of round-the-clock news of the tsunami catastrophe?
1. at every turn of the head, i catch bulletins off the bbc world on the telly here at the workplace
2. at every web visit to my fave news sites, tickers running of updates
3. blog's going on and on about it
4. and then i received a well-meaning email from an aussie mate
i know there's so much human suffering as it is, but i'm totally *fed up* of having my senses bombarded by headlines ad nauseum.
and then there are those who go around proclaiming the tragedy is an act of god; and some christians lamenting how god could inflict such pain on us. i'd like to believe that nature's wreaking its revenge on us humankind for the unspeakable harm and destruction done towards it. for yonk's.
beyond utter comprehension, that? good. that'd shut some gob's up.
c'mon people, please put things in perspective. don't let those horrific pictures of crying children, parents grieving their losses, items that lost their owner's and suchlike prevent us from getting on with our lives.
just as long as we don't take our loved ones - and above all, life - for granted, eh?
as enscribed by the letter b @ January 5, 2005 09:20 AMhmm.. indeed. we've taken a lot from the sea, the land, the air. you name it, we owe nature alot.
as blahed by the letter b @ January 7, 2005 05:11 AMA relative summed it up nicely... he said, 'what we take from the sea, the sea has a way to take it back from us.'
