I always thought A's were a bad thing. Well I changed my mind. some good can come from an A. It's sad they cause so much pain though.
I still do. They are terribly destuctive to peoples lives. They destroy families, many times lives, and often go untreated in most cases leaving lifetime emotional scars. The lessons learned, good gained, from them could be achieved in other ways.
Once the damage is done however there is no point in dwelling on the errors, and it is far more productive to use it as a springboard for growth, change and improvement.
What the German's did to gather the information on wind chill and hypothermia is atrocious. The end does not justify the means. We do not continue to do these tests over and over and over again with the same results and say it is a good thing.
Shall we all go out and have an affair to see what good may come out of it?
I am sick of hearing how an A is a good thing. Congrats if you can rebuild after the storm knocks down your house, and if you are lucky you will have a nicer, 'better' house afterwards. That is small consolation to losing all the 'valuables' and 'memories' that it contained. These feeling and beliefs existed before my sitch. Now they are doubly so.
