Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are those events in nature that happen without human intervention, strictly occurring in nature, bound by nothing but the earth's natural will. During these times, the earth has movement and "growing pains" if you will. These "growing pains" may cause much destruction and many human hardships, but we as thinking beings must remember that the earth, while living, feeling, breathing, does not think, remember, react; it does not have a brain, a mind, like we humans. The earth, yes, moves. And when it wants to move, it does. Nothing can stop it. This is one of the most amazing things in life; we know the earth will move, buckle, slip back and forth, spew volcanic magma, and stretch. We know the earth will revolve around the sun, and eventually turn into a big round dead ball of rock floating forever in the universe, the endless black abyss. Yes, we know all of these things and more, but cannot predict these movements, these stretches, these burps. Nor can we prevent them. Humans have grown to realize, learn, remember, study, and speculate; as such we understand a great deal, maybe too much in the scheme of things. That's what we call life, and it in itself is strictly bound, too. Bound in the human condition.
