To all of You! Who have been in
traumatized by the situation around globally and who are still finding out and
recovering and praying to global humanity and to a lot many of our brothers and
sisters around the world who are no more with us at this hour!!!
In the recent days of being in
Quarantine and understanding that every day seems to be a fortunate that we
still live, I was having a lot more of observations to accept the situations
around and desperately contemplating when this will change.
I was observing a lot more drama,
happening in and across cities, where many public, hanging around to buy a lot
more of emergency stuffs in need and many who don’t know, are still outside
their homes despite severe information and warnings passed.
I came across this interesting
aspect of a Honest shop, where way back in 2011, while on a visit for a student’s
training program, I was introduced to a concept of honest shop (Nērmaiyāṉa kaṭai/sabase
achchhee dukaan/ satyasandhamāya kaṭa/negozio onesto/boutique honnête)and the
concept is very simple to understand, articles will be displayed and lot more
of confidence in oneself personally he/ she who picks up whatever he buys needs
to drop the money respectively and needs to step out.
I
realized and observed that, this aspect which made to accept honestly as a
greater value and helps to pick only what I needed and not what is not and made
me to accept a perspective of global citizenship to a greater call, and realized
that amidst our global pandemic that’s erupting, why not experiment this concept
which can reduce a lot more of manual laborers in shops and there by helping to
reduce the spread among all.
It
is only by these where we realize that a sense of belonging happens and we
serve for the purpose and not for the benefit of everybody, this is the hour to
express solidarity and maintain common good for the whole of ourself and the
one around.
By
happening like this we help ourselves to earn a greater value and look up to
the society to grow together.
And
humanity expressed gratitude for the common good! Amidst the situation it’s
here where we express what we need and what we want.
If you ever come across such a shop in the future, be happy, we are growing in to a better world, and to my personal belief, all around the world many practise this but this may be a solution for the need of the hour.
Stay Calm, Stay Safe!!
Beat Corona!!
