With the eruption of the "Chaiten" volcano, it's hard not to think about the destiny of all 4,000 people who live (or lived) in Chaiten. The truth is that, most of them have been evacuated, but right now, many people remain in the town - or even closer to the volcano - because they refuse to leave their belongings: their lands, their houses, their animals, and - above all -, what they've fought for for many years in their lives... it's extremely curious: The fact that most of those who refuse to leave, believe that it's God's will. Whatever happens to them, it's God's will.
So i've wondered... when the ashes fall from the sky, and cover it all in grey colour, how can someone still be faithful? How can someone still believe that, whatever it is that happens to you, it was in God's plan?
I honestly believe that humans are capable to do as much as they want to do, but it's hard not to feel overwhelmed by the power of nature at times. I dedicate this entry to all men and women who strongly believe in what they want, specially to the people suffering with Chaiten's eruption.
