Apocalypse III

Apocalypse III

Like many of us, the thought of this COVID-19/Coronavirus has taken up a lot of time.  

I have thought about Franklin Roosevelt’s comment “All we have to fear is fear itself”.  (Aside - my brain says “FDR” instead of “Franklin Roosevelt”).

I have seen the charts of trying to spread this out over a longer period of time that will make this virus less dangerous.  I see more comments online about washing your hands more and being careful in public.  

Panic is rarely a good decision.  Jumping out of windows (like Black Thursday at the Stock Market Crash

“On what became known as “Black Thursday,” false reports crackled around Wall Street that distraught bankers and investors were leaping out of high-rise windows and plummeting as quickly as the stock market itself.” (source: https://www.history.com/news/stock-market-crash-suicides-wall-street-1929-great-depression)

Fear - depression - negativity - all are similar.

The opposite of fear is confidence (or being ‘fearless’)

The opposite of depression is cheerfulness

The opposite of negativity is optimism

I am going with confidence, cheerfulness, and optimism into the future - and especially into this coronavirus pandemic.  With good sense (avoiding sick people), washing our hands, being careful and being positive, this too will pass!!!

Panic has already hit schools, colleges, universities, airlines, vacation spots, and almost everything else that goes on around us.  I’m going to carry a “torch of hope” to a troubled world.  

This too shall pass my friends!!!  

Hugs, love, positive thoughts, joy, and peace to all of you!!!
