This region is rich in natural resources, but the reality is that nature never sides with anyone when it's angry. Nature also has a way of getting closer to its inhabitants. Earthquakes, flash floods, tsunamis, and landslides have brought deep pain and sorrow to the people of Aceh. When the land loses its footing, it seems as if nature is enraged by the power of those in power. When the land loses its support, it will visit whatever it desires.
A single situation can change many things: possessions, homes, livelihoods, and even lives become easily snatched by flash floods. The chaotic scene in the picture demonstrates the enormity of the water's devastating power in the local area. Vehicles are damaged, the ground is dusty, and residents struggle with the damage. This is not a traffic accident, but rather chaos caused by human activity.
The fragility of natural defenses in the dense forest creates flooding and a devastating threat to the surrounding community. However, the question remains: who is responsible for this incident, and who is irresponsible for the destruction of the local environment? Could the king of the forest have given the order for planned logging, or could the king in government have a corrupt nature that kills his fellow man in the context of "money for me, flood for you?"
Ignored spatial planning, deforested forests, and shallow rivers are among the answers to what is happening today. Because when balance is lost, something that is usually large and considered powerful loses control and dignity. Look at how big and imposing that tanker truck is. But when nature loses its balance, anything can happen with its power.
Trauma always comes to ordinary people who lose their possessions, homes, vehicles, families, and even their dreams. This should not just be a disaster, but also a warning to continue maintaining the natural spatial management system. Because, essentially, nature will never be hostile to humans; it only demands respect. Let us leave what is hers for her, and everything that is ours also comes from her.
