There are people who do not listen to good advice when it is offered, and then end up facing problems that could have been avoided if the advice given was heeded. There are some people who create a storm of problems because they do not listen, and then when these problems start to rain down on them they become upset and try to place blame everywhere else but refuse to take blame for their own actions or willful ignorance. These individuals are responsible for the storm, and the rain that comes with it. You should not complain about something that occurs as a result of your actions. Often when problems start you can look back and see that these could have been prevented if you had taken the advice that was offered.
An example is a man who was advised by his mother to become financially stable in life before having any children. The man does not listen, and he creates a number of children before going to college and becoming settled and financially secure. As a result the man has to pay a large amount of child support each week, forcing him to work hard and put in many extra hours each week. This man is always working, with no time for a social life and often very little money left over after all the bills are paid. This man complains frequently about the rain in his life but never considers that he is the one who created the storm that brought the rain, because he failed to listen to the good advice he was given by his parent.

I believe a person that creates a storm for themselves usually can't uncreate the storm. Why cause it if they can't fix it.

I agree we could avoid a lot of storms if we listen to the advice around us. But in life there will always be sunny days, and storms whether you created them or not, the important thing is to be able to get out of them. You need to be equipped by having a strong relationship with God and with others. Sometimes those storms are the ones that transforms you into a stronger being. So just take responsibilities, learn from your past experiences and mistakes and do the actions that will get you out of the rain. If you don't take responsibilities and keep blaming others for your situation, then you will aways keep creating them. And you will never be happy and peaceful.

Ahh...to be human...humanity is always creating storms it doesn't have the answers to fix...as do humans on an individual scale. Jesus told the story of the prodigal son to demonstrate this...he said we should accept and aid the person in need, though they may have created their own "storm"...for they are most in need of compassion. The man in the story above likely needs help...not reproach...as do the children. We can be like the second son and say "no...I've been good and he should be punished...he brought this on himself"...or we can do what was pointed out to be the right thing...to show compassion and offer healing. When a storm is created...it doesn't just risk one person...it puts many lives in danger.
