Psychology required to combat corona crisis

Today we will discuss about the "Stockdale Paradox" which will be useful to all of us for fighting in the pandemic situation.This is from the Jim Collin's famous book "Good to Great " in which American Admiral shared his experience in the Vietnam War.In the war situation when all situations were against them,how he fought in that situation and finally survived due to psychology which reffered in the Stockdale Paradox. In his speech he was saying that I had faith in the end of the story.End of the storry will be favourable to me.Solders who had to much optimisn they died.They stopped their struggle when their hope did not met.The disappintment/pain arising due to extreme optimism is called Stockdale Paradox.You have to understand the difference between reality and belief.The oain and suffering currently going on is our reality.We dnt have to run away from them.We have to face them.But you have to believe that in the end things will be in our favour.Have a faith in the end but face the current reality. We all are going through the same situation.We have been fighting for nearly 2 years from corona and fighting seems to be over soon.It will end in diwali or end in september or end in January but it is not ending.There is kind of frustration and despair in all of us.How long will I have to live with the mask,how long will I have to live with corona.How long will this lockdown and local train restrictions last ? Everyone is asking this question almost everyday.We shouldnt think like ostrich and think that all is well.All is not well but all will be well.Everything will be fine in coming time.This belief we have to keep everyday.Right now,we have to fight corona.We have to wear masks,maintain social distance.We have to take vaccine and follow guidelines because COVID is our reality but it is not permanent.This is not the end of the story.The end of the story will be what we want and that is possible.You look at some news,look around yourself,you will get to know that more than 50,000 people participated in concert in Aukland,New Zealand without mask and social distancing.Just like before,this reality can be ours too.Currently we have to fight,follow all the rules and dont be disappointed.This will end very soon.This is not the end.The end will be the way we want it.Like our films,in our life everything goes well till the end.Happy endings and if everything is not right that is not the end.Film is still left my friend.
