Times of disaster make you realize reality as it is. Life is always fragile; Everyone is always in danger. You don't see it just because you sleep like the dead in normal times. You keep dreaming, dreaming of good things for the days to come, for the future. But when danger is imminent, you suddenly realize that it may not come, that it is the only moment you have. Therefore, times of disaster are extremely revealing; brings nothing new to the world; it just makes you notice the world as it is. It wakes you up. If you don't understand this, you may lose your mind; if you understand, you can wake up." Osho
