I dreamt of 2012 last night. Not that I can see the future of 2012, but the movie 2012. All the scenes came up and I became the lead. The feeling was atrocious, I can feel the earth shaking and my heartbeat racing like it can't slow down. Just saw Jiajie's status on this topic too. Syl told me that she has a bad feeling about the world, and that if we ended our lives at 2012, it'll be a waste not to enjoy them.
No, I don't want it to happen.
With the current weather and natural disasters, we cannot deduce that we will be safe. Although I heard from my friend that geographer assures that such happenings (in the movie2012) will not occur in 2012, but they cannot account that it will not happen in 2013, 2020. I'm afraid that it will occur eventually, yet it is useless to be scared or be appalled. We have to know what are the causes of these natural disasters so as to prevent and keep them under control.
The earthquake in Chile that occur on 27Feb with massive magnitude of 8.8 caused much unfortune and destructions to the people. From the ScienceDaily news, the earthquake occurred where the Nazca tectonic plate was subducted under the South American plate, building pressure in the covergence zones. The movements of these plates are due to the crustal motion and deformation. How do we exactly stop the crust moving?
Putting that aside, the quake had triggered tsunami in Pacific Region. There will be more casualties by then. I wonder, the resources on Earth will soon be used up not because of the rapid development but due to these natural disasters. Resources destroyed during the destruction, resources used to aid the casualties, resources to build up the countries. (Haiti, Chile) Moreover, in some part of China, I saw the news that the ground can be use to boil water? Imagine the lava under the crust, must be boiling like nobody's business.
More importantly, the casualties are emotionally unstable after experiencing the disaster. Their homes are ruined; family&friends are separated/left; desperate for physiological needs. Even if they survived, they will not lived like before. Who would bear to see such tragedy?
Whatever it is, I hope and pray hard that the world will not end so soon and that we can live happily ever after! (:
