crisis
Looking more deeply, subtle variations arise when the word crisis is explored linguistically.
In Hebrew, a crisis means something may be damaged or broken and also implies a solution is possible.
The Greek form of the word crisis is neutral, simply referring to the need to make a decision or judgment call.
In Chinese, the word crises has two characters: danger and opportunity.
Often when we are involved with addiction or grief related experiences, it feels like and is a crisis.
However, might there be solutions to soothe pain and suffering?
Do decisions need to be made regarding self-care and next best steps?
Are there opportunities to expand in awareness, healing, and compassion?
“Given that crises are a normal, though certainly unpleasant, part of our lives, if we can become masters of crises then we become masters of ourselves and, in fact, life itself.”
