The Meaning Of Kindness

some actions of men really disgust me.

i don't need blood-spilling situations to arouse the anger and disappointments suppressed.

the devastating earthquake + tsunami + nuclear plant explosion catastrophe in Japan doesn't seem to wake the ignorance of the nations all around the world.

people just don't care about the sufferings the Japs are bearing.

yes, i do not deny the fact that relief funds are being raised, people are flying from half way around the world to rescue victims.

the whole world is talking about this Armageddon-like tragedy,

but it saddens me so much because the netizens are not doing their very least to ease this time of emergency.

people,

do you realize that the victims are actually trying to make calls to their family and friends just to make sure that they're ok?

telephone lines, the internet, undersea cables etc- almost all means of communication are severely affected

there and then i witness people visiting sites which are obscenely-loaded with multimedia like nobody's business.

some even loath the slowness and under-performance of the wireless line.

i mean, come on peeps!

give a chance for the victims to confirm their loved ones' safety!

i have friends in Japan and up till this day i still can't contact them.

do you know that kind of anticipation? the fear? the agony of over-worrying?

stop bullshitting about how much you can and intend to donate to the victims when you don't even learn to refrain yourself from surfing youtube, for instance.

it may seem insignificant if one person stop visiting these sites for the time being, but think the impact we can make if everyone come to their senses and give way for the Japs to make necessary calls to their loved ones?

don't get me wrong. i'm not against surfing the net totally.

it's not wrong to go on FB, check emails, youtube occasionally if necessary.

just don't over do it!

the message that i wish to convey is that let's refrain ourselves for the time-being. just a little while more to allow things to get better in Japan.

donation/charity need not to be solely in the form of $ and allow it to be some reasons for people to boast about their "generosity".

i believe we can show our concern through simple actions.

yet, many fail to realize the fact that small things matters most and start yapping about all the great, enormous things they intent to achieve.

when will there be a change in people's mentalities?

i hope we don't have to wait till THE day to realize that.
