CRISES

The measure of a man is seen in times of crisis. A crisis brings out the best or worst in man. A crisis is a threat to your normal mundane life. In your normal life you feel you are in control although this is an illusion of control. In a crisis all your faculties come into action and are tested. Some break down in a crisis because their faculties fail them. They become disoriented and lost. Some go into a altered state of consciousness. Some may even die of shock. A feeling of numbness pervades your being. You have difficulty processing your thoughts. Then after a while your senses slowly become awakened. You begin to become time conscious while before time was suspended. You begin to make sense of what has happened. You take reparative action to stabilise yourself. You have to do it. The structures around you will support you but ultimately you have to cope. Many give up during this process and withdraw. Others will become chronically ill. Yet others will rise up stronger and more determined then ever. The whole process takes time and each individual is different. With God on your side you will be able to face anything at anytime.
