'Times of Crisis'

etymology. gets me every time.

'For most of us, life is made up of crises, breakages, separations, and unexpected events which may be good but can sometimes be bad, like illnesses and accidents. Death appears to us throughout life. In Chinese, the word “crisis” implies danger, but also opportunity. In Greek the word implies to need to move forward, to make a choice in order to escape from a situation in which we have become trapped.'

- Jean Vanier, Our Journey Home, p. 160
