You don't live in The Matrix. This isn't Inception. James Cameron isn't directing your life. If you keep comparing natural disasters that you view on your television to blockbuster films, then I question your imagination. That means it's time to turn off your screens, all of them—TV, computer, tablet, smartphone.
Go for a walk. Visit a museum or the library or your city park. Order a coffee or a hot chocolate and hang out in the coffee shop until you finish drinking it. Ride your bike. Chat with your neighbors. But, for the love of God, quit complaining about how unreal everything around you seems.

I had the same thoughts yesterday as I heard the word "surreal" used often by Americans as they describe their experiences during the earthquake.
I am glad I was reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle during all of this for reasons you have eloquently described.
