JAPAN'S DISASTERS: THE KARMIC LAW?

ANDRES MIGUEL PASION


The wrath of nature an implementation of the Karmic Law?

We are humans and we grieve over those who perished in Japan's triple disasters: the 8.9 magnitude earthquate and the tsunami that killed, at the latest count, 20,000 people and its crippled nuclear plant--we can only surmise how long would that be when the first victims of radiation will be known.

But those who believe in mysticism, misteries if you will, and the karmic law and even the Biblical injunction about the wages of sins visiting the generations will attribute the country's misfortunes to the pre-ordained fate: Japan must pay the debts for its subjugation of people from Manchuria to Burma to Southeast Asian and the Philippines, where its brutal forces bayonetted children, burned and buried alive men and women, whom they also raped, in World War II and even before that global upheaval. All for the glory of Emperor Hirohito.
