Tonight it suddenly occurred to me למה עשה השם ככה - Why Hashem brought this fierce storm named "Sandy".
An epiphany of sorts.
Then I quickly took hold of myself and was reminded of an eternal, inestimable, axiomatic truth.
I understand NOTHING of the Divine plan.
NOTHING.
So all of my speculation is baal tashchis on the thoughts and I should use this advanced, incomprehensibly complex device we call "the mind" to figure out things I can understand.
