When people were going through the unprecedented situation, shut in their or dwellings, isolated cut off from the society, they showed the tendency to reach out and reconnect. But once they slowly started attaining normalcy, again the greed crept in. Even scarcity of drinking water is the result of this greed! Even the creatures pay the price of man's incessant greed. This is not an imaginary situation. We will face nature's fury pretty soon.
