      We’re between things.  It’s an uncomfortable place.

      ... Bottom line: If you are demoralized there’s nothing wrong with
      you.  But there is definitely something wrong with the larger
      situation.

      If you know someone who is demoralized, don’t try to ‘fix’ them by
      helping them fit back into their old lives better.  The problem
      isn’t with their ability to adapt.  The problem is they are
      already adapting to what is coming.  They’re ahead of the curve,
      not behind it.  They just see the new curve before you do.

      With that critical framing for the word demoralization, we can now
      go a bit deeper.  But first, I want to introduce an important term
      relating to demoralization: Zozobra.  It describes a potent
      sensation one might experience during an interregnum, especially
      if demoralization is in play.

      ... The word “zozobra” is an ordinary Spanish term for “anxiety”
      but with connotations that call to mind the wobbling of a ship
      about to capsize.

      ... This feeling of zozobra is commonly experienced by people who
      visit or immigrate to a foreign country: the rhythms of life, the
      way people interact, everything just seems “off” – unfamiliar,
      disorienting and vaguely alienating.

      According to the philosopher Emilio Uranga (1921-1988), the
      telltale sign of zozobra is wobbling and toggling between
      perspectives, being unable to relax into a single framework to
      make sense of things. As Uranga describes it in his 1952 book
      “Analysis of Mexican Being”:

      “Zozobra refers to a mode of being that incessantly oscillates
      between two possibilities, between two affects, without knowing
      which one of those to depend on … indiscriminately dismissing one
      extreme in favor of the other. In this to and fro the soul
      suffers, it feels torn and wounded.”

      ...
