Crazy Calamities..

Very recently,2 really devastating natural disasters occured to our neighbouring Asians..with Myanmar being struck by Cyclone Nargis which apparently caused the deadliest natural disaster ever in the recorded history of Myanmar..and just 10 days later,a 7.9 Ritcher-scaled earthquake rocked China,where crippling blizzards just occured earlier this year.

We are indeed blessed to live in Malaysia where we are protected from most of these calamities except the freak tsunami which occured during boxing day 2004.Even then the many casualties and damage of property we experienced during that time are statistically considered little if compared to the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives in other parts of the world.I'm not belittling any of the loss and pain experienced by those who are directly affected by the tsunami which hit our country unexpectedly..there must be a lot of untold grief and suffering to all those who are involved and I really respect those who could still get on with their lives despite their loss.What I'm trying to convey is we should appreciate the fact that we are spared from what could potentially be disasters at a much larger scale that could affect even greater numbers of people.

Amidst the tonnes of rubble in Myanmar and China,I really hope that many more people are still alive and could be extricated in time..time is very short indeed for these people..Since I'm not in a real position to help out or what same for most of you people too I think..I hope it is not too much to ask that everyone spares a bit of their time to pray or just spare a thought for the victims,their loved ones,the rescuers,and all those who are involved in both of these tragedies.Here's one for the human spirit!
