The elders tell us that safety is in awareness, preparedness and carefulness by avoiding self-harm and as well as the harm to others. As F.S. Hughes puts it "Safety brings first aid to the uninjured."
It has been rightly said by someone that safety results from carefulness that costs us nothing but lack of it could cost you your or someone else's life.
Unknown and invisible enemy - the Novel Coronavirus - has struck humanity. There is no weapon to fight back. The only choice is to stay at home in hiding and learn to be safe and acquire a 'safety behaviour.'
Here are some slogans that are being circulated these days as we are passing through testing times of social distancing and self-responsibility for personal safety as a part the safety for others.
SLOGANS
Social distancing - your choice
Stay home, stay safe
Safety first, so you last
Safety comes first, live safe
Safety first, safety always
Various spiritualists are suggesting that the crisis period mandating 'social distancing as new normal' should be seen as opportunity to seek and strive for the spiritual value of 'solitude.'
Here is a non-poem on solitude to reflect on and acquire it with conscious effort during lockdown period.
NON-POEM ON SOLITUDE
It's time to deep-learn solitude
It's time to get recluse from delusions
It's time of freedom
It's time of inner peace -
The tried and tested safety armour
~*~
It's time to find own company -
The company of the inner self
Uninhabited by thoughts
And be with bliss
That resides in the stillness of mind -
The real place to stay safe
