In the gloomy discourse surrounding the unfolding Coronavirus tragedy, stories of selfless and heroic emergency service providers are inspirational to society at large

Silver Lining In Dark Clouds

The world has been in the crippling throes of an unknown, unseen and still scientifically-unfathomable challenge that has made an utter mockery of the societal and political urgencies that dominated our conscience, just a few months back. From its mysterious genesis in the Chinese city of Wuhan to the spiraling death count in Italy and the escalating crisis in New York – the world is united in grief as unprecedented disaster tears apart our societal mores, administrative norms, and governance styles. Humanity has not known a more devastating leveler that delegitimises its man-made borders, ideologies, religions, affiliations or other ‘divides’, that defined our individuality in a meaningless way. It is only humanity in its collective sense that will either rise to the challenge and save itself, or the hubris of differentiation will sink us inevitably. We must address this Coronavirus responsibly, sensitively and by going the extra mile, for each other and ourselves.
