A response to the article entitled “Reflections: New Orleans and China” written by Nicolai Ouroussoff from the “Week In Review” section of the New York Times.

This article was about how hurricanes do so much more than just the damage than ones physical eye can really see. Very rarely do we look toward to the future after a hurricane has just hit us. Usually we tend we tend to want to rebuild what we already had and what had been destroyed the hurricane. People tend to ignore the saying that basically says sometimes it’s good that good thing fall apart because it allows the opportunity for better things to arise. It is like the natural process of evolution.

Over the past three years, New Orleans has been through a lot with the less fortunate people being hit the absolute hardest. If you think about it they have basically almost lost it all after Hurricane’s Katrina, Ike, and Gustav. You see they were stabbed in the back because of FEMA’s slow and almost disregarded response to people’s cry out for help. Texas is going through essentially the same right now dealing with the possibility of losing everything and having to start all over again.

China is a little bit different and more intelligent because they realize what I stated earlier. Sometimes it is good that good thing fall apart because it allows the opportunity for better things to arise. It is like the natural process of evolution. They look forward to the future, they also believe in evolution. That all round process of life. You cannot stay at the same stages forever. You have to move because if you do not then you are not living life, you are just breathing.
