THE SILENT RAINS

The rains are mute and deaf, as silent as dumb cows in the pasture. It is only when they make contact with the air and other elements on the ground like rooftops, ponds and creeks and rivers that they roar and become noisy and dangerous. So is with a man. Leave him alone by himself, sans gadgets, sans television, sans radio and he is meek like a lamb. It is only when he integrates with other men that he is either a gentle and kind " god" or a brutal beast.  Blogger's journal of November 7, 2012 after  an early morning  rain showers in Oscariz and after reading Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" as translated by Thomas Cleary.
