The challenge of creation reduces us to the inevitable. Our lives are full of tiny disasters.
Floriano Martins

Mehmet Murat ildan
After every disaster, after every death, human beings always learn the same thing: Mankind has only one problem, to protect its existence! And after every disaster, after every death, human beings always and immediately forget the same thing: To take every precaution to protect both their own existence and the existence of others!
