—Ralph Waldo Emerson
A lot of analyses and forecasts have been done on the lingering Covid-19 infection. It is this young century’s most impactful global public health issue. While expert opinions and other scientific researches have been shared, everything seems to be on scientific assessment. It is subject to empirical process requiring a long period of monitored studies/researches. Meantime, life must go on.
A significant consequence of the pandemic is on the person’s mental health. On January 13, the Social Involvement Committee of the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines Foundation sponsored a timely webinar on the topic of Understanding Happiness and Suffering with Dr. Antonio T. Fernando as a resource person. Dr. Fernando is a visiting psychiatrist, academic and former monk based in Auckland, New Zealand.
His talk was very engaging that led those who attended to discern. Among the nuggets of thoughts he shared are what he called “The Five Remembrances”:2. I am subject to ill health. There is no way to avoid illness.4. Everyone and everything that I love will change and I will be separated from them.Dr. Fernando also expounded on “The Eight Worldly Winds:” pleasure and pain; gain and loss; fame and shame; and, praise and blame.
Some 400 attended the webinar via zoom and accessed through the Finex’s Facebook page as of the end of the session’s “Questions & Answers” portion. May I quote noteworthy remarks expressed on the webinar:2. If you knew that you are not happy, just remember what Dr. Fernando told us; that everybody is suffering.“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.”Conchita L.
