Reflection:
It seems remarkable how something as simple as a stone can mean so much. These stones (however ruined they may seem) provide a
safeguard for the surrounding society. I find it astounding that regardless of
their meaning and their accuracy to predict future catastrophe, people still
ignore their message and build beyond the perimeter of safety; but at what
cost? Many who do build beyond these stones die, and those who don’t, incur
great loss. There seems to be no laws restricting development; just a long
history of knowledge and an applied message; perhaps this needs to change. Alternative
methods need to be employed in order to educate people of the ‘live-able’
boundary and stop them from committing (for lack of a better term) suicide.
