Been reading a lot on the disasters that struck Myanmar and China. I can’t help but feel sad for the plight that the people are facing…
Heart-wrenching stories after stories… and I’ve never been so moved to tears… But more often than ever, the stories of the earthquakes tugged my heart strings more than the stories of the cyclone… Don’t get me wrong… Both disasters have a devastating outcome… Just that I guess I ain’t reading enough of what’s happening in Myanmar…
Many are left dead, or missing after the disasters. It’s saddening to watch the old people mourn the passing of their younger kin…their kids… and their relatives… We can lose all the material that we own or have… but we can’t afford the price to lose our love ones…
My deepest sympathy and condolences goes to all the young ones, the missing, as well as the orphaned children… Some are left with no surviving next of kin… In one instance, many perished. Life is fragile yet precious indeed.
These leave me pondering, are Man responsible for all these ? What triggers such a global reaction to these disasters ? Have we been doing our best to preserve what Mother Nature has given to us? Oh well…
Time and again has proven that Man are responsible for everything He does… Which just goes to show, responsibility comes a tad too late.
I count my blessings to be here in Singapore, save from natural disasters.
I pray that the survivors will overcome their fear and lead a normal life again… though things will never be the same again, I hope they will be able to move on…
