Crash.

A crash seems to be that which comes to a head at the end of motion. Extrapolate that by an infinite number of factors causing different degrees of contrary motion, then it is a matter of not if but when situations collide or crash. So then, how does one respond to a crash? There does not seem to be a universal right answer to this, but a subjective one that must be governed by reason. There is a rational checklist one can do to find out very quickly if what one is undergoing is an accidental change or permanently substantial one: Can I see? Can I feel? Can I hear? Can I smell? Can I taste? More importantly than these, can I think? If the answer is yes to the rational faculty and any number of the other senses, then there is no reason to panic over any crash.

For if these faculties remain, then the capacity to serve still exists, then it’s just a matter of gathering up the fortitude to execute the will to accept the crash, and move forward from it. There is no need to fall into despair, or end one’s life over a crash, to do so is utterly foolish and irrational. For there was never anything one could have done to avoid it, if while in motion, was on a collision course with you. Now my assumed definition of the term crash could take on two different meanings, and the principle checklist remains universally the same. We could be talking about a car crash, or an economic crash. Either way, take two, check your senses and your consciousness, if all these remain, then thank God for that, and pivot.
