“After the adrenaline of the disaster has passed and we face the dreariness of loss, despair lurks around the corner. Unable to attribute our misfortune to random chance, we wonder what we did wrong. Homes gone, dependent on the goodwill of strangers, fearing financial ruin perhaps with loved ones killed, we look for someone to blam, we turn to the outsider. A disaster can alter the behavior of the individual, like one who is part of a mob, divorcing us from our moral compass. We must remember the most dangerous threat in a disaster is the threat to our humanity.” HumanityLossDisasterRandomnessMisfortune Book:The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Have Shaped Us and What We Can Do about Them Source: The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Have Shaped Us and What We Can Do about Them
