More than anything else, the situation in Japan is a harsh, stark reminder that our civilization lies upon a knife's edge. Nature is a harsh, fickle mistress, and we are never far from utter destruction.
I say this not to gloat, but to remind everyone -- myself included -- not to take the conveniences and amenities of modern living for granted lest we become complacent. Our privilege can be revoked in the most brutal ways possible, to put it mildly.
My heart goes out to those who've lost loved ones in this tragedy.
