Don’t worry, this too will pass

During these difficult times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yet we’ve all experienced challenges in the past where the situation might have appeared hopeless. Nevertheless, many of those challenges did indeed pass.

These include the Holocaust, apartheid, both world wars, the Spanish flu pandemic, the Great Depression, as well as many wars and famines. And, of course, bubonic plague, which wiped out a third of Europe.

“Why worry, there’s always sunshine after rain. There’s always laughter after pain.” (Sang by Dire Straits).

Remember also that the COVID-19 vaccinations are scientifically proven to prevent infections. They should end the pandemic, and lead to economic recovery.
