Why me?
The recent disasters we have to bear have made us wonder what we did to deserve such things. Anger, frustration, sorrow, or pain rise from the impotence of wanting to make things better, of changing the last moments before everything happened, of having wasted so much time and not appreciating what we have. All those questions and situations that we would want to control are flowing from our heads.
What is done, is done; there is no turning back. The problem is the misinterpretation we give to make sense of what is happening. It has nothing to do with an Angry God, nor a personal affair. Don’t take it personally; it is not about you. These things happen and this time it happened to you.
The world is constantly changing and it will keep on doing it; nobody is testing us but ourselves. We must endure what is happening and make the best out of it. To avoid any regrets we can live to the fullest everyday, as the stoics say: Carpediem, make of your day the most of it.

I couldn´t agree more. Our first instinct when something bad happens to us is to find a cause; but in these kind of scenarios there is no explanation yet, or more accurately, no prediction of it, so our mind lead us to something we can understand, which would be blaming something or someone as if what happened was on purpose or even personal. But maybe that´s because we are humans; we tend to search for the closest cause, but regardless our tendencies, we are reasonable beings and we have the ability to self correct ourselfs and see that whats happening rigght now in our country is nothing but nature.
