| Synopsis: |
The world is a beautiful place, but sometimes nature can turn deadly. Disasters can strike without warning. Tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes are only a few of the natural disasters unleashed by the earth. In ancient times, people often thought of the earth as a mother who nourished her children and provided for them. In return, people respected and cared for the earth. Today, this is rarely people's viewpoint. Natural disasters have always been a part of life on earth, but as the world's population has increased and people have become increasingly industrialized, their effects have become more devastating. Surviving a natural disaster is often a matter of chance, but what happens next is a matter of choice. Will you choose to live your life in fear, terrified of where and when the next blow will fall? Or will you learn from your experience, gaining a perspective about what is truly important in life? Here, you can read about people who did experience natural disasters, and hear what they have to say about how their lives have changed as a result.And even if you never experience the fury of nature's wrath, the truths these survivors have learned are still relevant in whatever 'natural disasters' you are experiencing in your own life. |
