"Deaths of 20,000 Japanese Afford Planet Solid 15 minutes In which everyone acts like a Human Being." Now the Onion can very satirical, very caustic in its commentary on the human condition but it would appear that in this case they may have made a very important point. The great tragedies do that for us and in the new energy the feelings of empathy brought about by great tragedies stay with the planet. We humans have a tendency to get over things rather quickly that do not effect us directly but when there is that scale of emotion it stays with the earth. and that scale of empathy can help turn the tide. There have been a lot of these kinds of events: 9/11, Haiti, Katrina, tsunami, earthquakes, and volcanoes and each one of them has brought about an outpouring of compassion and empathy. While these are terrible terrible tragedies they do have an effect on the planet, negative as well as positive.
