Unstoppable Nature

Well, everyone is talking about it… it is the popular discussion at the water coolers and the chat rooms. The Tsunami that recently hit South Asia was beyond words; the number of dead is over 100,000 and continues to rise. I have been debating whether or not to post anything about this. I couldn’t make myself write something for such a tragedy, being so helpless to stop it all. Even with all the power that I have (or I may think I have) I am nothing when it comes to nature. I mean sure I can donate some money and sure I can go over to those countries to help out, but there is always a sense that what I have done isn’t enough. I guess I am trying to be too perfect and I know that is impossible, however one must try and strive to their full potential. These are the times I truly feel useless, when all I can do is ease the pain and can’t do anything to stop it…

On a lighter note I recently read that all the wild animals were able to tell when the Tsunami was about to hit and thus were able to seek safer ground. This includes: birds, cats, dogs and elephants. It is so interesting how some animals are able to detect danger before it happens!
