When someone is experiencing such terrible tragedy, never mind that one''''s house is ruined to piece (but think of the horrible death of a child), sometimes the only coping mechanism is to ''''surrender''''. Grief needs no rationalization, and if religion is helping people to overcome their sadness, than that''''s great. To recover from such state of sadness, I found once that acceptance (pasrah, not necessarily to God but you know, to the nature of things) is the best way forward as an alternative to rationalization and the blaming game.  Saying that it''''s God''''s will, could be equated with saying that ""it''''s meant to be" (.... that we''''re we live happens to be on where the tectonic plates like to senggol-senggolan). On the other hand, I don''''t dig people who talk about a tragedy/natural disaster as if it was a punishment from God.  Especially, when the people who say that are not those who are suffering directly  from the tragedy! How very judgmental!Having said that,  my comments above apply only for personal grievance. As a nation though, I agree with you that the government needs to step up its efforts in disaster''''s mitigation and management. :( <em>"Surrender or pasrah is a good mechanism for some people in order to deal with tragedy and sadness, I do that too sometimes, and it keeps me sane.
