Cursed year 2008 or not?

The floods are the latest in a series of powerful natural disasters to strike China this year, and come as the country is still mourning the loss of almost 70,000 people who were killed in an earthquake  that struck southwest China in May. The natural disasters have fed superstitions that this year is somehow cursed with misfortune.

But in my mind, It is precisely because of these unfortunate disaster make the Chinese people united more closely and so that the communication between the state and the people also more close. 
Big disaster will trigger a big love!

The victory of the 2008 Olympic Games prove that Chinese people are united and brave!

Natural disaters are inevitable and show us how fragile a human life is. It should not require "Big disaster" to trigger a big love. We should love and compassion even when there are no disaster !

It is only your point of view that major disasters happening in 2008 and many people are dying. Some people attribute it to bad omen, or bad luck, or fongshui.


But if you look at it in a different perspective, the disaster in South West China is lesser than than the Tsunami in 2004 on Boxing Day, which killed about 200,000 people. Most of them in Acheh, Sumatra, Indonesia.


The Kobe earthquake killed tens of thousands of Japanese, who are more prepared for such calamity than any other parts of the world.


However, the incidences of the natural calamity are on the rise during the last decade, there is more hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires and drought, hailstones, cyclones, all across the world, from South America, to the North America, to Japan, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey, and South Asia. There are Scientists link it to a phenomenon which is man-made, global warming, but fall short of Religious people call it the End-time age.


Whatever it is the cause, we have to be ready for it, be prepared, not to put our stakes too deeply into the ground, and reduce the risk of loss in case of this unpredictable event that could happen to us.
