I honestly believe that change is good, on all accounts.
Think back to 9/11....Do you realize that it raised our consciousness? That tragic event brought people together, people were kind to each other, that event united us for a short lived time.

Here again I can't agree. They don't need to happen. It's not good that it happened. We have intelligence. We know what consequences actions bring. Mistakes are one thing, but defying logic, common sense and reason and taking risks this big when you know others will be hurt and die? Nope.
Now I'm worrying that you might go so far as to say it would be okay to make something like this happen to teach someone a lesson, and that would be bordering on downright scary if not fanatical thinking to me.

I hope you know that I would never have wished this, ever! However as I said before when events like this happen it wakes people up!!!! Whatever even it may be! And I realize that a very VERY small group of people would actually agree with me, but you gotta look at the bigger picture to every catastrophe humanity has experienced whether it was man made or natural. So are you saying that things do NOT happen for a reason (I'm speaking of a divine intelligence reason way beyond our comprehension)? Or do you believe that things utterly happen by chance?
