I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in an earthquake zone. I do remember earthquakes here, but they were nothing in comparison to even a normal scale earthquake in Japan.

Both Britain and Malaysia are very lucky.
We don’t have any earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes, etc.

But Malaysia is actually luckier than Britain.
Because our country is located right outside the Ring of Fire.
Our neighbouring countries like Indonesia, the Philippines get the earthquakes and volcanoes.

Pacific typhoons are blocked by the Philippines; Storms from the Indian Ocean by Indonesia.

To us it seems quite alarming but the Japanese are quite used to the effects of earthquakes. As a general rule they take them in their stride because they are frequent occurrences in that region.

The thing that is different this time is the problem with the damage to the Nuclear Power Plant which adds in an unfamiliar dimension to the situation.

Every time I read about what is happening I go cold all over.

I believe the plant workers have sacrificed their lives to try and save others. My thoughts are with them and also the other people who’s lives have been affected by the tragedy in the area.

Thank you Peter

Earth is very resilient and always springs back as to humans, yes I guess on the whole they do too.

That is very true. Sad to say but on the whole lessons don’t seem to be learned and the same mistakes are repeated.

Once again, in the face of great adversity, we see the courage and nobility of the Japanese. The dedication of plant workers refusing to leave their posts is the ultimate self discipline and sacrifice. My thoughts are with them all.

Karma is not a personal thing – it applies to groups, to states, to countries, to nations and to continents. But will the lessons be learned?…
