Strikes

There are times when I ask myself: why should I be afraid of thunders and storms?
Fear and courage do not make any difference. The lightning will strike wherever it will.

But that's it then, the answer. The uncertainty of it all is a constantly-posed danger. Worse, we've seen and we know what may happen and what have happened before. And how can we un-know anything?

Even as we know the chances they'll hit us, we're still afraid, because the end precedes the warning. The thunder only comes after the lightning had already struck. Too late?
