If some event occurs that wasn't meant to be, whether bad or good it is our karma. The true path to a happy and healthy life is not just a good diet or meditation. It is more of our life choices. We cannot just blame or complain about the mishaps that happen onto others, like how the whole world decided to shut down a country for the release of a virus. The accountability of the disease is not just one person or the country it is actually we all humans. We have done enough mean and bad things to our Planet and in return, she only supported us with water and food. We forget that we are just a part of the ecosystem and not the entire ecosystem. It is quite sad that even after this pandemic hit us so hard, we still find people not realising that we should save our dear Earth, not just for us but for our future generations. The selfish and greedy...
