Tsunami
This is not a personal blog, I dont usually write what affects me on a daily basis ..
However, sadness and helplessness have overtaken me today, to a surprisingly great extent.I seem to be struggling today by the ernomity of it.. Some personal hapennings, the depressing weather in this part of the world and the tsunami have all taken their toll.
Its almost a cliche' to say that at these times you feel that we are a pretty insignificant part of creation as a whole. It also rattles your faith, that if there is a God, why does he allow this to happen and allows it to happen to the poorest, the most helpless of his creations. What did they do to deserve this ? Shouldnt there be some kind of cosmic justice after all ? Some kind of order to the life that we live ? Can we be all selfish and not think about it as it didnt happen to us ?

Sad to see that a number of Tsunami scams that have cropped up. How rotten to prey on the misfortunes of others by cheating the good and generous. Shame!
[Sumedha] Thanks for commenting and adding me as a link on your blog ! Yes, maybe there is a grand plan in all this too, how can we mere humans understand it at all :)
[Hirak] Yes shameful indeed, deplorable even if you consider that its also rumoured to be a dream destination for a pedophile now with so many destitute children.
