-ANITA CHERIAN

God created man. At birth, a child is so pure, so
beautiful, and immaculate. Slowly –slowly as he
grows changes take place in his/her ways of
thinking, purity of heart, mind, soul. They start

getting contaminated. How much ever we pray,
we can’t change unless and until we bring puri-
fication to our divine soul. What’s happening in
the present world where we are living? It’s the wrath of God.

God despite the many warnings to this world, that came in the form of fam-

ines, earthquakes f loods, tormenting cyclones and so on,..bringing destruc-
tions affecting a part of certain places never could change the lifestyle of
people. We thought it to be just a process of natural calamity
that would come and go.

The boundary of human selfishness has crossed all its limits. Pride
leads to disgrace but with humility comes wisdom. The calculations of gov-
ernments and people’s have turned topsy- turvy. God has punished the

world with a dangerous virus, Covid-19 that has left the whole world to a
standstill.

Human polluted the earth. The “ I ‘’ started becoming more powerful
in everyone. Now this pandemic has made everybody kneel. Very powerful
countries like the USA, Great Britain and others have started to realize
that their arms and ammunitions, scientific excellence, has become null

and void in front of this virus. In a play of Shakespeare, there is a dialogue
“ As f lies to wanton boys, are we to the Gods’’.

This pandemic though has taken so many lives within no time, has on
the contrary gifted the earth with a pollution-free atmosphere. We have
started to love nature. We have started to pay our ears to the beautiful
chirping and singing of birds.

To conclude: This pandemic has taught a great lesson to the whole world,
that “no man is powerful, no country great. It is the creator of this uni-
verse who is the most powerful. He is omnipotent and omnipresent.
Therefore its rightly said ‘Man Proposes God Disposes’
