Listen "Ep 43 Are you worried about natural disasters? Or just prepared?"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome Back to Nuanced Beauty!
TODAY'S EPISODE
As our area prepared for Hurricane Idalia, we were reflecting and came up with this topic: are you a worrier and how do you handle natural disasters? We reflect on our childhood and Bill being in WI, occasionally losing power in the Northwoods, but having a furnace so it being a somewhat peaceful place to get snowed in. And in my upbringing, we had to worry about severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Then fast forward to our years in Seattle, the greatest natural disaster would be an earthquake followed by tsunami. Now, we're in NE Florida and hurricanes are on our radar every season.
People worry differently. So the person who makes a really big deal out of a thing, they're inclined to judge the person who doesn't think it's serious to say "yea, you didn't take this seriously," and then when an accident happens they're inclined to say "I told you so." Then those of us who "don't take it seriously" we have the inclination to be like "why were you so afraid? why can't you just move on, move forward. It wasn't that bad" So we both have these tendencies on our side. What you have is one side saying "I'm smarter than you" and the other side saying "I'm stronger than you" because the people who are worried are saying "I'm smart enough to understand the concern." And the other side saying "i'm strong enough to handle the situation" thus inferring "You're too weak to be like me" and "you're too dumb to be like me"
We then jump into some conversation about working at sea and how mariners take weather pretty seriously because of the hazard. But this leads us to create a checklist, because you are gonna perform to the level you practice. There's some pros/cons to checklists too.
Lastly, we dive into the reactions of people after a storm. Tune in to hear the rest.
