It ain't personal

Exciting world!  earthquakes, floods, drought, hunger, disease, radioactivity. Some of us would feel better if there were a reason, perhaps some god or gods sitting in judgment of what your neighbor did last Saturday night, judging and bring down tornados throughout your state as a sign of disapproval.

We might blame ourselves for being environmentally insensitive, thinking that the earth is now striking back, putting us in our places.

The reality is that none of it is personal. We live on a little rock, with a dynamic core and atmosphere. Stuff just happens, and we just happen to get in the way. Think about when you accidently step on a line of ants.
