AN OBSTINATE SUPER-SPREADER & A FATAL CONCEALMENT
Those who ignore the experiences of others become forced to endure tribulations worse -Akshay Kaul.
Perusing the write-up entirely will explain the profoundness of these words.
Even as planet battles the highly contagious Covid-19, its progenitor - the novel Coronavirus, insidiously grips the global populace, donning the mantle of being the latest pandemic, leading to countless horrifying events, heart-wrenching narratives, and sordid sagas outpouring from nearly every habitable zone. None more appallingly revolting than this needlessly avoidable episode from South-East Asia.
Despite having influenza-type symptoms, a 61-year-old member of the Shinjeochin religious sect - a secretively fringe Christian group, defied government regulations, refusing admittance in a hospital for undergoing the relevant tests. Meanwhile, the obstinate female impetuously commuting via the local transportation modes not only attends several Church communions but wanders in public places, such as markets and malls.
Consequently, various news and social media platforms deride the deed, anointing the infamous lady as a 'Super-spreader Aunty' with a Cult, whose religious congregations exponentially contaminated the afflicted at least 2000 infirms, whereby becoming the focal point of an investigative scanner initiated by the South Korean authorities, in tandem with, the law enforcement agencies.
Incidentally, post the quietus-causing laxity, a remorseful Lee Man-Hee, the outbreak epicentre Shincheonji Sect's leader, apologetically kneeled and bowed at a news conference. Notwithstanding the tardy conscience-awakening, sadly, an entire nation habituated by its exuberant citizenry, off-late reminisces a graveyard ghost town.
Apparently, shirking passive inertia, the cause and effect law has now swung into a ghastly ripple-effect mode.
Invariably, an erroneous adamance, leading to rigidity towards situational adaptation for ensuring survival, either originating from misconceived invincibility presuppositions, underestimating the lurking peril, lackadaisical approach, self-conceit, or sheer naivety, manifests the wrath of nature in unfathomable ways. Undoubtedly, vanity-filled egotism leading to audacious defiance, which stems from vain narcissism that continuously unheeds rationale, scientific reasoning, and pragmatism, only guarantees a manifestation of ruination.
So, pledge to renounce fallacious beliefs of immortality or infallibility, emanating out of self-absorption. Bear in mind - prudent cautiousness is any day better than being heroically dead. Let's become proactively sagacious by learning from the grave gaffes of the departed, impose self-quarantine wherever necessary, imbue a social distancing demeanour, inculcate handwash hygienes, and utilise this moment for delving within via meditative trances to accentuate our sluggish spiritual evolution. Rather than hanker after the transient outer, keep the awareness inwards to fathom the ecstatic blissfulness awaiting emancipation.
Perhaps, curbing the urge for that single excursion in the outside world might just be the key to cease the rapidly incrementing ruination. Besides, why dash on a pathway needlessly headlonging towards doomsday preponement?
After all, staying alive is exigent for life’s continuance on earth.
