This probably sounds crazy, but sometimes calamity is a cause for relief. It is a stark reminder that we should never be too tied down to any one particular thing. It is sometimes incredible what can be endured. I am content to know despite what has happened, what will happen, and what may possible happen, that I am still currently alive.
It is not for me to say what may happen when I am gone, but at the very least, I can act with accordance to the things in the now that may bring both pleasure or pain.
