Perhaps... Perhaps righteous indignation is not helpful. Perhaps some humility and resolve would be more helpful. Perhaps each and every Texan, myself included, should take personal responsibility for this failure to prepare for the consequences of this foreseeable (and [foreseen](https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/energy/article/Tex...)) disaster, and resolve to prepare both individually and by electing competent governors who won't prioritize corporate profit over resilience.

> A hurricane is an act of God. But failure to prepare, when the necessity for preparation is well known—that’s sin. That’s failure to hit the mark. And the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). The ancient Jews always blamed themselves when things fell apart. They acted as if God’s goodness—the goodness of reality—was axiomatic, and took responsibility for their own failure. That’s insanely responsible. But the alternative is to judge reality as insufficient, to criticize Being itself, and to sink into resentment and the desire for revenge. - 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson
