We, as silly little humans, like to believe that we run the world. That this planet is just some rock that we have every right to use and abuse for all its worth. Today was another reminder of how helpless we are.
As the planet shook, we humans were reminded just how small and powerless we are. This is an important note to take. We do not run this planet, we are not in charge. Though we have grown to be amused by our own attempts at control, the fact of the matter is there is something far more powerful at hand here. I'm not talking about God (per-say), I'm talking about the nature of the universe. We are mere spectators, and most things that could wipe us out as a species we have absolutely no control over. We are ants clinging to life. We need to accept that.
Though I am far from religious, I do believe in the power of thought. In no way are the things I'm saying meant to diminish the devastation experienced in Japan today. I send my thoughts to each and every person who has been effected by this immense travesty. Allow this to be a lesson learned the hardest way possible. We are not more powerful than the planet.
