In her book 'Apocalypse,' Lizzie Wade reframes the notion of catastrophe as an opportunity for growth, emphasizing that humanity has faced and survived numerous apocalyptic events throughout history. As modern society grapples with unprecedented challenges—ranging from pandemics to climate crises—Wade encourages readers to learn from the resilience of our ancestors, who endured similar turmoil. By understanding that these crises are not new, we can appreciate the potential for transformation and adaptive change in our own lives and communities.
Cataclysms like climate change, societal collapse, and global pandemics are not uniquely modern problems. Our ancestors experienced apocalypses, and importantly, they survived them all.
The concept of apocalypse can be reframed as a collective loss that leads to growth and improvement, rather than the end of all existence.
