Good morning!
When we sit still and serene, we have peace and truth to see the triple systems and sufferings – individual, social, and ecological. There is no telling of what happens the next moment – heart attack, nuclear disaster, or natural disaster.
Last year we had the triple tragedy of record earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan. This morning I saw a special program from Japan about the hard look at the seismological science there, supposedly superior, but now seems spurious.
Scientists had come to the asperity theory, but failed to get enough data of the wider past records and longer enough dates to millennia. We must see far enough into the wholly wholesome system, sustainability, synergy, safety, simplicity, and saving all.
We must see limitless interdependence and dependent origination beyond self-centeredness and home-centricity. We must live in wholly wholesome way, well-walked, and fail-safe way. Then only can we live harmoniously and happily with all always.

Note:
Asperity is the strong region that resists the motion between the two plates at the subduction zone, which stores stress energy until suddenly allowing sliding over the locked portion, releasing the stored energy as seismic waves – earthquakes (elastic rebound theory).
