The author was moved by seeing an old woman searching for her ancestral tablet after the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, rather than money or possessions. This showed the woman's strong spiritual values and connection to her ancestors despite losing her home. The author admired how the Japanese and international community came together to help tsunami victims through donations and cooperation, showing the warm love and strong spirit of the Japanese people in overcoming difficulties. The author concludes that while natural disasters can destroy lives and material things, they cannot destroy human love or the desire to live, and that showing compassion for others proves that disasters are ultimately defeated by human connection.
