It’s rare to wish someone else to find themselves in a crisis. And no crisis resembles the other. But there is something about being in a crisis that creates an appreciation of a crisis.

Looking back, among my best memories I will also find moments of crisis. Thinking about these moments, the sense of being clear appears, for some, there also is a sense of an intense togetherness with a team that established a strong bond, for others, there is a sense of determination that appears.

It is as if moments of crisis reinforce bonds and remove any doubts about what my task is and what has to be done.

These feelings disappear once the crisis is over. What appears is a sense of loss. The intensity of the experience, the presence to it, and the direction it provided are gone.

Depending on the richness of the experience in a crisis, life as it is then experienced daily may seem empty, boring, and confusing.

For some, this experience is unbearable, and they find their way back into a new crisis.
