Revolution/Revelation
So Japan’s worst tragedy since WW2. I think it’s pretty ironic that about 50 years ago, millions of people shunned the country. Now, the whole world’s coming together to save it. Talk about karma ya.
I can’t imagine what I would be feeling, and what I’d do if I was part of the nation that got hit by the earthquakes and tsunamis. I literally can’t think of an action plan on what to do. And for the aftershocks, and the radioactive rain. I think sometimes we’re so comfortable where we live that we can’t grasp the magnitude of the situation. I can’t watch CNN cause it’s too painful to see and I think part of me just can’t face up to what’s happened. But the wars in Libya, the fall of the stock market 3 years ago and all these natural disasters from Japan to Australia have really got me thinking.
I read this book once about a girl who tried to kill herself. She didn’t succeed and ended up in a mental institution with heavy surveillance in case she tried to do it again. It was in the hospital that she fell in love, made friends and realised that there was so much worth living for. I’m not going to spoil the story and talk about the ending but since reading that, I can’t get the idea of savouring every piece of life out of my mind. The recent events have just skyrocketed it to a whole new level.
I think I could live in the time of (and alongside) The Beatles, when everything was all about fighting for peace and choosing to do things simply because you believe in it.
And as if there’s not enough going on, today I found out that one of my friends got cheated on by her boyfriend. He should be burned at the stake.
