The Sad Truth

Another week means another natural disaster will claim thousands of innocent lives. The most recent occurrence was an earthquake in China, which killed 9,000. As we continue to overpopulate the earth it just seems like more and more catastrophic events are occurring. I actually think we’re just crossing more into the fray where these things happen. Is the planet evolving? Of course it is. It always has. Too many people forget that almost the entire world was covered in ice not too long ago. It didn’t melt because of global warming. It melted because our environment is constantly changing, and as our (the human race) numbers grow, we increase the chances of experiencing this fluidity first hand.

Yes, the recent disasters are sad. Yes, thousands of people died and families were torn apart. The fact of the matter is that the earth has its own check and balance system. Maybe this is the only way we’re not going to overpopulate the world. Maybe the world is fighting back. You can only make a house of cards go so high before part of it comes tumbling down.
