Don't Stress

"I know not but what force this world and our bodies are held together, but I know it is good"

Natural disasters are not the work of God. They are the work of environmental change in our fallen world. Sometimes this results in the mass loss of human life.

But earthquakes or no, I would have to say that the vast majority of evil and misfortune in this world is caused by direct or indirect human action.

It's not our fault. A person is smart, but people are very very stupid. We can't see what will happen to us. We can't see that this new marvelous invention will cause cancer. We can't see that electing this particular human will have the end result of rivers clogged with bodies. Idi Amin just nicked power, it isn't always our fault.

I would have to say, that by and large, people are good. We have good intent, we simply lack the wisdom to change our actions on a large scale.

The end result is that eventually there will be a really really big problem and that will galvanize us all into action. But till then, get ready for a lot of bullets, melting ice caps, slavery, pollution, intolerance, animal extinction and just general crap like that which can really ruin a guy's day.

People will always be people, and disasters will always happen. But just maybe, we will be able to be better people. Maybe.
