[The unimpressed look continues.] You can sure as fuck lose to a storm--you can let it beat you.
You ever seen people who say they've lost everything to a disaster? Home, lands, wealth, family? [He makes a noise of disgust.] Doesn't even take that much for some people to give up--maybe just all their possessions or their house. Might be they still have everyone they claim to care about alive. Might be they still have their health.
They'll still sit around moaning about how there's nothing to live for, waiting for the next thing to come along to pick them off. They're beaten. They won't fight anymore.
