From the mind of critic: “If we’ve already learned the lesson of being grateful for what we have while we have it, and not waiting till it’s gone, are things still taken away? Do lessons keep repeating themselves, until we’ve evolved past simply learning them, and integrated them into our routine to such an extent that their normal? If these lessons keep slapping us in the face, do we ask why us, or do we ask what now? With Harvey, and now Irma, we might be asking why these increasingly powerful storms, are happening with more frequency. The answer lies somwhere between the difference of wondering why, and asking why. When we start asking why, causes begin to emerge. Once we realize that causes are easy to figure out when politics are taken out of the equation, and humanity put in, we’ll see that we learn lessons when we consciously take actions the lessons are illuminating. Learning lessons are the first step, and making them our action plan is the next. Lessons stop smacking us in the face, when we stop letting fear and ignorance fog over our humanity.” 🙂
