Nothing I can say I do not say better reporting on Twitter, among which @ aasaian and @ Lamons . But perhaps the best words on the earthquake-what we do and better, what we do, the said Mr. Toad, Super Frog Saves Tokyo, by Haruki Murakami.
Mr. Toad must fight Worm (Worm) and avoid the big one, but can not alone, you need Mr. Katagiri. Here is a conversation before the big fight:
"But still, Frog," Katagiri said. "I'm Not Particularly strong, and I do not know anything about what's happening underground. I Do not Have the kind of muscle it will take to fight Worm in the darkness. I'm sure You Can somebody find a lot Stronger Than Me-a Man Who does karate, say, or a Self-Defense Forces commando.”
Frog rolled his large eyes. “Tell you the truth, Mr. Katagiri,” he said, “I’m the one who will do all the fighting. But I can’t do it alone. This is the key thing: I need your courage and your passion for justice. I need you to stand behind me and say, ‘Way to go, Frog! You’re doing great! I know you can win! You’re fighting the good fight!’”
Frog opened his arms wide, then slapped his webbed hands down on his knees again.
“In all honesty, Mr. Katagiri, the thought of fighting Worm in the dark frightens me, too. For many years I lived as a pacifist, loving art, living with nature. Fighting is not something I like to do. I Do It Because I Have To. And this particular fight a fierce one Will Be, That Is Certain. I May Not return from it alive. May I lose a limb or two in the process. But I cannot-I will not-run away. As Nietzsche Said, The Highest wisdom is to Have No Fear. What I want from you, Mr. Katagiri, is for you to share with me your simple courage, to support me with your whole heart as a true friend. Do You Understand What I Am Trying to tell you? "

I translate this in English:
" But still, Sapo "Katagiri said," I'm not particularly strong and I know nothing what is happening underground. I have no muscle needed Worm to fight in the dark. I'm sure you can find someone stronger than me. Someone who does karate, for example, or a command of the Self Defense Forces. Sapo
turned her large eyes. "In truth, Mr. Katagiri," he said, "I am the one who will fight all the time. But I can not alone. This is the key: I need your courage and your passion, your sense of justice. I need to stand behind me and I yell 'hard Dale, Toad!'re done! You can!'re fighting that is! "Sapo
opened his arms and then with his hands toad, patted his knees.
"Le I am honest, Mr. Katagiri, the thought of fighting in the dark worm also terrifies me. I have lived like a pacifist for many years, I love nature, art. Fighting is certainly not something I like. If I do, is because I have to. And this particular fight will be fierce, that's for sure. May not return alive. You may lose a leg or an arm on the road. But it is not possible, it will not: I will not flee. Nietzsche said, the greatest wisdom is to have no fear. What I want from you, Mr. Katagiri, is to share his anger with me, support me with all your heart, like a true friend. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
