We all have a different response when we’re in pain. Some of us shrivel up and hide. Some of us strike back at the world, intending to cause the same hurt that was caused to us. And some of us simply ask why. As if in questioning the universe, it will somehow answer back.
It is interesting to note that it is never when life goes well that we ask such questions; “Why is it that I have such a good family, good job, good circle of friends…?” the list goes on and on. We ask ourselves only when we know, inherently, that something in life is not meeting the potential it should be meeting.

Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said that while the rain may have gone, councils were still counting the cost of last month’s severe weather event. This latest update sees every council area along the Queensland and New South Wales border activated for disaster assistance, giving you a real sense of the scale of this event, Minister Littleproud said.
