In two weeks, we have gone from concern to a pandemic. A friend of mine noticed how closely the words “pandemic” and “pandemonium” are related.
Certainly, the news and behavior of individuals has mirrored that latter term. We don’t know how long things will last. Personally, I have found comfort in the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his 1933 inaugural address:
“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is … fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”
President Roosevelt spoke those words 87 years ago, but they still resonate today. You should read the rest of the speech. The times and his speech hold true.
