Back to basics

Until the end of 2019, we did not attach much importance to the simple act of breathing.
Breath is Life. That is the first thing we do when we are born as well as the last thing we do on the earth. In between the first and last breath is our life. Since the last one year and more, we have only been hearing about people struggling to breathe when struck by Covid 19, because this virus notoriously threatens our very existence by attacking our respiratory system. Some win the battle and some don’t.
Until the end of 2019, we did not attach much importance to the simple act of breathing. It was happening 24/7 and without our even realising it. That is human nature — we take the things that come to us easily for granted. But when that very same thing is endangered, we suddenly value it more than anything else. We are not worried about our house, cars or jewels. We want to simply be alive and for that we need to breathe.
