The whole world is under threat of the coronavirus. The virus has reached the best of nations, to the most advanced of all the advanceds. But have we thought of any positive effect of this pandemic? Probably most will answer no. I will talk about one particular positive effect of the pandemic.
The virus has spread a disease, the disease has caused a lockdown, and the lockdown has given us a long time with our family, at our home.
In my country, Bangladesh, the people live outside their hometown fall into either of these groups:
- Students studying in colleges or universities,
- Workers of industries and garments,
- Employees of public and private organizations,
- Other people working outside their homes
Among all these people, the people of groups 1,2 & 4 are most likely enjoying their time at home. The reason behind this is that they usually stay out of their home for their jobs or education, often leaving all their family members at home. In this lockdown, the time they are spending with their family is really a blessing, as it's impossible to think of spending such a long time at home without work in a non-pandemic situation. However, some families are going through a crisis because of poverty caused by the lockdown. But enjoying the poverty together with the family is not bad as compared to facing poverty when separated.
With our so-called "Extra Modern" and "Extra Busy Life", people are being more disinclined to their families. This lockdown is a chance for every one of us to strengthen our family bonds.
I won't describe the importance of family here. If you want to understand the importance of family life, look at a person without a family; you will be sorry.
So, I address every one of you, let's be more caring and loving to our family.
Enjoy your sweet family and sweet home, and stay alert.
