Natural Disasters

“Across nations and religions there has been a search for explanations of not only why the tsunami came, but why it killed some and not others – Some discern a lesson that humanity should unite citing the bodies of people of all religions tumbling together into mass graves, while others see affirmations of the rightness of their own path. Amid sympathy, there is judgment; beneath public compassion, a private moralizing.” (New York Times, January 12, 2005)
