Earthquake in Chile

By Padmini Arhant

The devastating earthquake in Chile measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale is a humanitarian tragedy.

Unfortunately, an earthquake of this magnitude is humanity’s biggest challenge, despite tremendous progress made in monitoring the seismic activities around the world.

During events like these, Mother Nature’s act epitomizes the paradoxical universe.

On the one hand, the serenity resonating peace and harmony in Mother Nature that facilitates the nurturing of infinite species is incomprehensible and readily embraced by the inhabitants.

Contrarily, the wrath of Mother Nature revealed in the form of earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, tornado, typhoon…is feared and scorned by the species with the inherent discriminatory characteristics.

Loss of life in any manner, whether natural or human orchestrated wars are regrettable.

Earthquake in Haiti

The Caribbean nation on the western hemisphere, Haiti, is hit with a massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale. Natural disasters are generally devastating for any country, particularly the poorest nations.

Unfortunately, Haiti with reportedly 80 percent of the population below the poverty line will require more than financial aid.

President Obama’s action to provide military assistance in rescue operation combined with necessary humanitarian relief is praiseworthy.
