Short Term Relief – Not Enough When Disaster Strikes
It is a sad truth that we never sustain the sense of sympathy and the desire to do something for those who have been hit by natural disasters for a long time. Who talks of the Japanese earthquake anymore? Have all the problems gone away? There is usually an outpouring of aid and assistance from the masses immediately after a natural disaster. However, we go back to our jobs and tasks without bothering about the long term consequences of the disaster.
Japanese companies are still facing power cuts because they are not getting sufficient power from the nuclear plant. Does this mean we should send power to Japan? Well, it is not that we lack the technology to transmit electricity over long distances. By simply reducing our consumption and selling the excess to Japan, we can make a difference. Whether this is feasible or not is irrelevant because we choose not to. Beyond a certain level, we are not prepared to give up our luxuries and amenities for others.
On the other hand, there are those who leave their well established jobs and that take up care jobs in places that have been hit by natural disasters. Some are motivated by religious reasons while others see the futility of trying to live a life where a big wave from the ocean can destroy everything.
We have been tinkering with the natural system and we will have to bear the consequences of the same. Huge cities at the coast are particularly susceptible to this problem. In such a scenario, we should learn to give more in the consistent and sustainable manner to those who suffer from natural calamities.
