A warm but not hot weather post 20th April. Bright sunshine.
Lush green grass in nearby park. Some trees with flowers.
Sound of birds chirping.
Cool wind blowing.
Time to enjoy nature and life!
Well here is the twist. We have weekend lockdowns.
Plus with cases kind of exploding in our region, hardly any people are outside.
Most of us are avoiding going out.
The mood is grim. So many cases. More people dying.
I wonder if we have been punished by nature?
Isn't it a punishment that you can see the natural things around, and have pleasant weather but cannot enjoy it?
Are we as the human race already paying for our and our forefathers' sin in destroying habitats after habitats, cutting trees after trees and spewing out poisonous gases and toxins in air, water and land?
"No Time to joy. Time to think".
Sorry folks, but I cannot always feel positive about happenings around me.

Yes that is shocking. Large scale destruction in Amazon- the biggest rainforest in the world which acts as a big carbon sink for the whole earth would be grave for the whole of the earth.

Some might be asking him to take some actions. Yet what can one do beyond that? Send armed forces to make them understand?
A tough call.

It is normal to feel this way. It is the irresponsible people who did this to us 
They only think of money and what they can to explore their intelligence but too much

I know of some people who were even telling others to shun mask and bragging about their immunity.
Yet a lot of them are quiet now.
Plus I wonder why some people insisted on making as well as going to big gatherings?

Yes, now we are even avoiding going out on the weekends.
I went down stairs yesterday to drive my car within the premises.

Frankly I used to get some fun ideas on weekends earlier.
Now, such ideas are not coming to my mind.
May be I can restart writing about cricket matches or some books, just to feel more positive.

Yes even though the bad news is still coming.
More people in our neighborhood have Covid now.

Our COVID numbers are rising in Michigan, to over 800,000 victims of this virus. Deaths, far too many!
Jesus Christ is the truth. We'd be lying to say everything is wonderful, at this time. Natural beauty never leaves, but our attitudes can change in two seconds. Mankind has destroyed many things around us! And I'm speaking positive, this really did happen.

Yes and in a way this habitat and environment destruction is also leading to more diseases - virus etc.
