How you think and act matter. It is normal to have negative thoughts when confronted with turmoil and tragedy. It is normal to feel sad and depressed at the sight of violence and hatred. And yet normal negative thoughts and feelings perpetrate more negativity. Turn normal on its head by seeing nature’s destruction and mankind’s destructive tendencies as a reflection of nature’s thunderstorms, which eventually pass. What is normal and automatic in reaction may not necessarily be right action in the long run. To arrive at right action, pause and study future outcome. You will eventually know what to do.
