Opportunity Cost

The world is healing, I heard.

The virus has brought the ‘great realisation ‘ that earth’s a beautiful place ‘ – who knew?

Degradation of the environment had to be done for the ‘greater economic good’*

Something had be lost for so much gain. ( such is life you know).

Now we are fighting a battle with a little creep…

but we are ‘discovering’ many things , don’t you see ?

Like – Our families, housework and media addictions

( oh, see the bright side , will ya?)

This forced sabbatical of sorts

has revealed the true nature of things –

It has finally revealed the difference between want and need

Surely that’s a great learning ?

Something gained when much was lost

This nifty little insight – better be worth this Great Cost.

(The grandeur that humans fought for-by giving up their peace, family time, sleep and – almost the planet )

PS: Make it count. Let’s try to make the world ( or at least our neighbourhood) a better place by making lifestyle changes that will positively impact the environment.

PS2: we destroyed earth – but she is bouncing back pretty quickly. But the economy is going to take a long time to recover. Food for thought.

  1. Absolutely. We had forgotten the correct manner to live on this planet. The world was most obnoxiously corrupted, greed and power has brought us to the level where a insignificant virus has crippled us. Hope all will be well and we will awake to a more safe, cleaner and happier world 🌍 . God willing!
