NEWS PHOTO: Man versus Sea?

This young man wanders on the shores of Mero Beach on Tuesday as rough waves – from the effects of Hurricane Earl – crash around him. The hurricane did not threaten Dominica; it caused some damage in northern islands such as Anguilla, St. Maarten/St.Martin, Antigua & Barbuda and the British Virgin Islands.

    LOL After reading the comments, I had to chuckle, I don’t see anything wrong with him standing there. As long as he didn’t go swimming. LOL I don’t think there’s anything u all wont have a negative comment about.

    Satan never comes to steal, kill, and destroy, without feeding us with pride and haughtiness. For that is the food that flourishes our minds to produces nothingness.

    This man’s mind received a message from Satan, that told him he would be in the spotlight, a nonsense but dangerous idea that he jumped. He was just lucky that God is a God of mercy and compassion, because He is Love

    True, he achieved his goal; he is in pictures on the internet, But what do people think about him?

    I would rather be humble, than to find out that people think of me as a monkey, an idiot, and a damn fool.

    O Lord, have mercy on our ignorance about You, and most of all, the destroyer of our lives.

    This is certainly not man vs sea, i think it is more a foul vs the sea. The authorities keep warning individuals of staying away from the dangerous conditions during the passage of storms etc and there you have a young man going into the water at this time. When will we as a people learn?!!!
