Captured Thought: Rain

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day...
It just so happens that as I am writing this blog, I am sitting on my bed and looking out my window at the little, sparkling droplets dripping from each red and yellow leaf on my tree. To me, rainstorms can be some of the most beautiful forms of weather our planet offers. It comes in many variations such as storms or drizzles, and can last for seconds or days. And in the most beautiful of all cases, a brilliant rainbow with all its majestic colors shines through in the end.
But, for some reason, many people do not feel the same way about rain as I do. It is often seen as a nuisance that causes negative emotions such as fatigue or depression. How is it that one thing can cause such polar opposite feelings for different groups of people? On one end, joy and love. On the other, sadness. I guess it all depends on the way you view the situation. You can either choose to see the beauty in God's creation, or let stereotypes of this depressing weather get to you.
