EARTHQUAKE

THE EARTHQUAKE Last
night, while I was in Tokyo, an earthquake struck. I was staying at the Tokyo
Central Youth Hostel, which is located on the 18th floor of a high-rise
building in the Central Plaza. The earthquake caught me completely off guard,
and while the shaking was alarming, what truly overwhelmed me was the
uncertainty that hung in the air—uncertainty about what might happen to me in
the coming moments. This
morning, life feels incredibly precious after the experience of yesterday.
Earthquakes are undoubtedly terrifying, and no one welcomes them. But in the
aftermath, as everything returns to normal, I find myself reflecting on the
positive aspects that can emerge from such a frightening event. Two
observations came to my mind. First, in the wake of an earthquake, people
develop an intensified appreciation for life. They grow stronger and become
more willing to support one another. Second, since the earthquake tends to
damage buildings with weaker structures, it compels people to construct or
rebuild stronger, more resilient homes. (Shinagawa, November 2014) Charles Phan Hoang |
