Creation, demolished

Rome wasn't built in a day but Hiroshima was sabotaged in minutes.

It's amazing how one incorrect decision, one lose comment or one moment of insanity can literally demolish what took someone years to prepare and create. We can try our best to avoid that but if that happens, I can only think of Rudyard Kipling saying:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

May we all acquire the strength and attitude needed while enduring the toughest of times.
