In and out of boxes during lock down

It is interesting to note how we tend to live in boxes. Those who longed for family time; those who craved for work from home, those who 'wanted' time to read/cook/try out a hobby/sleep more etc etc. The same people claim they would be happier if these were according to what one wished in smaller doses. The same people who always live at the edge of whichever box they lived in before Corona. If we reflect or observe the people around us, all of us are living it out the same way we lived before Corona. I am talking of the Attitude. That has not changed. The 'worrier', the sorrowful', the pessimist, the realist, the optimist, the joyful, the cynical, the cribber etc all continue to live in the spectrum. The degree would have changed which is natural. We are consistently banging against the sides of the box. If now we can pause; stop the banging and remain in the box savouring the ingredients... I am doing this and enjoying it. What better lesson to be in the here and
