“We are a developed nation, yet when we have snowfall, it all falls apart.” Someone quoted by the BBC in response to the roads being blocked by the snow and cold temperatures.
Why do some people appear so threatened by our civilised life being disprupted by the elements and yet for others it makes them feel alive?
Surely being defeated by the elements reminds us we are only human and not gods.
So why then do we often feel far more alive knowing our humanity and often so lifeless playing god?
