We have had so many reminders here in Australia, Preeti. The last bush fires on the south coast seemed too big for any humans to tame. We watched from our TV screens, and cried as humans wrestled with virtual walls of flame.

So many tears, so much lost. Too, too much to bear.

Over those few days I witnessed bands of heroes. These people were going where others feared to tread, tp tackle the impossible.

And recently we had the northern NSW floods. People lost so much, including their peaceful lifestyles. They will never recover.

Yes 'tis a warning, a warning to cut excesses, to be there for each other, and to care enough to help those who don't have the financial resources to rebuild somewhere else,
