Cancer and lightning go where they want. So does political corruption.
Cancer and lightning are unpredictable forces that strike without warning, symbolizing the chaotic nature of life. They represent how certain dangers can infiltrate our lives seemingly at random, much like political corruption that
manifests in various places and systems. In James Lee Burke's "Wayfaring Stranger," the comparison highlights the inevitability of encountering such malevolent elements. Just as we can't control where lightning may strike, we also face the challenge of confronting the pervasive influence of corruption in society. This perspective compels us to remain vigilant and responsive to the injustices that may affect our lives and communities.
