Storms
There are many different types of storms, ranging from mild snow storms to raging hurricanes. But the beauty of the storm remains to the watchful eye. The might and power of storms are a beautiful balance with the wonderful mild or "calm" days. Storms are needed for the balance of nature just as we have day and night.
See, storms help renew life and get rid of old. For example: A palm tree has half of its fronds (the leaves) dead and the other half growing. In order for the tree to continue its survival it must rid itself of the old fronds. Naturally a hurricane might occur and the force of the hurricane would eventually rid the tree of both old and some of the new fronds. (fewer of the new fronds because they are stronger and more durable)
In bad storms, families tend to put aside their differences and help one another. Thus storms also pull people together, unity. The low, bromidic pressure of the storms also bring new life into the world. Trust me I know, I was born in a blizzard. Storms are dangerous just the same as bringing new life into the world but just as beneficial.
As Jedi we must understand that everything happens for a reason. Balance is essential for all life. If we loose balance then we will fall. Nature is a great example and to learn from nature we can learn a lot about ourselves. Remember what may seem ugly and horrible may really be beautiful and helpful.
