When the term “a perfect storm” is used by an individual, it is said to describe a set of difficult circumstances which have developed and seemingly converged on their life all at one time, creating unavoidable and oftentimes devastating results.
The phrase “I can’t…” is spoken by those who characteristically assess their circumstances with their natural eyes. It is said by those who have compared their physical ability to the need of the moment, and who consider themselves sadly lacking. For within this mode of thinking, man is relying upon his own limitations to determine how he will live his life.
