Elemental Fury

What can we lame mortals do when elements unleash their fury on us? I shudder to think of all the fires in California and elsewhere in the world every day. Just to think about the tsunami - a factor I had never known as intensely as after the devastation it caused around the eastern part of the world, not to mention the earth quakes and volcanos....

We call the world is so advanced. Our scientists and meteolologists can predict the sun shine and rain every day. Can they actually predict the exact time of a tsunami or earth quake and protect the people from being massacared? Are we supposed to take them as the return of what we do to the earth?

The abundance of ugly "politics" in work places, relationships, friendships and the lies, cheating, and all the wrong things we do in our small ways in every day life are collecting together against and like "little drops of water" and turn toward us like a "mighty ocean" some day to settle scores?

Its scary to think about the way the world works today. Just before the week end, three families lost a memeber each. because somebody got mad at the boss in the work place for being sent out.

Joblessness is exruciating. But when we are jobless we are still alive. We can find a way to find a job or work late shifts in Mc Donald's, Starbucks or do something to bring in bread n' water to our family. But is t not cruel to take the liberty to take away life? What is the responsibility of the person who take extreme injustice in ihs own hands? God and its simply unnerving.

As economy tumbles, the basic trust on people seem to slip far away. SO is that why the elements are unable to hold good for people who are not holding good? IS that why we are loosing many innocent, un assuming lives in all those natural disasters? is it a kind of balance?

And I start trying to find explanations for the elemental fury and in a way finding a reason in nature's justice - definitely not a judgement or poetic justice, but a justice none the less.
