Fairy Tale Spotlight: Stopping a Super Storm

I'm writing this before the hurricane hits, but it won't go out until whatever happens... happens. I am feeling slightly nostalgic over writing this. Last year, roughly around the same time, I wrote two Fairy Tale Spotlights about storms and how they were presented to us in fiction. It was more or less written as a vent because I was not looking forward to what I was going to have to deal with. It was bad too.

But something strange happened during those weeks we went without power. I ended up getting inspired to write Our Divine Comedy. And as strange as this may sound... it was worth it. I don't really regret what happened anymore. I only regret the presence of hurricanes at all.

I personally believe that storms like this are not normal. I really do think they are due to an imbalance brought upon us and sustained by evil forces. Our planet is just not in the best condition. And I'm not talking about rubbish global warming or anything like that. I am talking about evil forces that just want to keep us in check. Keep us cynical.

And besides, we give far too much credit to these storms than we should. We even name them. We give them human names. We talk about their power as if they even had the intelligence to use such power. It's just so stupid.

Hurricanes are the result of, firstly, evil forces who hate us and, secondly, a completely lack of effort in trying to stop them altogether. Stop a hurricane? Why not? This planet was conquered by humans. We went to the moon. We're thinking about Mars next. What can't we do?

Human beings are the cleverest, most industrious, creatures on this planet. We unfortunately hold ourselves back over silly things like fairness and equality. We are so busy making sure everybody is happy that we can't even get anything big done without a massive number of years for everything to get regulated and approved. And then most of the time these new ideas end up dying due to lack of interest anyways.

Not to mention there is a constant stream of words all telling us that certain things are just impossible. To that latter claim, I can only look to the fact that we went to the moon and call that line of thinking rubbish. Nothing is truly impossible. So many things throughout history were called impossible, and nearly all of those things were proven possible later. We can stop a super storm. We can do it in the same way we built civilization, went to the moon, and will eventually go to Mars. May the naysayers who hold us back be damned.

See you on the other side.
