A few days ago, an earthquake took place at 8.9 magnitude in Japan. It was devastating, and a very sad event. The country is the world's most advanced in technology, but lo and behold, they cannot do anything against the natural disasters.
At times like these, I am left to wonder about life and how fleeting it is. Those who died in the calamity are not the most evil people in the world, the Japanese people are generally honest and respectable people if I may say so, yet their lives were taken away just like that.
Perhaps, this is a chance for all the people in the world to reflect on their lives, and realize, that when death comes, you come to realize that riches will make no sense at all when your life is suddenly taken away. (I of course am referring to corrupt people who amass wealth unlawfully)... This may come off as a little preachy I know, but just think about it.
Man can never control his life after all...
As for Japan, it's scary. But I believe in their goodness, and their strong bond with each other as a community. They could go through it. God bless them!
