Is it just me or are others feeling really sad and down since the earthquakes in Asia ? I mean, I have been pretty much trying to flip through CNN and other channels to get the latest news and coverage. I know disasters and death happen from time to time but this one at such a large scale has really taken up big time media coverage. Initailly, I was waking up at nights, just because all I could picture was dead bodies wrapped in white and mothers and fathers crying for their lost children. Its gotten better now, but I still wake up at nights feeling shaken.
At times, I feel helpless. I feel like I wanna be there to help but how many of us can actually go ? I have made some donations and am trying to help locally to sent forth food and clothes, but the guilt and sadness keeps coming back. Prayers are continuous for those that have lost so much as a result. But…what else can we do ?
Hippocrates once said “There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”
To translate:
Life is such. People die all the time. It is pretty sick to see people get upset when it’s on the news, but other wise they don’t give a damn. Bunch of laming noobs. Humanity by definition is a bunch of lamers. None of you care or think about the hundreds of people that die daily due to the lack of food, Aids, murder, rape. Suddenly it is on the news and everybody is a bloody humanitarian.
Yeah, so what if people are sad and upset and helping out. Would you rather they sit back and watch others die ? You need to get in with the team here.
You are seriously in need of help. Mind you, also a very bitter person from inside.
if u r wanting to volunteer and actually fly out to places like banda aceh, indonesia then i’d think it over seriously. seperatists rebels and the government have been fighting a civil war for a while now and the rebels have a base in the worst hit region of banda aceh. pretty dangerous but khidmat-e-khalk mein jo inaam allah :insha:] dein gai it’ll topple any worldy dangers.
all we can do i assume is donate vigourously, money, clothes. food and what have you and pray that we are saved from allah’s wrath + pray for the victims of the tidal wave disater
Thanks. I think he is in love with a keyboard.
