Unfolding horrific tales from Tsunami in Japan

   Horrifying wouldn't be even a just word here. Perhaps there is no such words in the English Dictionary that would sum up what has Japan gone through. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. The real horrific tales would start to unfold some time later- say a few days or even a few weeks after. This is once more the reminder that we humans on earth are only frail living creatures of perhaps no consequence before the unfolding drama of natural tragedy in a far inconsequent planet called earth. If these would ring true to each and every living conscience that inhabits this planet then a lot could be done to mitigate the sufferings of the people in general. Of course such gigantic tragedy could never be thwarted by frail creatures like us, but surely we could do something like funding the human scientific resources such that a few good option could emerge out of their research findings instead of wasting our time and money in arms and negative sides of development.
   The nuclear tragedy is an instance to understand the gravity of the problem which could have been averted if our thinking mechanisms had been oriented into a kind of focus that invariably creates options for better use of science and technology and the more proactive and disaster free management of the diminishing resources. In all countries there is an urgent need to make the conscience of the human beings to resonate with causes connected with social upheavel rather than simply engage in activities that would generally look like simply satsisfying the ego of the self. What I mean that in most part of the earth and the development that we have seen is basically something not very conducive to good living and gainful employment, but simply for ego satisfaction. A lot of decades have passed without us not inventing a sustainable future for mankind. Oil hasn't as yet got a neat substitute worth eyeing for. No proper mechanism to control the diseases in the world are there except for aligning with the medicines prescribed by multinational drug corportations. A significant part of the world's population goes without even two meals a day and corruptions of thought, means and in the economies of many developing and developed nations have brought forth the need for an urgent need for reform in our own thought process. As far as producing a sustainable electric power we are still in kindergarden stage.
     Of course, Japan would come out of this crisis too, but make one distinction clear that human beings have become a few levels weaker in their thinking. True, such tragedies are beyond the control of human beings, but surely we could have effectively invented supplements for nuclear power or perhaps some other forms of energy, but unfortunately we are all here to put everything to waste.
