Living through the Recent Virus pandemic and having to quarantine shelter in place has changed all our lives in the short term,
and some of our lives forever. This is a history in the making event that has had an impact on nearly every person on this planet. We have all had to rethink our priorities. Some things that used to be important don’t feel as crucial any longer and other things we knew were important, but now we truly understand the depth of that. Write about three ways that your thinking has been altered in the time of quarantine. 500 words
Living in this quarantine has altered my thinking patterns all together. Spending time in the house has granted me the ability to actually sit and observe my surroundings, home, and even the people I live with. The depth of my thinking has changed. Everything is not as shallow as it looks on the surface, it’s just as deep as you allow your mind to go. Theories that I once thought one way about, has changed, and I’m looking at things from a different perspective. For example the ever-going question of “nature over nurture or nurture over nature”. I have started to think of the people that may not have what I am blessed with nurture wise, or blessed environment wise where they live. I’ve put thought to how much both can change a person, their mannerisms, reactions, bionics, and even the way they think. Being a prisoner in my own home has made me notice why people do what they do. Whether it’s for a reaction, to prove themselves, or what ever else the case may be. Nothing is done randomly which led me to my belief in synchronicity, that nothing is coincidence. Being in quarantine has made me really work on my satipatthana. Being mindful of my actions, how just one careless touch of an outside item then to my face can make me sick. So many little things go with out being said and actions taking place subconsciously and being in isolation has made me notice that.
