Isn't it time people start realising something is terribly terribly wrong. There are too many coincidences to say that every disaster is merely once in a lifetime. *knock knock* they are ALL in THIS lifetime. Just in case no one noticed that the greatest so forth catastrophes have all occurred within the last four years, intertwined man made and natural. Each and everytime, we see communities growing stronger and together, an outpouring of support and 'rare' 'selfless' kindness. *cough* yeah, I'm a cynic......true selflessness do not require recognication nor will the people behind it need their names papered throughout the world. The loans and supplies aid given by celebrities for example......Katrina disaster on the US east coast? Yeah by now we know that Lisa Marie Presley, Joan Travolta and his wife, Oprah, etc etc etc, yeah they were involved and had time to have a team of video and camera men following them. Hmm....nice use of equipment and manpower....
There are some positive results from the various disasters, we can truly see that human compassion has survived through the ages, still strong (not including negative emotions of anger and grief ^^)
Afterall, that little province in north Indonesia is 2/3 through the way of gaining independence, India and Pakistan are working together in Kashmir, the condition in Iraq...well........they were suppose to have a constitution by now....anti nuclear talks have restarted with North Korea...hmm, maybe maybe...
Still, if there aren't going to be some drastic changes, I'm betting conditions will worsen around the world. Come look at it.
Four years ago, the New York twin towers collapsed in the first major terrorist attack in the western world, major because it happened on American soil and they basically ignored the 40years of terrorism in the middle east but I digress. Since then, we've had the war in Iraq, and seen the division of the world akin to the Cold war although obviously didn't make as much difference. Two years ago, south and south east asia was devastated by an unexpected tsunami which hit over 10 countries and islands, and affected the world over by the death count. Interesting link, the tsunami nondiscriminatorily affected the muslim community in Indonesia, the Indian in India, the multicultural in Malaysia and so on, then echoed itself in hurricanes lashing along the US east coast this year, where Christianity accounts for 60% of the affiliated religion? Did I forget to mention the bombings in Bali? Also bout a month ago, earthquake struck the area around Pakistan.....well, certainly regardless of race and religion, people still died. About time someone realised that some higher power has seen the way we act upon earth, and decided to retaliate. About time we realise there are no differences between lives.
Hard enough with people having to go through their daily lives, studying, working, raising children, life's ups and downs. Now to be reminded that yeah, we create catastrophes, it'll happen right back at us.....that's life........
