Although I feel terrible about this situation, I feel more saddened than angry, whereas, violence amongst each other leaves me not only saddened, but furious as well. I can accept this as an outside force that we had no control over (although heart wrenching nevertheless). It is the senseless violence we commit amongst our own kind that is avoidable and unnecessary , mother nature on the other hand will not cease to exist, and is beyond control.
It is events like this that make us realize how insignificant we really are. We can kill each other and commit acts of violence towards our own kind until we end up removing our very own existence, but we fail to realize we can all be obliterated within minutes due to the wrath of nature. Simply put, we are nothing in this vast universe. In the billions of years the Earth has existed, we have been around for only a fraction of time; really, we are a mere glitch, which makes it all the more senseless to destroy each other.
I truly hope it doesn't take a giant rock headed for earth to make us realize that we should come together and live in peace. It shouldn't be tragedies alone that make us come together for a couple days until we all forget and move on to our typical violence and hatred.
If we can not come to love one another, I look forward to that asteroid, and I expect it.
