Tsunami Thoughts
Compared to what I've seen from the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean in the past week or so, I've never had a bad day in my life. All of my problems pale to insignificance against such a tragedy.
It has been equally edifying to see the mobilization of aid from around the world. This was a tragedy that seems to have moved the whole world. And what a tragedy! No shock-and-awe bombing campaign can begin to compare in destructive power to what nature did December 26, 2004. We human beings are puny compared with the forces of nature, and every time we think we are more powerful, nature shows us better.
There is really nothing to do but applaud the human spirit that comes together in this tragedy. There is nothing to do but applaud the resilient human spirit that perseveres in such difficult circumstances as the survivors are facing.
