Mother Nature…

It feels kinda weird that i havent mentioned the Tsunami’s yet. I’ve spent more time thinking about other things and other events that affect me directly; Honestly i feel helpless to do anything about it. I know the campus will be holding some events, and hopefully i can do something then; but still…

Its kinda like September 11, i’m so close to it, and yet so seperated. Am i jaded? desensitized to the events? What could the every day events in my life compare to the one day in which Mother Nature’s sharp fangs ripped a hole into the psyche of Human Life? And yet i go on, complaining about my low pay.. my mediocre job. I worry about my bills and grumble about co-workers who seem to have it easy. I ponder what i will eat, and worry about how i will afford Grad School.

Life as usual…

Part of me feels we deserved it… well not necessarily those people in particular; but the human race. How long can we go about neglecting nature and its awesome strength? how long can we go about our daily lives believing that we are the ones in control of the earth, when in fact we are but a speck on its surface…

Just take a look here

Its a sad tale, so much death and sadness and pain. I feel blessed and guilty at the same time. Blessed that it didnt happen to me.. blessed that i dont know anyone directly hurt, and blessed that i can still go about my mundane life. I feel guilty that while i will give my meager donation of money, food, clothes.. whatever; that it wont be a focus of my day.. i will still wake up in the morning, lying in my warm comfy bed… My TV blazing the morning news. I’ll make myself some breakfast, look out at the foggy weather and complain about having to goto work.
