the past week or so, only 1 topic remains on everyone's mind. the earthquake that shook japan, bringing with it a tsunami, and causing nuclear plants waiting to melt down.
japan. such a famous country. show anyone a scene of the famous pedestrian crossing of tokyo, the one where everyone from every direction cross at the same time, they would know its japan. 3rd biggest economy in the world if im not wrong, famous for all the technology advancement, famous for the toyotas, for the playstation, for final fantasy.
one wld think that with such advancement, nothing can bring down this 1st world country. nothing but the act of God. its just saddening to see the scenes on the news. water everywhere, cars on roof, ships washed ashore, people trapped, debris everywhere. if you think that was bad enough, the nuclear plants near the quake are now facing potential meltdown. with this catastrophe looming, most people wld have been at their limits already. sadly that's not the end of the story. power cut all over the country (like sony has to shut down the server for final fantasy mmorpg to save power) because nuclear contribute to 30% of their power, sub zero temperature, snow, and potential after shocks with the next few days.
im sure japan can pull thru, just like new orleans, just like what christchurch is going to, just like haiti. though it may be hard now, but from disasters, heroes are born. the love shown to others by these people is definitely encourage people to overcome this hurdle.
1 Cor 13: And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
