Ides or the center of the month

Write about the Ides of March.

Hi.

I actually had to look this up. Is everyone looking for disaster in March? It was a really rough winter and may not be over yet.

OK, the Ides of March is considered in 44 B.C. the day Julius Ceasar was assassinated. Did you know he was warned about doing what he was about to do and about the meeting he had called for the day of Ides? It was because he was about to declare himself a god. It also caused a change in history for the Romans. Their republic ceased and then it became The Roman Empire.

I guess other disasters have occurred on or near the middle of March. March is a month of weather change. Or perhaps better to call it changeable weather month.

Another thing I know about is after 9/11; there were many articles written about how disasters often happen on September 11.

I would guess it is why we are often told to live one day at a time. Don't guess about what might happen unless you have some action to back up what you think might happen. Now I'm wondering what other dates might be considered hazardess. Could it lead to holding your breathe every time some specific date was looming? Or do the people who cause disasters choose these dates because they are trying to control the thoughts and actions of humankind?

Just a thought?
