I once took a survival course from U.S. Air Force personnel that were trained to train people to survive in a plane crash. However, surviving a plane crash far away from the nearest person or town in cold or warm weather with no roads nearby or people nearby is a good metaphor for what mankind faces now.
Do, you know who survives plane crashes in remote places?
THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE AN INTEREST IN SURVIVING!
What do I mean by this?
There are two kinds of people in a plane crash: "There are more than this but just for now let's break it down to two types of people. If you count those who died in the crash there are 3 types of people and this third type of dead people also includes those who are mortally wounded.
But then, there are two types of people after you let go of the dead and the dying who you cannot save because there is no hospital or doctors alive nearby.
So, the two types of people that are left are those who take and interest in their survival
And then the 2nd type of person goes into shock and repeats over and over to themselves things like:
"This is Awful! Why did this happen to me! I can't accept that all these people are dead. I cannot deal with this." And they freak out and soon they likely are among the dead and dying because they didn't take an interest in surviving and instead just freaked out and eventually were gone too along with the dead and the dying.
Who actually survives?
People who look around at all the dead and dying and say: "What can I do to help these people? What can I do to survive myself? What can I do to help us survive this?"
This last group of people often survives whatever comes. Why?
Because they can get beyond the crash and the deaths and the dying enough to help themselves and sometimes other survive. That's Why!
I submit to you that with a president like Trump and with Global Climate changes happening and with governments slowly collapsing worldwide for all sorts of reasons that:
"It's like we are in a plane crash and unless we get into the third group who say things like "What can I do to help these people? What can I do to help myself, my friends and my family? How can we survive this?"
If we aren't asking these basic survival questions right now looking at Trump and Global Climate changes and weather catastrophes worldwide and governments collapsing and people starving, then we aren't personally going to survive all this to begin with.
So, training yourself to take an interest in staying alive both for yourself, your family and your friends is how you and your family and your friends will survive anything that comes.
By God's Grace
