What else can trigger an earthquake? That is the question

Letters

HUMAN beings are inquisitive and curious by nature.
When something unusual or unexpected happens, we set our mind to task trying to understand the relationship between cause and effect. We may at times probe the deepest depths of our own mind to find the answers to some of our most nagging questions.
When everything that we hold dear is at stake, we swing into action by deploying all the technological tools of innovation at our disposal to prevent doom or calamity.
I guess that is very much a part and parcel of our natural and intellectual tendency.
We have been controlling and bringing under our dominion almost everything that is connected, one way or another, to our existence in this world.
We have been thinking all along that we were masters endowed with unlimited freedom to shape the destiny of our planet.
What we do not seem to understand is that our existence is happening along an existential continuum. Humans grope for answers as soon as they step into the unknown. That is where God is and he wants us to know our bounds and limitations.
Some things in this world will remain a mystery.
We will never be able to understand why some things or events happen the way they do.
Right now across our land people are talking about the massive earthquake which wreaked havoc in the two highlands provinces and dramatically brought the multi-billion dollar LNG project to a standstill.
Earthquakes, as far as we can scientifically explain, are triggered by movements of the tectonic plates.
Until a comprehensive investigation is carried out to determine the actual cause of the recent violent earthquake, what an individual chooses to believe with some degree of regret or conviction is something that we must let it be for now.
