As 2024 comes to an end, take a moment to imagine being born in 1900.
At 14, in 1914, you witness the start of World War I. By the time it ends in 1918, on your 18th birthday, 22 million lives have been lost.
That same year, in 1918, the Spanish Flu begins to sweep the globe. By the time the pandemic ends in 1920, you’re 20 years old, and 50 million lives have been claimed.
At 29, in 1929, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment reaches 25%, and global GDP plummets by 27%. For the next four years, the world teeters on the brink of collapse.
At 39, in 1939, World War II begins.
By the time you’re 41, in 1941, the U.S. enters the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Between your 39th and 45th birthdays, 75 million lives are lost, including six million in the Holocaust.
At 50, in 1950, the Korean War begins, claiming five million lives.
At 62, in 1962, you experience the Cuban Missile Crisis—a moment when the world comes terrifyingly close to nuclear annihilation.
At 64, in 1964, the Vietnam War intensifies. It continues until you’re 75, in 1975, taking four million more lives.
Now think of all those born in 1900. How did they endure such immense hardships? Contrast that with a child born in 1985, who likely thought their 85-year-old grandparent couldn’t understand how tough school was. Yet those grandparents had endured unimaginable trials and survived.
Perspective is a powerful thing. As we close out 2024, let’s reflect on history and remember: no storm lasts forever. This too shall pass.
