Hi Marsha,

Mine too.

The biological level takes offense at the loss of life.  The social
level introduces empathy for our fellows.  The intellectual level sees
the logical value in this if it knows what's good for it, but ego runs
through all 3 of these levels too.  What's really sad to me was to
hear the unnecessary suffering it has caused in the laments of those
who were wailing, "what did we do to deserve this?", as though the
earthquake and tsunami were personal.  Really?

Best,
Mary
