"Earthquake in South-East Asia": Natural Disaster or a Fatal Human Error..?
First Tsunami, then Katrina and now the Earthquake in South-East Asia.. it appears that even nature is determined to take away only from those who have nothing to start with. The earthquake has killed many, but its aftermath will kill many more.
Once again nature has hit those who are so disadvantaged that they will not survive without outside help. Once again, nature has struck humanity in the most vulnerable place, an area where help can’t reach all that easily. They say that mother nature has it’s own plans. If we trace the tacks of this destruction caused by our mother nature in recent disasters, we can see some signs of a plan.. sadly enough, the plan appear nothing but evil.
But then if you turn the thoughtful mind the other way, you wonder if it’s our own wrongdoing..! You wonder if it’s our own neglect, carelessness and ignorance that has caused our fellow human beings to be so disadvantaged. Did we leave our fellow humans to suffer in isolation yet again..? The fact that the earthquake seriously damaged the infrastructure in the affected areas. But look closely.. was there enough infrastructure to start with..? It is obvious that we humans have once again proven to be extremely inadequate.. an inadequacy, neglect and ignorance that is almost criminal. In this string of recent disasters, I see a sad mix of both of these things.. an evil plan of mother nature, and a fatal human error. I hope that the whole of humanity learns from these mistakes..!
It appears that if anything positive has come out of this all, then that is the cooperation between India and Pakistan in their efforts to help those in need. I'm glad that India offered its help, and very thankful to Pakistan that it did not allow pride or any rivalry to get in the way of very crucial help.
May Waheguru bless all the souls that departed us due to this natural disaster, and help those who are suffering as a result of it all. May Waheguru also give us humans strength, wisdom and the resources to help those in need. If we, the human race have contributed to this disaster, may Waheguru forgive us all, and show us a better way for future.
