Japan faced as we all know the worst that the nature can create. The worst havoc created by nature is of a very serious note indeed according to me. It is a very serious climatic breakthrough that has occurred. I was reading an article a few days ago which made me think with a positive frame of mind. The article had the following facts which give a view of what might happen after this terrible nature's fury. I'll list those facts below.
In the 17th century, there was a catastrophic fire that engulfed London and threatened to destroy the whole of the city. But after that London has evolved as one of the biggest economic hubs of the world, in spite of all the destruction that took place because of the fire.
Great fire of London!! 1666!!
Similarly in the year 1871, in the city of Chicago, a fire broke out and continued to destroy the city at a massive level. People believe that the fire broke out as a result of the tripping of an oil lantern over hay by a folklore. Whether it is true or not, but after the massive level of destruction, Chicago summoned best people for a contest to unleash their creativity and design a building. Many participated and came out with brilliant designs. Thus was born what we call today as the "skyscraper". Tall building with many floors were constructed and Chicago is known for the first skyscraper of this world. Since that there has been tremendous improvements.
Chicago burning!! 1871!!
Japan itself is a wonderful example for "economic magic". The 1945 bombings on the two cities totally devastated Japan but it came out with determination to fight out the economic breakdown and redeem itself as one of the leading economic nations of the world. That is still considered to be a development beyond imagination.
Man's tyranny unleashed!! 1945!! Bombing in Hiroshima, Japan!!
Another notable instant of breakthrough is the development of Surat after the 2001 earthquake that nearly destroyed nook and corner of the city. The quake consumed a lot of lives and did a lot of property damage that shook the whole government. But, after that it has turned out to be a well developed place.
Suffering of Surat!! Earthquake of 2001!!
The article's main point was the growth of Japan after this tsunami. They say that Japan will rise after this natural disaster to a very high level. The destruction caused by this tsunami is very low when compared to the destruction caused by the two bombs that man created and used to destroy the cities. Even nature has got some consideration for man. But it is sad that man doesn't want another of the the same kind to have a place in this world.
Nature's fury on Japan!! March, 2011!!
The point that I wanna make is that, whether man wants to do something with this world or not, this world wants to do something for itself. This tsunami might be the start of destruction of this world. I think water has started to show its power. There was a volcano that erupted after this tsunami which was not noticed by most of the people. I think this is how the world balances. It brings in water and brings in land at the other. December 21, 2012 might be a day on which the world would be new and fresh to start with another generation. This might be destruction for a positive cause.
