Challenges of many sorts in the world.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Landslides and flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains have killed nearly 300 people in large swaths of northern India and Pakistan, officials said Sunday.



Five days of incessant rains in Indian-controlled Kashmir have left at least 120 people dead in the region's worst flooding in more than five decades, submerging hundreds of villages and triggering landslides, officials said. In neighboring Pakistan, more than 160 people have died and thousands of homes have collapsed, with an official saying the situation was becoming a "national emergency."

What a Tragedy, I wrote a blog about some challenges I was facing, but they are nothing compared to the devastation these conditions pose.
I still have issues and challenges, but when we look about life as a whole, it can change the perspective of things. It does not mean my issue have gone away.
but It does not preclude me from having great sympathy for the plight of so many when various devastation's strike and destabilize peoples lives in these ways.

I got up this morning, with irritation about the needed dental work that I must arrange and get done, Then I saw this article, I still need the dental work, but in comparison to what these people are facing, maybe my issue is more cosmetic than what these people face.

We have so many places about the world with so many troubles and challenges, maybe if we truly acknowledge the conditions, we may find we have more to be thankful for in our environments and with ourselves, than we actually take time to be thankful for.

but as I look at the pictures, and note how so many people come together to help each other in times of tragedy... yet, when things are going well for so many of us in so many places, we seem to forget how to be compassionate for and about one another. We even sometimes forget how to be understanding and caring. We get hung up in our fantasy of romance wants, but I do wonder, how many can maintain their romance if they were hit with these type of challenges and conditions?

It might be worthy to think about such things, when one lets their fantasy run away with them...

It might be beneficial to know you have developed enough communicating and understanding in your relationships to endure and deal with challenges, if the answer is yes, then those relationships may have a chance... because we never know what nature may brings, regardless of where we live.

How safe do we really feel in the places we live? Do we take for granted many things, for many reasons, and remain unaware of the real potentials of what is possible within the acts of nature?
