Life, some say, is ordained; proposed by God, disposed by man. What can someone do but be philosophical in times of extreme hardship and engulfed with a sense of loss? What answer does one have to the unpredictability of nature, it's whims? Is it God's will, His way to test fortitude, His way to instill belief? Bolt from the blue... Stranded in midst of nowhere Searching heaven's mercy.

If the faith is strong, help does comes from heavens. Thanks Goutam for this profound take.

One belief is that nature was created to then be it’s own force.
Some believe that humans may have that same fate.
Faith though, I think makes the negatives of both nature and humanity passable, especially in difficult times.
