The third arm of the triangle is made of the travails and trials of an ordinary life. The COVID age — for want of a better phrase — that the world is currently passing through, is known to have just as much of an impact on the psy- che and lifestyles of people as the Coronavirus has on the human body. How long can one survive in a bottomless pit of anxiety is a question to which there can be no definitive answers. Even his- tory is silent on this very vital issue of human endurance.
