From a optimistic perspective, disasters like these also have some of the most positive affects on people. They bring out the deepest compassion in humanity. After the shock and other first reaction characteristics wear off, so many begin to devotedly search for what they can do to help the victims.
Additionally, it gives the rest of us a humbling reminder of how fortunate we are for what we have. Life is not something to be taken for granted.
