Tidal Wave...

I don't know where this thought came from, but I suppose it's sprung from me living by-the-sea and the probably unfounded fear every person who lives by-the-sea has: I thought that if a tidal wave was coming towards land, a really big one (say, 500 ft high), that people outdoors would instinctively run into shelter, their homes or cars or whatever they could find, whilst probably knowing deep down, that they're going to perish anyway. Isn't this a bit like, or couldn't somebody compare it to the reaction many people have when they see Death coming, even from afar? They run into organizations or religions that they believe offer them "shelter", but deep down many must know that they're going to perish anyway, to paraphrase Solomon, all are equal in Death because nobdy can escape, or be sheltered, from it. "Millions now living will never die" was an unqualified lie, as millions now living will never know.
