WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG, Papa used to tell me that words fly on wild winds from the mouths of sly people. When the winds pick up, he said, sand blows into your ears and bites your eyes. Storms build overhead like a lake with a spout, but you can’t see or hear. Only when you are safely sheltered, Papa said, can you tell which way the wind is blowing. Only from the calm, he said, can you see how to protect yourself from trouble. Lawrence Hill
About This Quote

This quote is very important to understand. It is important to know what the world has come to because of the slogans they use everyday. The words are like the wind which is very powerful and can make you blind. The reason why you can’t see anything now is because there is no calmness in your life.

There isn’t any security in your life, and they don’t tell you that you need security in your life. It is like a lake with a spout that builds up like a storm, but you can’t hear or see it. The only time you can see it is when you are sheltered from it, so if you have security in your life, then you will be protected from trouble.
