There are many myths floating around the world and corona came as a myth buster, debunking one after another. Corona has made us think in a different manner. Pre-corona there were certain practices that people followed as if those were necessary, but now, things are going on without those practices too.
- People never thought that an online classroom will ever replace an offline classroom, but today we see it becoming a reality.
- There were certain customary religious practices that we thought can never be avoided but again corona has put a ban on those practices or religious functions.
- Work from home (WFM) was never considered as a full-time or permanent job profile but today maximum jobs are asking you to work from remote locations.
- Earlier, face to face person meetings were considered mandatory, but today meeting is getting done on zoom calls.
These are just a few examples, there are still many more myths in circulation that we might be following considering it as a necessity. Since childhood, we have made to believe certain things as universal truths and we never question their authenticity. Most of us accept reality as it is, there are very few who questions it. But if we want to bend the reality we need to question the reality. The rigid mindset will never allow us to think beyond the reality that we see on the surface.
If we still aren't flexible in our approach, it would be difficult for us to face the new realities of the future. Corona has given us a different perspective to look at things. There are multiple ways a task can be done but we tend to stick to one.
Events like corona have opened our eyes.
From the moment we are born, paradigms are imposed on us that become chains that we do not break because we believe we cannot, like Jorge Bucay's philosophical tale of the chained circus elephant who, when he was small, could not free himself and now that he is grown up he does not know that he can. Breaking with these lying truths is difficult because they are sown so deeply, but the pandemic has managed to unmask many of them.
