Crazy Thoughts
If you make a living because something bad has happened (fireman, social worker for CPS, etc), should you be happy and/or thankful when bad things happen?

Would you rather someone be hurt or die than switch professions if the market is down in your industry?
From Sarah:
"You aren't happy, but you do your job in such a way that is flawless and respectful to that family and community. And if you do it correctly, you will thankful that you were able to take a bad situation and turn it into good in the end by being able to reach out and help someone."
I was curious about your site after you comments on mine, I wanted to see yours because I don't really have any idea why most people have blogs. Yours and the reason you keep it was refreshing compared to mine which is sort of outrage vomit and sort of a downer.
Also I to am a refugee from the golden state, from the north around sacratomato. Plus the craszy thoughts applied, I used to fight forest fires for a living. I made a living cutting down huge trees as they burned. Most of the folks I worked with were pyromanics as was I (am still). But we channeled it towards something socially aceptable. Large desvastating fires is ones of those Phoenix out of the ashes things. The ecology of california demands it, there are 7 species of pine trees that have to be burned before the cones open and release their seed. Interior redwoods have to have the forest floor burn before the seed germinates. So "bad things" are in some cases relative. Maybe stupidity needs to plays it self out before we en masse learn. This country has learned an expensive lesson in terms of lives and damages that development that degrades the coastline means less protection for that devlopment. Bad things happening are almost always instructive.
