Movies like Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow etc always left me filled with many conflicting emotions. On one hand I was struck by how great the forces of nature were, and yet I was always humbled to see the scale of destruction it could make. Humbled in the sense that it made me feel small. That really, Mother Nature is not to be underestimated.

And within 2 weeks, we saw what Mother Nature could really to us. It makes me wonder again, if is this how Mother Nature is reacting to how Man have treated her. It only takes one cyclone, one earthquake to remind us of what nature can do. And the thousands of lives and countless property etc destroyed will only serve as an even more painful reminder to many.

But while all these traumatizing pictures and news may bombard us, we also see the other side of humans - humanity. How the different nations selflessly reacted by offering different kinds of aid, despite the controversial issue of Tibet standing in between them and China.

*sighs* no more disaster please. Enough lives have been taken.
