Reflection Entry Three


Natural Disaster.

Contrary to popular beliefs, the world is not made of cotton candies and puppies (my inner three year old self might have died reading that line). The reality is that our world is a harsh place and can be really mean to us human when it wants to. Can't say we blame it since we are the ones living off from it, right?


So when disasters like earthquakes, tornado, volcanic eruption, and many more happens, what more can we do than adapt to it and try to avoid death and loss as much as we can? It's not always rainbows and sunshine. We sure have learned that the hard way. Mostly through recent incidents like the 2006 tsunami, and March 11 earthquake that struck Japan.

Natural disasters are a thing of nature. Mostly it cannot be stopped, but massive lost can be avoided, if we just take the time to implement necessary precautions. Sometimes, that's all we need to save a life.

Us Malaysians should feel grateful because our country is spared from most natural disaster, but that doesn't mean that we must not be on our toes, because nature is unpredictable, we never know what its got in store for us.

All we can do is, treat mother nature, the way we want her to treat us back.
