I like the rain. Heavy, heavy downpours.
I like the crashing sound of thunder.
I like the flashes of lightning.

Rain, it makes you realize, how much of a pittance are you; a minute, small character in the great reservoir of life. Only when drenched from head to toe comes the fact, that we're actually little pawns in this great game. But it's not all.

1)The rain brings you back to reality. The cold, pelting raindrops, they remind you of what you are here for; for it it a wake-up slap, or call it a friendly reminder, that we still have mileage to cover, that the journey is not over.
2)The rain nourishes the soul, cleanses the dirt off one's environment. For only after the harshest of thunderstorms, comes the beautiful rainbow.

3) The rain too, reminds you that you are not alone. For always beside you there would be people, friends, family, offering you genuine concern, to be ready with an umbrella, to shelter, and accompany you through the rest of the storm.

暴风雨过后, 总会是雨过天晴, isn't it right? (:
