Abstract
Following the events that happened on the eve of and during the coronavirus pandemic, in this paper I have tried to shed light on how a newly experienced love for a woman can be a driver of activities in performing regular professional work of archival processing. It actually resulted in my new life milieu, where providing hospitality services, working at a restaurant kitchen etc. led to a number of contacts with people of various professions and beliefs considering their origin and work experience. I have also pointed to numerous negative psychological impacts of the pandemic, which have widely harmed the mental health of people, including that of my formerly dear friends. A short review of my activities is included, such as writing scientific historic-demographic and professional archival works with the aim of professional development, according to lifelong learning principle. Additional motivation came from participating in professional conferences which imply travelling and meeting old acquaintances and colleagues and leaving a kind of quarantine of monotonous everyday life. The ultimate and maybe the most important effect of the symbiosis of love and tasks on myself was the annulment of the fear of death, which forces most people to behave materialistically, fostering mass capitalistic tendencies. In the environment of impaired social relationships, caused by anxiety in behaviour of individuals, I managed to overcome the media-imposed feeling of gloomy prospects, without endangering my livelihood by accepting side jobs as an opportunity for added value and not as self-exploitation. Hence my serenity and the right to ask: What do the virus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease represent on this path of love and cognition!?
