We live in a lonely world. We live in a world where we ignore each other, we demean each other, and we kill each other. We have poisoned our planet and we highlight our divisions instead of appreciating our differences.
As tens of thousands of people are killed because a cyclone a half a world away, we have to fight against the grain even to feel for them. That same sadness, anger, and outrage we felt when our people were killed en masse is tucked away. We have contributed to shifting the climate in our world and we foster the fictitious systems of ruling people. Aid agency can't find their way to help the desperate victims of the cyclone because they can't get visas.
Nature is angry at us. Tragedies such as this one, emphasize how ridiculous our human-made catastrophes really are. We can't control when our world will create a disaster, but we can prepare to help when they do and we can stop creating our own.
