China Earthquake

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Victor Marie Hugo

 

Only in times of adversity do we show the finest and truest human spirit. Hundreds and thousands of soldiers from the Chinese army, fighting against time to save the children buried under the rubble. Every single child saved raises the spirit of the rescue team, cheers and words of encouragement flowed through the crowd. Every parent waiting anxiously, hoping and praying to hear news about their loved ones.

 

So touching. I held my breathe as I watched them carry the little boys/girls out. Some had broken limbs, some are barely conscious.

 

Whatever problem I have now is nothing compared to the sufferings endured by them. We are really fortunate to be just here. I'm fortunate to be sitting here blogging, even though I very much wish I could be there to do my part as well.

 

Don't see people as what they are. Don't see the race/nationality/religion.

 

See me as a human.

 

Look at me and realise that I'm really the same as you.
