Japan's most powerful earthquake in centuries struck yesterday, triggering fires, deadly 10m (33ft) waves and tsunami alerts across at least 20 countries.By last night, the death toll was estimated at more than 1,000, most of them drowned – a toll which looks sure to rise significantly in the coming hours and days with many thousands reported missing. And fears about potential nuclear disaster were raised when emergencies were declared at two plants. One was planning to release radioactive vapour to ease pressure on the reactor. (read more here)
I watch the news last night and I was so speechless when the Tsunami sweeping away houses, cities, cars or whatever in its path without mercy! I only can imagine the aftermath, when peoples frantically searching for their loves ones, screaming for help, weeping over the disaster...What is happening to our world?
My father said, maybe this is the end of the world (sigh). I cannot help myself thinking is it really a sign for all of us? Coverage, pictures and videos flows on the internet right now about the disaster and I am sure more will comes in a few days. But frankly speaking I don't have a heart to watch it, let alone search the news for now...because it is overwhelming and it is hard for me to accept what is happening. You can say whatever you want, but thats how I feel right now.
Since the disaster is not happening in our place, it may be a relief except for those who have relatives in Japan. But don't forget, it may affect us as well economically. Just look at the Egyptian crisis. Whether we realized it or not, the crisis have contributed in pushing the price of crude oil. So, back to the Japan's tragedy...when disaster struck, what we can do about it? If only I am a millionaire, I will send materials and money to help the victims. Anyway, here is a few things what we can do...
1. Be grateful we live in Malaysia, so don't take it for granted.
2. Live life to the fullest and don't forget to give thanks everyday in your life because we might not know when will God decide that it is the end of days to our world...
3. Pray for the Japanese, support them with your pray. Their loses is unthinkable but I hope they can recover from the tragedy...
PS : Sorry, no book to share today...
satu dugaan maha dahsyat untuk jepun dan negara-negara yang sama mengalaminya..
