From Cracked.com (Hat tip: mental_floss):
It’s only natural that we tend to focus on the human side of earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters when they happen. But sometimes you have to step back and really appreciate the sheer, unfathomable scale of how these events can change the surface of the Earth itself. The world is a volatile place, and we’d do well to not let ourselves forget it.
And nature is completely indifferent to our moral concerns and preening about nature.
