But I never had the experience you had back in You must have been so young! I got married in and life was so different then, but challenging in its own way. Your description of the scene of what you saw back then was so vivid. In my mind's eye, I visualized the intensity of that phenomenal experience. You're a great storyteller of the truth. As I read each word you wrote, I felt like I was on that journey behind you, peering over the rim of the fissure, feeling the rippling fires underground in earths infernos.
How could a sight like that and that feeling ever go away? If seconds counted, I couldn't imagine how everyone would get off that Island alive. As for first responders, they are awesome and great, but they don't have super powers. They are only human and each one puts their life in harms way to save others.
The thought of all this, the lava, the eruptions, and the people who won't leave is all consuming. I am so happy our paths crossed here on ActiveRain. Your life experiences are many and so great, just like you! Endre Barath, Jr. Thank you for all that you add to my creation of blog posts and the entirety of the collection of stories here on ActiveRain. Making sense of senseless decisions is mind blowing. Often, it puts others at risk and 9 times out of 10, it's the one who made the bad decision that cost someone else their life or crippled them for life.
When that happens, tax payer dollars are wasted in court, while others recover from accidents or funerals that never should have occurred in the first place.
Repeat indecisive behavior is exhausting and never makes sense. American roads are overcrowded in major cities. The population explosion is mind blowing. Jaywalking, like making the decision to cross when there are hardly any seconds left is to disparage drivers and the people behind those wheels. I can't think of anyone who likes rules, but following the rules sure helps people and pets to live longer! Patricia, I've always felt the inability to make a decision creates more dilemmas and stress.
I'd be too stressed not to evacuate but, do see why some choose to stay. More risk than I'd be willing to take though. In day to da,y life poor decisions impact everyone - even those who didn't make the poor decision. That can be a vicious cycle and it's not one I understand. Your posts are always so thought provoking and I admire you. Kilauea has certainly gotten the attention of viewers around the world. Many have been challenged to make decisions in a very stressful environment.
Amanda S. Davidson - That is a very poignant and honest answer. Letting go and not knowing what's next is a very frightening experience. I don't think anyone wakes up and says, What risk is in store for me today? There are so many mixed emotions, and certainly critical decisions to be made. Nothing comes sharper into focus than those do or die moments and taking chances is a big, big risk. Decisions have a domino effect and sadly, some don't even think about the consequences their decision make on other people.
But it happens all the time. As you say, the "vicious cycle," is very real. Thank you for sticking with me on AR over the years. It has been great to know you. Your success is something to be admired, largely attributed, no doubt, to the wise decisions you've made over time. Roy Kelley - The closest I got to a burning inferno was being inside more than one burning building and one burning hotel.
Seeing and feeling the burning flames, breathing in the smoke, it's nothing I'd wish on anyone. Teachers may opt to lower the security if they want to allow sharing.

As we can see, the sense of dilemma that deals exclusively with two unpleasant alternatives is powerful enough to have engendered a good deal of descriptive language over the years. They may be facing a situation of much greater complexity. While the first meaning is still the most common, the broadening of dilemma to include this more general sense of "any difficult or perplexing situation or problem," is an example of normal language growth.
The first meaning of dilemma, involving two choices, remains alive and well. But this broader meaning is not only common and acceptable, it is found in multiple examples of educated writing.
