Every high has a low.
Every effort has a consequence.
Everything that is built will disassemble.
All that is created will see it's end.
Destroyed to create something new.

I read today that the salt we use to "de-ice" a road eventually ends up in rivers, lakes, and the water table. This in turn threatens the living things that live there.

This should not surprise us!

Like piling sand on a great scale,
what happens to us here happens to us there.

So often, one excess is met with another excess.
This is confusion.
