  "account": "Disasters always bring about a simple question: who is responsible for the calamity? In the case of a Himalayan disaster, the scale of blame should be enormous. Politicians, however, enjoy the easy game of pointing fingers at someone else, rather than taking responsibility themselves.\n\nIt's not difficult to make accusations against the victims, as it costs nothing and doesn't harm one's reputation. The burden lies with the victim to prove or disprove the charges. One can only imagine what thoughts went through the Nepalese foreign minister's mind when he blamed other countries for the deadly flash floods. Was he thinking about the three generations - Gen Z, Millennials, or Gen X - or was he simply relaying his concerns to the world?\n\nRegardless of his intentions, the mountains, rocks, trees, glaciers, and rivers are fortunate to have escaped the blame game. Nobody asked why the rivers flowed so forcefully, and no one demanded compensation from the natural world. The Himalayas, the home of snow, are like a vigilant eye and ear, watching over everything that occurs within their domain. Intruders must tread carefully!",
