and thereby cause the greatest harm they could to God's lovely creation. They came up with an idea to transform themselves into an unknown virus that was not only difficult to detect but also novel as none had heard or read or seen it. They thus, spread around the world in the form of a disease hereto unknown to the human race.

With a heavy heart it would not be wrong to say that they are successfully devouring the human populace and we are as of now unable to cope up with it. The only means through which we can fight back is to take two steps back as the tiger does while attacking its prey. In these difficult times we need to stay strong. We need to stay at home, practice social distancing, washing hands and hope that this dark phase passes away.

No matter how dark the night is, it always ends and the Sun rises strong and bright. Lets fight this together and be there for one another.
