This is not an open letter. This is a storm

Here are the basics of a storm.
1. The calm.  There is an electricity in the air. A darkness approaching, eerie quiet, an uneasy feeling.
2. The eye. there is panic, loss of control, chaos, disorientation, despair.
3.The aftermath. Acknowledging survival and evaluating loss. Repair, rebuilding, and in some cases, recognizing irreparable damage and mourning.

I am afraid of a storm, because I have no control over it, and it could kill me.

This is a storm.

On different days, I change between the calm, the eye, and the aftermath. But always in the shadow or the throws of it, and I feel powerless and desperate.

My needs are basic, and no different than any other human. Food, water, shelter. Regardless of the quality of life I maintain through various means, my basic needs never change.

When I evaluate the competence my Government, I start with my basic needs. And then the storm rolls in...
Resources have become commodities, Ministers have become brokers, and basic human needs are secondary to the fueling of an ever-thirsting economy.

Our economy doesn't need to weather the storm . It is the storm.

I feel angry and guilty. Angry because I am a pawn in a corrupt system. And guilty because I let it happen.

So when I wake up, should I put myself in the calm, the eye or the aftermath? What course of action do I take?
