A lesson in enantiodromia*.........................

 That’s a big, broad takeaway of Covid that repeats itself throughout history: Nothing too good or too bad stays that way forever, because great times plant the seeds of their own destruction through complacency and leverage, and bad times plant the seeds of their own turnaround through opportunity and panic-driven problem-solving. The same story, again and again.

-Morgan Housel, from this blog post

*A theory from Carl Jung that an excess of something gives rise to its opposite.
