For every action there's a reaction and in this sense I have to agree with deserving it for what we are doing. We continue daily, everytime the car starts, everytime we use plastics, even everytime we use a cell phone, mainly because we are limited of choice thats needed to sustain our existences.
Nature seems to be having more "unprecedented events" recently all over the world. Does oil naturally act as the same lubricant to fault lines as it does in our engines? Have we used too much of what took millions of years to form? If i knew the answers to these and many more, they wouldn't be questions.
A young family we met last year in hospital, fought through major heart operations for their newborn, who was born with half a heart. After a ten month struggle with that, they finally get back to Queensland here, only to lose their not covered by insurance house to the floods, two months later. I helped with their clean-up and what struck me was the immencity of it that reports just couldn't capture. Neither could I, however, some of the photos i took still tell the story.
Of course, at the time, my friends were not worried about the house, only happy to still have each other. The Japanese people will need this sort of resolve and then some extra, looking at the scale of this disaster.
I will be praying that families get miracles and find lost love ones and that nature will now leave them alone so they can begin restoring.
Heavy.
