Hurricane Irene

People really need to count their blessings.

Hurricane Irene may not have damaged your property, but around the corner maybe wasn’t so lucky. There were plenty of areas flooded, without power, without water, and houses destroyed by trees.

And, you say it was all ‘hype’? Did you really want a tree to smash your car? Why? Did you really want your house wrecked? Why? Did you want to brag about it? Be thankful that your house is intact, your car is safe, and you and your loved ones are unharmed.

People’s lives did end because of this hurricane. Are you still going to say ‘it was nothing!’?

So, my advice to you is this: Before you open up your mouth to say something ignorant and selfish, let it process through your brain; rethink.

Those remarks say a lot about you as a person. If I were you, I’d apologize. Have some courage to stand up and realize this was indeed a tragedy.
