Dem Wind Entgegen - Against the Wind

I’ve got nothing against the wind. It blows, it gusts, and it always gets a bad rap. The wind blew the tiles off my roof or that bloody wind nearly pushed me into oncoming traffic. The breeze, on the other hand, is considered gentle, free-flowing, and refreshing. At what point does a breeze become wind? We’re talking the same geophysical phenomenon here, just to varying degrees. One is nice, the other not so. I for one believe strong wind is great. When you hear its roaring howl in your ears and feel its massive force pushing you in whichever direction it chooses, it makes you feel incredibly small, but wonderfully alive. We should shoot the breeze down and make gusty, powerful wind more popular.
