Disasters Disasters and disasters..


So, I was listening to NPR today, and it was kind of scary to hear the bullet point of the recent series of disasters happened in the world.. Cyclon in Myanmar, earthquake in China and Tornado in Oklahoma....
This kind of reminds me the cheesy movie plots that world is ending and one or two science researcher type super heroes are the one saving the world by completing extreme missions like going to the sun to bury a dynamite, or doing down to the core to boost up the rotation of the earth.. or on and on and on..

Well, I don't know whether this is happening because of the global warming or 2012 or it's about time, or it's just coincidence. But for sure, I have a feeling natural disasters will happen more often than what we think, and those who are not ready will be the one that will be sacrificed. Probably some of that has to do geological locations, and some of that has to do with current technology. But yeah, for sure, the part of the world that are not prepared for this kind of extreme attack of nature are the one who gets most damage.

For those who lost their living ground, it is really sad and will be hard to raise up the foundation from the ground. The broken hierarchy of the system will self organize, or not sooner or later, but till then, the chaos and confusion that are way more complex than molecular level reaction will happen.. Sooner than later, there will be another disaster for sure, comparing the frequency of the disasters happening these days than past 10 years, this kind of processes will happen often than any other time in the history - building and rebuilding.. and destroyed.

While being thankful that this hasn't happened to me, I hope things will get better for those who lose everything.. and asides from that, I wonder when is the time for us as mankind to come up with a social structure that are flexible under the attack of disasters...
