Disasters happen in a fallen world, and we can’t do anything to prevent them.
In 2011 there was the deadly tsunami in Japan that triggered the meltdown of a nuclear reactor.

NEXT WE HAVE TO SEEWHAT WE LEARN FROM THE NATURAL DISASTER………..
“Simply anything that causes
damages to the livelihood and
the nature takes whole
responsibility for that.”
Vulnerability of Today’sMankind:
Today more people than ever are vulnerable to natural disasters.
Global climate change now threatens to increase these number significantly in the 21st
Century.
EVERY CAUSE HAS AN EFFECT
Our attitude towards Mother Nature will determine Mother Nature’s attitude towards us.
For every cause there is an effect. Nature treats the same way we are treating her.
We can’t force things, we can’t force nature and we can’t force anything in life, we only THINK we can.
NON RESISTANCE
When disasters like the Sandy storm happen, we are taught a very important life lesson, and that is to let go of our expectations.
LET GO OF EXPECTATIONS
Let go of expectations and live the life you’re destined for.
Peace comes only when we are true to our soul’s nature.
FORGIVE AND FORGET
Forgive everyone and forget all their faults because there is more to life that.
You can’t resist and you can’t fight against the forces of nature, you can only pray and wait for the storm to pass, patiently.
PATIENCE
LOVE & COMPASSION
Whether you are directly involved and affected by a natural disaster or not, whether is storm Sandy or some other natural disaster, you can’t help but feel compassionate towards every living being affected by the fury ofMother Nature, realizing once again that we are all ONE.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.Without them humanity cannot survive.
- Dalai lama
Nothing is ours to keep, not our big and expensive villas, not our beautiful and luxurious cars, not thelives of our families and friends and not our own lives.
LET GO OF ATTACHMENTS
In life, there’s many things that we have to learn to let go.We have to let go of situations, things, memories, people and even ourselves.
BUILD YOUR CASTLES IN THE SKY
If you built
castles in the
sky ; your work
need not be
lost ;
that is
where
they
should
be.
Now put the
foundations
under them.
If you built castles in the sky ; your work need not be lost ; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL
Storm Sandy and all the world’s natural disasters don’t just hit and affect those who are poor, but thosewho are wealthy as well
WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE
It’s not about the money, it’s not about the looks,
it’s not about the many things we think it is.
What really matters in life is to love yourself, love
those around you and to allow them to love you back.
Planet Earth is our home, not just yours and not just
mine.
Pre-Historical Disasters :
Pre-Historical Disasters :
8,200 years ago the entire Western coast of
Jutland in Denmark was transformed by a giant
tsunami that flooded large parts of Scotland.
In 1883 Krakatau blew up with a force
equivalent to 13,000 Hiroshima bombs.
All of these events had societal consequences
that can be traced in archaeological and
historical sources.
THE HUMANITIES MAKE NATURAL DISASTERS
MORE TANGIBLE
Climate reports and disaster
reports describe in great detail how
various factors are intertwined
scientifically but they often don't
give evidence-based descriptions of
what it will all mean for the
affected societies.
“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”
Now at this time I remember once a statement said by Benjamin Franklin and that’s “Death and taxesare the only two certainties in life, he neglected to add natural catastrophes to the list”.
