Where is it safe in the world?
It’s hard to imagine that a place that seems like a paradise can
be turned into a war zone by some terrible natural global disasters from cyclones, tornados, floods, fire, earthquakes, sink holes, even volcanos are erupting. It’s nuts.
Extreme weather is so frightening. The power of a natural phoenomenon is so unpredictable and unsettling.
So many lives taken and others damaged for life.
It is so sad and upsetting to see people weeping over their loss of their children. As Meredith Viera said on The Today Show about the earthquake in China, imagine the guilt these parents will have over doing something that seems so natural and safe…sending their children to school. And then they are killed by a devastating earthquake.
We can’t even come close to imagining what it would be like to lose everything and then starting over again. Some of these people didn’t have much to lose in the first place, some of them barely have a roof over their heads. Emotionally drained, so completely lost.
Even people who seemingly have everything…a beautiful home, nice cars, etc. and then to lose everything…and to walk away with the clothes on their backs.
Trying to see the good in this makes us appreciate what we have. Life is so uncertain, we can never be sure of life or take anyone or anything for granted. Will it take losing everything to appreciate everything?
And still be proud and content with yourself?
