Another tragedy has hit the world yesterday! A massive earthquake of 8.9 scales has hit Japan, followed by TSUNAMI, killing thousands of people. Those who survived will have to struggle to survive! They have lost everything, and have to fight with a devastated life! Some of the survivors may recover with their life, and get back on their feet. But with most of the people in impacted area, it’s not going to be easy getting back with their life! They may have lost close family members, surely have lost everything they build so far in their life, home, job, life’s earnings, savings, everything! And the images of this incident, it’s going to be there to haunt them for life! I cannot even imagine how they might be feeling right now; let alone how to start again with their life! From thousands of miles away, I can only pray for them, pray to God for giving them strength to recover!
This was shocking news for all of us! We know what an Earthquake can do; we know what TSUNAMI can do! Who can forget 2001 Earthquake and 2004 Tsunami! When the news came out, no one has any idea of the impact, but we know its 8.9 and Tsunami, so we know that the impact is going to be much much bigger! We feel so helpless in such situation, watching it on TV, reading it on news sites, but can’t do anything to prevent it, can’t save a single person from the impacted zone! All the world can do is to watch, and let the natural disaster finish, to go and look for survivors! People are swept away by water like insects! Our existence in this world is so fragile, so small, that we can die in millions by just one natural disaster! Sometimes it feels like The Universe has a larger, much bigger plan, and we are not part of it!
Yet, we earthlings are so proud of being superior species; we want to rule the planet! We are exploiting the natural resources as if it’s unlimited! We know that we do not have any other home, but still we are working round the clock, to destroy our only home, The Earth! The clock is ticking very fast, and these natural disasters are Mother Nature’s way of telling us to slow down! Because if we don’t, it’s not going to be a single boom to finish the human population, but a slow and painful end of our home, our world, our species! We and our family, friends have to live with dying out natural resources, trying to survive without proper food and water! Think of this life we are going to live in future! It’s not like some Sci-Fi movies vision of a perfect society in future, but a gloomy picture of dark and painful future! This is what we are going to get, and our kids are going to live through it! This is the future we are creating for our children!
As I mentioned earlier, all I can do for the victims of this tragedy, is to pray for them, pray to God for helping them survive, and live through the tragic devastation of Japan! But I will also leave you all with one of the video, which showcase our future world. This documentary, Earth 2100, was made in 2009, and the focus was the green summit, to get all nations agreement for stopping global warming. But it will give you the idea of where we are heading, with our friends and family, to a dark place called Earth’s future! Its in total 9 parts, and I have posted just the first part of it, and you can view other parts from related video. If you want to watch it on YouTube, with playlist, click on this link.
