Once in a while, something comes along to let you know that the world you live in is not yours. You can't control it or predict it. You are left to react to it and adjust to a new schema. So be it. The people living 70,000 years ago endured a decade of winter and darkness when Mount Toba blew its top in the worst volcano eruption in the known history of the Earth. Most humans didn't make it, and the few that lived to share the earth with their posterity lived in a very different place than before.
The people in the Sahara Desert understand about reaction to change. The Sahara was lush 20,000 years ago. Those in the transition from lush to desert knew they would have to adjust to live.
People in Nazi Germany had to make about a 15 year adjustment to a regime that changed the way a government treated the citizens of its nation. Some citizens were favored while others were hunted down and murdered.
So it's not new that in our personal lives, life might just radically take a twist. Bring it on. Survivors adapt to a new environment and learn its new ways.

Wow.
I guess I was in a bit of a defiant mood against life's twists.
