Triple diasasters &... What are we doing?

Japan has been tragically hit by 3 disasters ( 2 from Mother Nature, Earth Quake and Tsunami and 1 due to human, Nuclear Plant on fire ). Its pretty heart wretching to watch or hear on a day by day basis, how many families have lost their homes, their loves ones, though there are some heart warming news, like how a 4-month-old baby was rescued and reunited with her parents.

Then came the usual pleads for helps, donations and of cos, the utmost respects to the Japanese for handling the disasters so calmly. And the many people that tries to contact their families or trying to catch a plane to get out of Japan for fear of the nuclear radiation.

Everywhere, you can hear symphathetic people claiming that if they could, they would, try to go there and help. They only claim. Those are only words. Actions speaks louder than words. They ( The ones that are rich and capable of spending on branded goods and good food, go restaurants to eat ) are willing to donate a few bucks but not willing to shell out more to buy a plane ticket and headed straight down to where the epic center of the disasters. I too, can claimed that I wished to help but I lack of money. ( Which in my case, is pretty much the truth, since I am always asking how to earn more money and left with barely like $200 to my name for this month? Partly my own fault in managing my salary but I am trying to improve on that.)

Everywhere, people are concerned, that is definate, but to which aspects? That the Japan will recover soon ( I am sure there are many sincere wishers out there and those are probably the ones helping in the danger zone now or are citizens of Japan or somehow or other, they had favours done to them by the Japanese ), for me, I too wished that my sensei and her relatives are safe. She's a wonderful woman, pleasant and jovial. But I think more attention is concentrated on the Nuclear plants, whether if the plants will explode and thus distribute more harm to the other populations.

So, what are we doing? Other than being caught-up-in-the-moment of time, giving like 20-30mins to chase the news, using it as a upcoming lunch topic, are we not still doing the same as we did everyday before the disasters arrived? ( Of cos, there are pranksters that take the chance in this to send out mass scare to others , just grow up already.)

I am truly impressed by a 1 million dollars donation from a single 24 years old that I saw on news yesterday. True, she's giving money out, but its not an amount you can sneeze at. Well, judging the fact that she's from a rich family... But at least she offered it! She can choose not to but here she is, donating this amount to the poor victims. Kudos to her. I doubt I might even ever make that amount in years =x

Not trying to sound unsympathatic here ( which, if anyone reads this might probably slam me anyway for speaking out what I think ), but I am trying hard to make ends meet. Sure, I do feel sorry for them, no one deserve to go through what they going through now, and even thought what if it happens to me ( most likely the citizens here do not hold as much dignity as those in Japan and I am willing to bet a huge chaos will be created and slow down the process of healing ), and other than this, what else can I do?

And before judging me, what have you done for the victims? If nothing, you are no better off than me. If you have donated some money, good for you! You just did a little more than me =x But my respect is still to those who are out there right now, at this very moment, assisting those in needs. They are the heros.

As for the self-righteous type ( unless you think you are one that I am referring to ), don't boast as if you did them a tremedous favour by donating a small amount. There are plenty of people that needs help throughout the world ( not only in Japan ) like those poor kids that are starving and in need of nutrients. If you self-righteous type thinks that you are a saint or that holy, please go out and help someone now and not sit here and read my rants, getting angry and thinking or even doing the rebutting here.
