the earths population is drastically dropping..... so many ppl have died and are dying..
i was watching ophrah winfrey's primetime show yesterday and was crying most of the time... Yesterdays episode was only about hurricane katrina and how so many ppl are still suffering even after the hurricane was gone. Many still didnt get medical attention and families were separated .. seeing people crying and lost... and without any help.
The number of natural disasters seem to be on the rise... from the tsunami in Asia, to the hurricane in America and now the earthquake at S.Asia... this has caused many to die and left the survivors helpless... I didnt feel so much untill i saw for myself how people are suffering at other parts of the world, and i am in safe singapore, enjoying the aircon watching the show.
I knew about the disasters, happening but for me life still continued.. Seeing other people suffering and me still alive without any losses made me feel that my life is so lucky. I knew all along that the life i am living is very fortunate but it didnt cross my mind that i could help to make another life happier. Living in singapore which is so safe made it looked so far from the disasters that i thought i wasnt necessary to help. What the newspapers report about the situation is only a small portion of what is happening. We all know that relief efforts are constantly being done, but there are other situations that didnt get reported, like how many are left to die because resources are more worth spent on those that can be saved.
Wondering why there have been so many natural disasters happening throughout the world, could it be the cause of our actions? like the butterfly effect which causes a hurricane? or the intense digging in the earth that cause an earthquake? It could just be that God is punishing us. Well i dont know. What i know is that i should try and at least help those in need and live my life more satisfactory knowing that what i have now is much more then what others have.
