The Tsunami Lesson 12/28/2004 9:42:47 AM
Humans rise to the challenge and fulfill their purpose during natural disasters!
At times like this we can see our true place in the evolution of the universe.
The gazillian year old fire at the core of our planet continues cooling, causing the crust of the earth to contract. As it does, the surface must adjust to the underlying changes and earthquakes happen! If they happen underneath the ocean, Tsunamis are born.
We, like all other life forms of universal evolution must adjust or die in the resulting cataclysm.
Making the effort to live and preserve our life form, we come to the aid of our fellow humans at times like this. From deep within ourselves we respond to the suffering and needs of our fellows even though they are total strangers thousands of miles away. This exposes the primal purpose of human beings - to help each other survive and live in harmony with each other!
Each of us is, in fact, a small part of the evolving universe. Personal, Religious, Economic and Political competition, greed, bigotry, racism and war are earthquakes and tsunamis in the evolution of civilization.
