Temporal resilience to threats and crises is necessary to particular crises and threats. However, it should be scaled from being temporal to a sufficient scale of sustainable resilent. I would agree that overcoming of threats temporarily is just like winning a day's battle in a long drawn war hence do not qualify as resilience. Resilience should cover the entire lifespan of an individual, a generation and societies at large. It involves harnessing and optimizing all our human faculties and capabilities, related social capital and natural capital. It must include ability to predict possible future shortcomings, prescribing solutions and implementing them in time.
