Just another one of Tsunami

It’s really been a while.

I sincerely apologize (woo, not that this one is the reading ritual of anybody’s, all I know some buddies who do read but never left comments persistently asking for updates), so here it is.

By the way, I’m doing just fine. It was really the peak product delivery season in the industry, so y’know what I mean, I’ve been really busy.

Many had happened - a male ditching the bride 19 hours before go, and massive earthquake, and tsunami. And tsunami.

I admit my eyes didn’t blink watching the tv visuals of corpses being dug out from defecated scraps and pieces. The amount of deathtolls that increased day by day, you can actually see the facial expressions of the survivors during the aftermath of a disastrous tragedy of that kind, many of them had this glazed, blank look topped by an extreme sadness. It’s an undescribable look, it was terribly sad, they can’t cry, they can’t scream, they seemed to be way way too sad for all that.

Numbers of opinions we have around on this fated tragedy. Yes, societies everywhere are branching for helps and aids for the affected countries. SMS of all kinds are going around too, not to mention the articles of certain kinds trying to justify this act of God. During this time too, there are a lot of human behaviours that we can study. The benevolence, the no, sincereness or faux, the care or shit-giver, positiveness or just plain negativity. It seems that many matters can be categorized in two, there are always these positive and negative elements, or at least things according to your mentality and judgement.

And recently, I found myself in a conversation about the enthusiasm of some organizations (apparently some big ones were named) to be the host or collector upon tsunami funds or donations. It was highlighted by an individual that some organizations are actually taking percentage of the amount they have collected from the masses and it could be not small. Then, should this be true, the question that shall be raised is, “Are you sure your donations go to the right channel?” ie "Are the victims getting the donations?"

Well, back to my initial point, even during this time, there are so many debates and speculations going on towards the world’s help for tsunami victims. We are still not going to the tangent where some people are actually nominating themselves as the speakers of God saying that this is His punishment onto the victims. They pick lines from Quran, then translated them to force the meaning so that can be related to this incident as THEY see fit.

Yup, I do have lots of things in my head.

But then again, suddenly I realized that it is the control of one’s own individual. If only people could play their role and capitalize their responsibilities that have been trusted onto them, I’m sure many problems could be tackled, objectives can be achieved.

As of now, tsunami victims must be helped. With full loads of capacity. I believe this one disaster requires the biggest relief effort the world has ever seen.

Justifications, opinions, articles might make the reading materials something to look forward to, can bring some publishers good profit too, whether or not it helps that I don’t have a say. Then I think, it’s just back to ourselves. We want to help, we help. We just want to read and do nothing, everyone’s entitled to the way one’s choose. We want to help and at the same time making sure everybody knows, then the agenda is not only one now, but two.

All and all, there are loads of lessons can be learnt from this one tragedy. The lesson can even sound irrelevant to the incident, but that’s how life is. The possibilities of anything are simply endless.

I’m sure many of us are very disturbed, at the same time very grateful because at least to the small circle or ours, we’re still here writing and reading blogs.

Here’s to a better day.
