Volcanoes are dangerous. Nothing new to point out there, except to say these people who wongle about poking into volcanoes to see what they’re doing is beyond me. I know what they’re doing, they are doing what volcanoes do! That being chewing up rocks, and eventually overindulging in consumption, projectile hurl their meal. Destructive dingits they are! As anyone who survived Pompeii.
However, that’s only ONE perspective. There is another perspective that, while agreeing volcanoes are destructive mibbins, they ultimately create as a result. Hmmmmmm….you say? Islands are usually volcanic. The only way the island arrived from the birth canal was when the volcano threw up enough to make it pile up above the surface of the water. Then came the birds and critters who seem to have had seeds in their pockets and dribbled them about, thus plants began to grow.
Here’s my rather tedious point: Out of destruction comes renewal. This applies to us too. We may feel as though our life is beyond repair or beyond any hope of good. Yet it is worth noting that from the ashes rises the Phoenix. It may take time and a LOT of patience. It might take changing friendships; it might even take professional help. But you only get this one turn, make it count!

Your last paragraph was inspirational — thank you for writing / sharing it.
They say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
Rome wasn’t built in a day because we had to wait for the Romans to develop the right concrete.
