Current Situation Of Covid-19 In India

"Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue," wrote Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl in his book Man's Search for Meaning.
Read this in a Bbc article about spreading positivity in the indian context. Positivity must ensue and not be thrust upon people amidst tragedy.
1. When there is enough oxygen support beds, people will feel positive.
2. When people don't worry about paying hospital bills for dead relatives or funeral bills, people will feel more positive.
3. When none go to bed hungry because of loss of income, people would feel positive.
4. When there is honesty and transparency from government, people will feel more positive.
5. When there is hope for riding this wave and a strategy for preventing a 3rd wave, we will feel positive.

Until then, it is just plain cruel to see breathless loved ones, bodies dragged by dogs, floating bodies, elected representatives asking people to drink cow urine and force people to feel positive about anything.

 

India is nowhere close to herd immunity, say experts as Covid graph soars

 

@Brevity ..I agree that positivity is from within.

 

When all you want to see is misery and hopelessness......

 

Deleted post.
Got reminded by Anushas post.

 

I agree with you completely but posting/watching same depressing videos give positivity?

@Minion Ji Is it so easy to defeat any leading political party with just posting videos/links in online forums like IL?

 

It is proven that holding on to whatever strength you got is helping fight covid..

People who want to jump in are jumping in to help anyway without waiting for the above list to be excecuted... govt or not. Do you think they havnt seen the vidoes of people dying of lack of oxygen and bodies floating dragged by dogs? Do you think they are a-ok on the govt which made this happen?..They willingly forced positivity upon them and its working.

I am so so greatful that those people are helping elderly (from my and other families)getting their groceries because they are vulnerable while I am sitting in first world helpless (and useless).

Summarising videos in bullet points, really? Yes, its cruel not to acknowlege the pain and the horrible horrible situation but everyone is feeling the pain here..so no one is cruel.Stating USA political facts arnt helping either.. but hey ho!.. go on.

..but I agree to that post...We cant force positivity on those who dont want it... its a choice. Forced anything while they resist isnt worthy.
This thread will go on until 2024. I wish Modi resigns soon and stop the fodder.

 

Most of us have close relatives -- sick and/or dead. We call and chat. We send money home for medicines, hospitals, funerals and post-funeral stability for families who have lost their earner. Some things we can control, some things we cannot control.

In the meantime, it is best to find what floats your boat, and ride.
If you like videos with the same harangue over and over, have at it, and enjoy. If you don't, then skip.
Political leaders are there to be criticized when they mess up in their responsibilities. Some can do it; others see it as a nonstarter.

You find things that appeals to you, intrigues you, and express an opinion if you have the time and feel that it might matter. Sometimes you don't feel the bother:
