If I think that earthquakes only happen in Japan and not in my home, I have less to worry about. But of course this is far from the truth. It seems like these disasters are happening in increasing measures. We definitely have to remember that we are connected when it relates to coming to the aid of the disaster victims...

I was also thinking about the arbitrariness of nations and borders when this earthquake hit Chile. When I heard that the tremors were felt as far away as Japan, I thought, of course they were, it happened on the same planet. This dynamic, ever-changing planet we live on.

I was also thinking about the concept of natural disasters. What disaster isn't natural?
Whether it is a geological 'disaster' that is a result of the earth's natural processes or if it is a human-made disaster (aren't we part of the natural order of things?), it is nonetheless natural or devastating.

Thanks for starting this conversation. Looking forward to know what others think…
