Yes, very good point about our human nature my brother. How predictable it was and all the many things one might consider as learning opportunities for the inevitable next time will be debated for some time to come.

At the end of day, it is now "water under the bridge" and life goes on. And we will all find out soon enough what the determination is, "high over our heads," as to what will be done about it.

Most thankfully, in the midst of this or any other difficulty, we know our hope is not based upon it nor rest in it @nextgen622. The sun has come up again on a new day and we'll all find out what it holds for us. As ordained from the source of all that is!

Psalm 118:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ephesians 5:20

P.S. Partiko appears to be one of the uhhh ... "casualties" of this war. RIP ...
