And it is all part of evolution.

A brush fire is a disaster. Yet, it is part of the evolution of the land. Brush starts getting too thick and it starts choking itself to death. A fire comes through and returns the soil to a more nutritious state so that the plants can come back healthier than they were before the fire.

The flood had to go through. The waters could not run that swift that long. Yes, it is unfortunate, and yes, there may be some casualties. If you planned for the possibility: good for you. You probably survived with minimal impact. If you thought you could just blindly jump into the middle of it without considering the consequences, I have little sympathy for you. You've been washed out to sea and can swim back and start over. But most can just mop up and move on.

We cannot protect a society against itself: it WILL be destructive to itself. Yes, there will be sob stories (I have been one of them). But society (and the economy) will come back stronger and smarter than it was before. And yes, there will be more disasters again in the future - you can plan on it!

There are no get-rich-quick schemes. One gets ahead - be it personally, fiscally, professionally - through hard/intelligent work.

A little saying that I try to live by is:
You get better or worse each day: it's your choice.
What choice have you* made today?
What choice will you make tomorrow?





*And by you, I am not directing this to CP specifically - it applies to the reader, whoever they happen to be.
