| Post-Pandemic life and Human Psyche |
It is been almost two years that the world is facing the trauma of a contagious viral disease named Covid-19. The corona has taken many lives, many are still in hospitals, and millions of people suffered and recovered from this pandemic. But the aftermath is continuously going on, and the different variants are still in the global environment. The mutated virus of the corona is still lingering on, and so the world has suffered from losses of lives, the rise of different ailments, infections, economic disasters have taken the world by storms. Many people have lost jobs, running businesses have been shut down, hotels and tourism are badly affected.
The psychology experts were expecting that such a disastrous pandemic that took the whole world by storms within a few days must have changed the human psyche. As everybody faced the issues whether the dissembling of education, business, loss of loved ones suffering the near-death experiences, the phobias and fear. Everything and everybody became untouchable for others. The new world order was to cover half of the faces with masks, to use sanitizers, to avoid handshaking, hugging, the intimacy of every kinds. So, they thought and hypothesized that people would have a different mindset during and after the pandemic spike would be over.
But it is sad to see that the world and human beings, in general, have become more self-centered, selfish, and the ways of sympathy and empathy have not become the way of the world. It is really important to note that brutality has risen in the land of oppressions like in India, Jerusalem, Syria, Myanmar, and many other places. The robberies, corruption, rapes, and victimization have been raised in every part of the world. The most civilized societies of America, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and others are no exception. The violation of laws and rules is so common nowadays. People have lost the merciful nature in a generic sense that every religion teaches for sure. It is sad to see that ethics, values, and humanity have not risen in standards but in fact, worsened.
People and authorities are still afraid of the Covid-19 virus and its mutated virus variants. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen goodness and peace prevailing in any society, the murders and all sorts of white and blue-collar crimes have risen. It proves that people are getting senseless, selfish, and immune to the problems of others. They have forgotten the fear of God Almighty, and what will they answer in the life hereafter. It is sad, disturbing, and in fact, heart-wrenching to see and be a part of the world that is cruel to others, and getting, even more, worst to their fellow human beings in an individual and collective capacity. Have mercy if you want to get mercy from others, and in the eternal life after final death….!!
