The Way of the World
The way of the world can be puzzling to people. With the current events in Haiti, it is only normal to question the reasoning behind such tragedy and devastation. The biggest fear to humans is the unknown and with such events, humanity tries to pull reasoning out of any which way possible.I have heard it is written in the bible this devastation. It is the beginning of the end...is it? I have heard it is the Haitian people being punished for the "pact with the devil"...is it punishment? I have heard it is an angry Mother Nature returning the abuse humanity has done to her....is it revenge? Whatever you may believe, it is the way of the world. It is the way of the world to produce earthquakes when the plate tectonics shift, it is the way of the world to produce storms that shower the green of the earth, it is the way of the world to create great waves when underwater plate tectonics shift, it is the way of the world to become cold or hot based on the tilting towards the sun. The world was here first. It has the right to have its way, humanity is here on borrowed time and we have to live and adapt to the way of the world. If we have to blame someone for such tragedy, blame the ones that failed to build infrastructure to withstand the way of the world, blame those that failed to create proper warnings to warn against the dangers of great waves, storms and extremities or if we are of greater spirit, understand the way of the world, respect the way of the world and adapt to the way of the world. Victimization will not do any of the lives lost justice, it will not improve our adaption and it will not help humanity evolve. After all, this is not the way of humanity we live in, it is the way of the world.
