The world as we know it is changing shape, and normal life has come to a complete halt. The COVID-19 Pandemic is ravaging across our globe and we are all affected as a species. For the first time in modern human history, we are faced with a crisis that no one can ignore and we can only come out of it, if we all come together as one. As we stare into a horizon that seems far away, our very humanity is in question.
The call for Humanity
The human race has come a long way, from humble beginnings as hunter gatherers to an advanced species venturing into the far reaches of space. No matter how far we have come, one fact has always remained throughout the journey of humanity and that is our unrelenting human spirit. It is our human spirit that has made us to the species we are today. No matter the challenge humans have stood firm, and faced every adversity head on and our human spirit has prevailed. The human spirit is eternal and it is the very essence of our humanity and we need to muster it now more than ever.
We all need to play our part to help curb the spread of this virus. The human species has survived an Ice age , the plague, two world wars , the Spanish flu and many more adversities that threatened our very existence. Humans have made many mistakes and millions have lost their lives in the past because of this ,yet there are so many stories of human spirit that has prevailed through all the tragedy. Humans fought to end slavery , found cures for many diseases and are establishing LGBTQ rights and the list of our accomplishments founded through unwavering human spirit goes on.
Humanity is facing one of its biggest challenges yet, and we have the power to overcome this pandemic as well. Nothing has affected the entire world in such a manner in our known history and as such an unprecedented effort is required for us to fight this. The moment in our history is finally upon us to put our differences aside and come together as one race of humans. The corona virus does not know any boarders , social classes or different races and it can affect any one of us. Now is the time to put aside all out petty differences and come together and work as one to find a way to fight through this pandemic. This is a global crisis and as such it warrants a global response. Doctors , healthcare personnel, first responders, police, military and others are in the front lines battling this virus head on. Yet we must all play our part if we are to overcome this as a species. It is time, to prove to mother nature that we deserve the right to call this earth our home. The human spirit has always prevailed and it will do so once again, but only if we all understand our responsibility as a global citizen and contribute. It’s time to be a hero. Your actions will save lives, that is how important each person is at the moment.
Staying indoors, maintaining social distancing and washing your hands saves lives. So follow these simple measures and save the lives of others. For all the youth , this is the moment to save your elderly. Be responsible and protect them. Their safety is in your hands. Do not let your youthful exuberance and invincible mentality cloud your judgement from reality, and put the lives of your elderly parents and grandparents in danger. Their safety is in your hands.
“The choices made by the young can be the difference between life and death for someone else”, WHO director-General Tedros adhanom Ghebreyesus
The future generation would look back at this critical moment in our history as the pinnacle of the human spirit or as one of the darkest moments of our history. The outcome is in all our hands. So realize that your actions saves lives and our very humanity depends on it. The human race did not weather all the storms of the past to be defeated by a tiny virus. Let this phase be known as the moment that humanity prevailed through its unwavering spirit and came together as one race for the first time in all its history to save our fellow beings and prove to mother earth that we deserve to call this blue planet our home. Let generations speak about the bravery exhibited by all citizens of this planet, and how the turning point of human existence was established through this crisis to build a world of unified identity as one species where your country, race, sexual orientation or religion did not matter, but the fact that we are human was the only fact that mattered. This is the moment where we have the opportunity to change our world to something greater. So lets join hands and do our part and save lives and let us all be heroes.
It’s time to be a hero. Your actions will save lives.
Protect Our home
The Blue Planet in all its glory has been our only home. It has existed for the last four billion years. From the lush rain forests , oceans , mighty revers to the majestic Himalayas, the earth is glorious and beautiful in so many ways. It has witnessed the rise and fall of millions of species and been a home to many more. It is the only home we know . Throughout human existence mother earth has given us air to breathe, water to quench our thirst and nutrients to feed our hunger and through its resources we have developed to the species we are today. Yet humans have turned our backs on mother earth, and have plundered her without restrain in our constant thirst for more. We have forgotten that we are not alone on this planet.
Majestic creatures roam our planet, and all its creatures our vital to maintain the natural balance in our ecosystem. Due to the actions of man we have lost many species and many more are at the brink of extinction. Industrialization has made no exceptions in our world. Mother earth has lost most of its forest cover, and many of its creatures to make way for development as humans call it. The time to act is upon us all. If we do not put a stop to the uncontrolled destruction of our planet, we may not have a planet to call home.
The climate has changed dramatically in the past couple of years. Increased storms , droughts and wild fires have disseminated parts of our world. 2020 began with ravaging fires engulfing parts of Australia and currently the world is on a systematic shut down due to COVID-19. This is probably our last chance to change the course of destruction we are on at the moment. Remember mother nature does not need humans to exist, but we need our planet to survive. It has fed species greater than humans, and it has starved species greater than us. Mother nature does not need us, but we need her. This is our only home and we must understand the significance of that fact. We have taken our planet for granted for far too long, and if we do not change our ways we will not exist for long, and the apocalypse of our end will be upon us before we even realize it. This is our turning point and it has to be. We must all come together and battle through this pandemic and look to a build a new path for us humans, where we take steps to save our forests, oceans and our creatures.
“Mother Nature has fed species greater than humans, and it has starved species greater than us”
The ego of which race or nation is superior, and the Geo political game we are playing must come to and end. We are all one species and now more than ever, it is evident. We all need each other and everyone has to play their part. Each person matters. Young or old , rich or poor we all matter. We all have a right to call earth our home. And we owe it to our ancestors and our future generations to face the battle of our lives. The fight for our humanity. The hero lies within each and every one of you. Fight for all of humanity and save our planet.
