people staying at home.  reading books.                  writing books.                 creating poems.               listening attentively.         resting.                                   doing exercises.                 making art.                          turning artists.                   playing indoors.                    caring family.                       caring elderlies.                 learning new ways of being human and being.           stopping, regulating, listening again.                                     some meditating.                Some praying.                      some finally finding their limit and shadow.                      thinking for others.         thinking of others.             human thinking.               thinking differently.            people healing themselves.  watching others thankfully getting healed.                            in the absence of those people who lived ignorant.              earlier they were dangerous, meaningless and so heartless.  earth evolving different ways of healing.                                   when the scourge ended.  people have evolved themselves.                              they found themselves.         they found others.                  they grieved for sufferings and death.                                         and made new choices.       some close to nature.   dreamed of new visions for self and others.                          started caring for others.  created new manners of living.  nature completely healed the humans.                                 made all beings equals.          just everyone found themselves healed.          scourge was bad.                   
but wasn't the lesson so good?
