Quarantined for almost 6 months now and I have become a much better person as I was before. I’m not saying that this growth is from being quarantined nor saying it is a good thing, a lot of people especially those who are really affected in the crisis are having a difficult time being quarantined. Its from how I make use of my time being quarantined. Staying at home, doing chores and self-help activities such as reading books, watching documentaries, seeking for spiritual guidance online etc. and cultivating all those, all the things you’ve learned that was good for you, not forced or fake just pure learning, it make you grow as a person, mentally, physically and spirituality. But all that won’t really help you grow without the reality, the present time itself. Every now and then, I always make time to see, to perceive my thought towards the reality. Blindly cultivating yourself without perceiving what is happening in the present is just the same as not doing anything at all. You are merely deceiving yourself and your mind. Find the balance. See the growth, the changes, the joy and nourish it, See the pain, the reality, the ongoing crisis the whole world is into and accept it. With this, you are being mindful and naturally being better.
