Driving in the middle of the rain,
I feel how comfoie and silly we are...
we are so safe and secure in N. America, in our nice car and home...
and always complain about our little rain and run into our houses ducking out heads in...
where on the other side of the world, this rain maybe their life, their only source of clean water for the moment,
or it will make them even more colder cause they have been living outside for the past weeks, with fears of another servere storm mounting up on the weekend in Burma
When I see on TV how a whole village of children lost their parents, just there crying the whole way without saying much, but it is already a big enough message and tears starts to break out...
pictures of children buried under collapsed buildings,news of how a village had lost a whole generation of youth because of a break down of a school during the day, how their parents will feel with their only child gone...
stories of how soldiers walked for 13 hours just to get to remote villages to help the homeless and needed...
how some ppl still arguing if we still need to help China cause they are already so rich and can take care of themselves...
how come ppl can still turn this disaster into something very political and use it to blame the government of China...where are our hearts?? still have room to talk about boycotting someone in the midst of this??
maybe because there are too much bombarments from too many wars and disasters that we already start to feel numb, and just give ourselves a very good excuses, there are just too many of them, what can I do about it, no use just helping one or two of them...imagine one of them is your relative, just one, not much, will you change your mind then?
Please do what you can, donate to diff NGO that are able to help out, care for ones that lost their loved ones... if does make a difference...
Or you can come support this event this coming Friday.
Even just a mere presence is a support...
