Impact of Social Distancing on Social Animal

As it is well known, man is said to be a Social Animal. With the evolution of the world and transition of eras Man has become more and more socially attached to each other. No matter technologies have played a great role in decreasing the distance between people with the help of social media platforms. But nothing can replace the comfort the human brains achieve by having a fellow human right beside him. This was well proved now in this situation of sudden lock down due to COVID-19. 

Somewhere social media stayed a step back in providing the comfort we human felt by expressing our emotions face to face than keeping in touch over social media where we virtually stay in contact. Of course this situation not only distanced humans but also had a huge economical impact. With all these situation going around life has become a roller coaster ride, which many did not enjoy. It is true that these sudden change in lifestyle is affecting the human brain and we are getting drenched emotionally day by day, but we are somewhere underestimating the human race to a great extent. 

Human brain is the most magnificent creation of the Almighty. We can get adapted to a situation very easily and as a matter of proven fact, a routine followed for 23 days becomes a habit. All we have to do is keep our brains positive and provide it with interesting food for thought everyday. Its obviously not a overnight process but with dedicated efforts we can help ourselves, as the famous line goes "God help those who help themselves".  

With all the chaos going around many are climbing down the steps of depression and loneliness. Cases of suicide has taken a significant rise in the past five months. We have lost many great personalities which is of course an irreversible loss. Stress and depression is nothing but our brains playing tricks with us. Being a third person of course we can not judge the situation of the one who is going through it, but we surely can lend them our hand to pull them out of the situation. 

The generation of our fathers would say, "Fixing things is better than throwing it away", which today's generation fails to understand. 

Speak your heart loud is what you need to do. Its okay you can't see them in person. But technological advancement has given us so many windows to talk. Make new best friends. Your diary or your very own mobile phone can be that friend. Write your heart out and release the thoughts. 

Its not the end of the world!! Its just a Pandemic and we can survive this all together by standing up with each other and staying strong. Every night welcomes a bright day. Situations will no doubt be back to normal but what you need is a little hope and alternatives to calm your minds. Not only in this current situation but may it be any scenario , the word HOPE should occur prior to SUICIDE to us. As the famous quote from our favorite Harry Potter series "Happiness can be found , even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light". There's always a switch , just find it and the darkness will fade.

A person going through emotional breakdown would probably not find time to read these articles all over the net. But Friends be alert and pay attention to your near and dear ones . Maybe you can save a life. And also keep yourself healthy and enjoy the roller coaster ride of life.
