Hi,
Good morning! Earth revolves around the sun at an amazing speed of about 66,600 miles/hour, and rotates on its own axis at a speed of more than 1000 miles/hour like a spinning top. Moon, the Earth's only natural satellite, orbits around it at a distance of 384000 KM. Minute changes in these numbers could mean big changes for us the humans on the planet earth. Nature is all powerful. Thank God that they are in order most of the times. But, caused by consistent undesired human interventions or some unknown and uncontrollable forces, when they deviate, the disaster strikes..
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Story of the Japanese and Their Power of RESILIENCE
Natural disasters, fires, and earthquakes destroyed Japan's cities in whole or in part on numerous occasions over the last several centuries. The resilience of the Japanese is such that they did not let themselves down, but bounced back every time and rebuilt their cities transforming them into some of the world’s best.
Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit by atomic bombs in Aug 1945. But the Japanese showed tremendous resilience to rebuild them as well as the Japan over the years into world’s 2nd or 3rd largest economy. It has been reported that Japan was hit by more than 195 tsunamis so far, but they have withstood all of them. This one, which hit them yesterday, is perhaps the worst. But with the kind of resilience and enormous bouncing-back attitude they had always shown, they should weather the storm, return to the normal life soon, and rebuild the lost cities that would become symbols of power of man’s RESILIENCE,
----------------------------------------------------------------
There are ups and downs in the lives of people as well as those of nations. It is said, “A Champion is not someone who never falls, but is the one who gets up, every time he falls, and runs forward.”
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” –Confucius.
The Best for you always!
With love and regards,
Siva

Very inspiring. Nature has its own way of handling `imbalance`. There is nothing right or wrong about it. It just happens. It is perhaps to bring human on knees again who is trying to come over nature and its beauty.
Siva,
I am a bit late to comment on your story this time. Let me be critical this time. Do you think that your readers are not aware of the resiience of the Japanese that has been established and displayed large and wide in the world's economy and history. The story should have been a crisp blow by blow account of how they managed to do all that they did and keeping your audience confident and guessing of their modus operandi to undo all that misery mother nature brought to them. Are you thinking that I sound negative? If so, please do not, because I would like you to grow everyday.
Thank you dear Brother Sarath. I have just stumbled upon this post blog post of mine and read your comments and loved every word of it. I am blessed. Thank you.
