Today’s “Word of the Day” is “chimera“ and it is a noun and its meaning is “illusion, fantasy, delusion, dream, daydream/ pipe dream, fancy, unreality“.
Example Sentence: One of the shocks of the pandemic has been that while on the one hand we are one-click ordering more than ever before, we have been forced to learn to wait. Waiting is difficult. It can also be an opportunity. For perhaps that’s one of the things we’ve learned – that, for all its deep stresses and griefs, a forced indeterminacy can focus the mind on the present, and the quality of that present. That it is necessary to celebrate now (go for a walk, watch the flowers grow, call a friend) rather than waiting for an uncertain future, and the chimera of normality.
