I cannot help but to react on what just happened to Japan. The earthquakes and tsunamis are heart breaking not because I have friends in Japan, but more of mother nature getting back on how we treat her for the past few decades.
Seeing different wall posts in facebook where they are only concern on their own race, I cannot help but to see how selfish humans are in nature. Calamity strikes and there are a lot of people who are affected so rather than just pray for your own race, why not pray for everyone affected. Adding them to your prayers will only take a few seconds of your time. Rather than focusing on the selfish nature of being human, try to be more humane by showing more sympathy.
Next point to discuss, is the issue of saying bad things about the Japanese by posting videos that Japanese are killing sharks or dolphins. They are not the only people who are doing those things. Try to look at your own backyard and see if you are that holy and clean. Saying that mother nature is attacking Japan as a payback is quite out of line. Killing sharks or dolphins are indeed bad, but have others considered that throwing trash in the river or sidewalk is also bad? How disciplined are those people to point fingers at others? It is sad to see the crab mentality of humans even when our own race is in need of our help.
The moment I saw what had happened, I automatically saw this as a sign from mother nature that we should do our part in preserving what is left. Pollution, over population, illegal loggers, and more are man made problems that can be solved but we are just to stubborn to make a move. Would it kill you to not throw a simple candy wrapper in the street and wait till you see a trash can? Would it be too much to not cut down trees or at least plant some trees in replacement? The issue of global warming has been there for years. Funny how humans react only when they are forced to or only when things are way out of bound. Some may think that their contributions maybe small compared to the problem at hand. But still, I say that one can make a difference or at least you did your part. People would always wait for others to do their part before they stand up and start doing their own responsibility.
I do hope people will wake up sooner than mother nature's wraith.
