its not about praying anymore

11 march, japan had a 9.0 earthquake.
from the moment i learnt of it, i could not concentrate on my lecture at all
i knew the destruction would be great.
i knew they were in it for a disaster
and whats worse, a tsunami had to hit them too.
like what my friend said, u can build earthquake-resistant buildings but you cannot build tsunami resistant buildings.
how true.
and not just buildings that are not resistant, humans are even more not resistant towards disasters that involve water.
i think it is the tsunami that caused so much casualties.
as soon as the tsunami receded, thousands of bodies can be found in miyagi's shore.
what were these people thinking during their last moments of their lives when they thought they had a glimmer of hope to survive after the earthquake.
how many people lost their families and loved ones?
how many of them have to build their homes from scratch again?
how many people of those who died had a bright future in front of them?

i am affected by the earthquake.
and i think affected would be an understatement.
i really worry for them.
i really worry for their safety, their health and whether they have enough food, electricity to get by.
i am so scared.
i have never doubted the power of mother nature.
but why, why japan.
and why even until now, the aftershocks still refuse to stop?
i feel helpless and i feel angry at myself for being unable to do anything
i would do anything to be in japan and just help to save people
and i feel so angry at those insensitive people who says that japan deserve this and they should experience an earthquake of a even greater magnitude than this.
they are totally senseless.
please let everything stop. just stop.
