Nature never punishes the evil. Nature punishes the weak because nature does not know morality, nature doesn't know what is right and what is wrong. And storms never choose victim based on morality. It punishes the weakness, not weakness of character, but weakness to adapt, to evolve, to endure it. Reality rewards resilience. Resilience that can we survive the condition which we have, can we survive the circumstances which are given to us, the person who is resilient enough, the person who is aware enough can actually move through their challenges. That is why nature rewards strength and nature will keep on punishing the weak unless and until that weak become strong. Because that is the only way of evolution. That is the only way of growing.

The best way to have helped Palestinians would have been to deny Netanyahu what he wanted most, trump as president. Trump was the key to his plans: expanded war in Iran, Lebanon, and surrounding areas. Now you have Kushner and his partners measuring foundations for their resorts.
Palestinians have become a prop for non-Palestinians to build a personality. There is no actual dedication to ending the holocaust in Gaza, no lives saved by westerners. The martyrs and the struggle are just a backdrop for settlers to gain introspection and to praise celebrities.
Before therapy-speak started to dominate public discourse, we used evocative language like chilled to the marrow, cut to the quick, scarred, haunted, disturbed. Language is now sanitized and mass-marketed, and it’s making us dumber, less able to contextualize human experience.
