Of teachers and storms

Storms are teachers and teachers are storms.

Both rage. Both are unpredictable. Both could be destructive but constructive all at the same time. Both carry lessons with them, although often misunderstood, at times hated, even cursed.

But have we, as humans, as learners, asked ourselves? Have we shown appreciation? Have we learned any of the lessons that they carry amid the rage of misunderstandings? In a world filled with self-serving individuals, always looking for self contentment and comfort, we seldom,if not, realize the lessons storms and teachers ought to teach us.

Tomorrow, the storm shall leave and the semester shall end, and the teachers will soon to the ground lay to rest. But have we learned our lesson? Have we realized our mistakes? Have we exerted efforts to change? If we remain stagnant, if the drainage systems and our brains clog continuously, then learning  ceases to exist. Another storm will come, another generation will blame, will curse, will die unlearned, illiterate of nature's lessons; of God's design that we have timelessly tried to alter.


But storms are teachers and teachers are storms. Let's not stop hoping that humans will eventually become learners.
