Mother Nature's Anger

It seems that when things get bad, they always get worse. I've have a friend that says, "Bad things always happen in three's". I belive that must be true, but it seems to be happening a lot lately. As if this recession isn't enough to create havoc and devestation on this earth, Mother Nature seems to be getting her hands dirty to. We already have to worry about the stock market crashing and the housing market and banks going under. Busnisess are going under everyday and people are losing their jobs. Prices are going up on everything and nobody can afford to pay their bills. Everybody in everypart of the world is at war or fighting in a war. People are rioting and getting out of control. The crime rate is rising and people are very worried about the general outcome of the life they live in this world today. On top of all this, Mother Nature has stepped in and made everything ten times worse than what it already is. I'm not sure if it's God that is angry at the world or if it really is just Mother Nature letting off some steam, but the disaster's around the world are really hitting everyone hard and in every season too. In summer the weather has been extremely hot. In some parts of the world it caused horrible heat wave problems. In spring there is the rain and tornadoes and thunderstorms. Some parts of the world have big flooding situations. In winter there has been so many snow storms that many people that used to not even get snow have accepted that it will snow in the winter season. With all this crazy weatherngoing on everywhere it just doesn't seem that it couldn't get any worse, but Mother Nature has pushed it to a whole new level. I'm sure by now that everybody has heard, seen, or read about the natural disaster that happened in Japan. Japan is a very small continent but it is very overpopulated with billions of people. Japan has the 3rd largest population group in the world. This disaster has taken out almost half of Japan. If you don't think that isn't gonna have a huge impact on the world then you are dead wrong. Japan was struck by an earthquake that was a 9.0 on the richter scale and then they were immediately engulfed in a huge tsunami following the earthquake. Those two disasters alone have killed millions of people. Now that all that has happened the aftermath of these two disasters are set on finishing the job. There are tons of aftershocks everyday. An aftershock is a mini-quake, but can be scary because it could be the warning sign of another big earthquake on the way. There could be several of these mini-quakes before they turn into something destructive. Everyone in Japan is cowering over any and all of the aftershocks they are feeling everyday. The earthquake and tsunami have also created thousands of fires that are out of control and all of these problems are now effecting the nuclear plants in Japan. There have been several explosions at the plants and many people are being warned to get somewhere safe indoors in order to get away from radiation posioning. The radiation leakage is spreading to a wider range everyday and Japan is asking for more help from other countries to help cool the reactors so the problem doesn't get worse. This Japan disaster has been titled as "a scene from hell, absolutely nightmarish". The earthquake alone has been deamed the 4th most powerful earthquake in the world since the 1900's. This disaster is estimated to cost about $180 billion dollars to repair, making it the 3rd worst economic crisis in the world. I was very sad when the earthquake in Haiti happened and they are still helping to rebuild the disaster effects over there, but this disaster in Japan takes the cake. No matter what anybody says we Americans rely on Japan for a TON of resources. Japan is an ally of ours and we are already having recession problems of our own right here in America and now half of Japan has gone under. It is going to take months just to tally up the death toll and years of rebuilding to get this country back on it's feet. This is not just a little piece of Japan that has gone under, it's HALF the country! That is a big piece of an economy that needs repairing. Keep in mind though, that we need Japan. We rely on them. It's like a dominoes effect. If they go down, then other countries maybe brought down with it. We are all connected whether we like it or not. In the last 4 days alone, the stock market has seen devastating numbers. Stocks have fallen dramatically because of what is happening to Japan. The stock market in Japan has been closed down due to the disaster's effects. Their stocks are "free falling" because of this disaster and, if you pay close attention, our stock market is slowly starting to reap the effects of the Japan disaster too. This crisis in Japan is a very critical time for them and I'm not even sure that they can even really fully recover from it. Of course we can rebuild buildings and put out the fires. Things can be fixed, but the lives lost and the damage that is left behind for these people is very dramatic. Do not be fooled by thinking that just because Japan is on the other side of the world that this will not effect you because it will. This is a major disaster that the world wasn't prepared for and it will effect everyone in the world. What if all these devastating things that have been happening in the last few years are the signal that the end is near? It's such a big thing to even imagine that our existence could be wiped away. I myself am having a hard time believing that it could happen and I'm not even sure if I want to believe something like that, but all those parinoid people that believe in things like the "End of Days","The Mayan Calander", and " 2012" may have a couple of good argument points. My opinion is that only God can decide our fate and if he chooses to end the world then that is his plan and there is nothing that we can do about it but to accept our fate. There are things in this world that are bigger than us humans and there are things that we can't stop. Hopefully nothing like 2012 will ever happen though, because it's just to much to think about.
