Sometimes I wonder.. Are disasters and catastrophies present to maintain a certain form of equilibrium in the biological world? Human population is proliferating at an alarming rate. Years ago, the 6-billion mark has been surpassed. Yet, global human population continues to surge. But there are also more virulent diseases and syndromes surfacing.. plainly as a result of mutation? or perhaps acting as a form of moment of force restoring a new state of equilibrium, now that the state has long been disturbed? Le Chatelier's Principle?
A terrible earthquake struck the populous nations of India and Pakistan. Claiming hundreds of lives. Is this merely natural disaster? Look at the AIDS pandemic... How it spreads across the globe.. Look at how the health ministries across the globe are afraid of the emergence of a virulent strain of bird flu... Are all these inevitable? May the quake victims all find their peace in mind soon...
