I was watching a story tonight about the psychology of watching the damage of the tsunami. The speaker was saying we learn from watching these things so if we find ourselves in this kind of danger that we know what to do. It makes sense. It’s how our ancestors survived various things long enough to produce those who produced us.
We humans are interesting creatures. When we see destruction and death, it makes us feel more alive by comparison. We feel fortunate. We can suddenly count our blessings that might have escaped us just moments earlier.
In the coming days I’m sure we’ll hear some of those amazing stories of survival. Hard to imagine being in that situation..
