Summary

This quote suggests that panic is a reaction characterized by abandoning reason and logic, and allowing our imagination to take control. When panic sets in, we tend to magnify and embellish our fears, giving way to irrational thoughts and actions. Rather than confronting the source of our fear, we surrender to the enemy of our own imagination, which exacerbates our distress. In essence, this quote serves as a reminder that panicking only serves to intensify our worries and hinder our ability to respond rationally to difficult situations.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
