Our Limitations
So far in my life, I have experienced earthquake three times. Luckily, they do not happen continously, they happen in different year. Two out of three earthquakes happened in December.
In all of those three earthquakes, I am caught off-guard. I was not prepared to face an earthquake, I was caught in my deadlines and routine.
I felt a certain horror engulfing me every aftermath of the earthquake: had it lasted more than a minute, what would be my fate? I still remember vividly in the third earthquake I experienced, the wardrobe in the room I stayed was shaking uncontrollably.
I cannot help but feel as if I am being reminded again and again how small and fragile we are in the face of mothernature.
Control and stability are illusions
