You can't calm the storm

You can't calm the storm, so stop trying. 
What you CAN do is calm yourself. 
The storm will pass.

    The storms can represent the conflicts and strife consuming the activities of mankind. You can do many things to bring tranquility to pacify human conduct. Sacrificing your personal need for calm may bring comfort and relief to those unable to escape their cage of anguish and despair. Mitigation of another's pain may bring you great comfort during these times of great suffering effecting so many innocent beings.
