If you were affected or a relative died because of Coronavirus, feel happy. What? Are you saying that I may feel cheerful because I lost a dear one? Are you celebrating that I was infected by a Chinese virus? Pardon my words. Whether you’ve been sick by COVID-19 and completely recovered, you may feel unbelievably blissed for having tackled such a pandemic situation in your body. By now, you’ll feel much more grateful for every small circumstance of your life. A kiss from your kids, a lick of your dog, a glance at a sunset, or breathing the first morning’s breeze. Every small detail in life surprises you, hence since now, you value every single moment. They’re priceless. Further, if you were able to overcome this terrific illness, it’s because of a powerful reason that you may know sooner or later. On the other hand, if you have lost a very close and dear one, it’s not so tragic if you aren’t selfish. Put on her/his feet, s/he was exiled from her/his body in order to live a better life somewhere. S/he’s starting a new adventure in a different place. S/he will not suffer the body’s worries like hungry, cold, tiredness. There’s nothing else s/he can do in this land anymore. Maybe because s/he already did it. In some cultures, death is a happy celebration because it means a new beginning. I’m not talking about the coffin dance guys. Basically, in a war there are no atheists, thus, there might be something else better afterlife.

We’ve got the choice to take massive action in our benefit from Coronavirus global pandemic. The chance is now clearer than ever. This is the perfect time to improve something in our careers, seek better jobs although global economies are struggling. Learning new skills, connecting relevant people, or starting a new business. Possibilities are really similar to everyone who was nothing to lose. COVID-19 will also defeat those who were inoperative. Moreover, it’s the real chance to return stronger, to say goodbye to obsolete ways of thinking and living. Put it simply, Coronavirus is the pandemic that realizes everyone’s dreams.
