Is the world Falling Apart?

I'm living in a safe place. There are no wars in Taiwan, at least not for now and there 18 years that I've lived in Taiwan. There are also only little natural disasters in Hsinchu. The earthquake was always more serious in the middle or southern part of Taiwan, and the typhoon was always more serious in the more northern and eastern part. Therefore, I've only seen or heard about the wars and disasters on the television or on the newspaper. Hence, I've never felt that the world is falling apart.
However, I still know that the natural disasters did took away lots of lives. The 921 earthquake, South Asia tsunami, 88 flood, and hurricanes in the US are all examples of natural disasters that caused a lot of death. Many lives are taken away by the natural disasters, but I don't think that people's thoughts are changed as much as it was during the world wars. Wars are human fighting against human, but natural disasters are just human against something that we could never control. This is different, and I don't think it causes the world to fall apart.
