What do the recent earthquakes mean for us?

Earthquake Questions
With there now being 5 earthquakes to hit within about a weeks time, what does that mean for us? Is this some sort of sign? Should we be worried about more earthquakes in the coming days?
Not trying to get all paranoid here, but its worrying me. I’ve never heard of earthquake activity like this before, just one after another. It makes me wonder if something is wrong. And I also wonder, since these earthquakes are happening along this fault line, if something can happen around that fault line, like for instance, something splitting in two?

It’s nothing unusual. After a big quake there’s always a bunch of smaller ones by which the Earth (i.e. its tectonic plates) settles down. Look at the link below and you’ll see that in the last month, almost all the quakes occurred along the fault lines, and the rest of them occurred around volcanic mountains.
The Earth core is constantly moving and it’s been happening for tens of millions of years, it’s just that it’s moving a little more obviously in the last several days. Nothing to be really worried about (unless you live near an active fault line)

i think that we should be worried because i know that people say it is okay for this to happen, but how will it affect us. Will all these earthquakes soon affect us or will this just continue to stay away from us and stay along the faluts.Some people believe in the 2012 prediction, so is it possible for it to happen?

i am convinced after todays 6.9 china earthquake that the world is slowly crumbling and on 2012 were all doomed theres too much evidence to deny it
