In retrospect there were failures enough to go around. There were failures before the storm and failures after the storm.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As more information becomes available, and the magnitude of the storm's impact becomes even more apparent, it becomes clear that this recovery will be lengthy.
Sometimes when you're in the storm, it's harder and maybe when it's over, then you can look back on it.
A perfect storm is in the making: financial uncertainty, economic downturn, government cuts, rising unemployment and a future that looks less clear the more we try to fathom it.
Politically there were failures. And also on the personal level, there were tremendous failures.
Failure doesn't exist. It's only a change of direction.
We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That's why we have the gift of faith.
If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit.
Seeing that our thirst was increasing and the water was killing us, while the storm did not abate, we agreed to trust to God, Our Lord, and rather risk the perils of the sea than wait there for certain death from thirst.
The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
So the storm passed and every one was happy.
