As a child I was terrified of having my head underwater obviously as I couldn't swim. My father owned an environmental cleanup agency it was inspired by the Exxon Valdez spill that happened in the spring of 89. Marcus would find himself constantly annoyed to the point of illogical rage if he were caught in the rain without a hat or an umbrella because the water drip drip dripping on his head reminded him of this event. If you're not going to stand up to it you're going to be lying down for it. You can do nothing to prevent the fact that these waves are going to beat you constantly throughout your entire life but choose to rise and meet them.
