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.
