COVID- 19 is a crucible experience for the current generation and it is a good lesson for future generations as well. This pandemic has given an opportunity for everyone to introspect and connect with oneself. Though a number of negative impacts are discussed about the lockdown and social distancing, I feel it brought many opportunities and positives to our life and personality.
Soon after the history online lesson, my daughter came to me to discuss the advantages of the first world war on medicine. In 8th grade, they are studying health and medicine under the concept of systems. Their Teacher gave a self-directed learning task in which she posted a question Was world war first is good for medicine? The teacher sent a documentary to watch and make points for the next class. I felt one of the apt topics to be discussed during this enforced social distance.
She gave me a list of advantages of the world war on The health care and medical systems, This gives us reassurance, that even for the most devastating incidents in human history there are always key takeaways that must be appreciated.
Due to the negative perception of COVID-19 people are facing many challenges and this pandemic is affecting each one of us. From leading business to corporate, schools to families all are facing one or other issues as we all aware of it.
People, social media, prediction agencies are spreading news and several studies that claims the negative impact of COVID-19 which obviously affecting normal life and the mental health of the people.
Schools are shut, working from home, updating on new technology, starting a new schedule in life has created certain imbalances to the regular lifestyle.
For this generation Corona is a crucible experience, history reminds us that crucible experiences had led to the rise of several opportunities and innovation.
Similarly, this pandemic will give rise to new perspectives in work, relationship, and attitude of people.
There are several discussions on how this lockdown is affecting the relationship between couples and children. I would say lockdown made the relationship stronger. There is a simple reason for this, people are becoming less self-centered and more considerate they have a shared perception for a common goal, and such group dynamics leading collective cohesiveness. As uncertainty tear us apart the bond between people is becoming stronger.
Due to the anxiety, stress, insecurity, and worry from COVID-19, I think it has brought a relationship closer and stronger than before. This proximity brought a bond between partners, family, and children. There could be exceptions although the majority would have made it a little better than before. Due to the slow phase of life, family members are spending time together. Each member is getting time to rediscover themselves. As it is said isolation leads to reconnecting with oneself.
This enforced social distance has helped the family members to get time to do the house chores as there is no maid, no helper so all the household matters need to be looked after by themselves making them more interdependent which brings the relationships closer and stronger. Each one is connecting with their distant relatives having a video call and chat which again helps one to build a strong bond as communication is the sole of strengthens the relationship.
Therefore this crucible experience has brought our relationship a bit more closure and people are becoming more altruistic. Life throws challenges it is we who decide to take it the way we want it. Madhusoodana. Sunnambala 
This is such a wonderful post, full of positivity in these difficult times, we need more reading like this. Pressing times definitely bring the best in us, and necessity is the mother of invention. This is a different kind of war we are fighting, like the two global wars, there was an acute shortage of healthcare workers and a lot of untrained volunteers had to recruited. I hope we learn some lesson from history and more of our students come in forefront to take up this novel profession. Look forward to more such reads!! :D
