Lets give hope to the living and pray for the dead.

It must be the bad karma of Japan and that is why there is so much disasters in the country especially after the 2nd world war. Japan is a very mountainous and lack of mineral resources. The torturous terrains have force the people to struggle for survival and became adventurous and resourceful.  What they don't have , they make it up by creativity and development. The hardship and the toughen  spirit have make the country a world economic power.  The Japanese corporations have expanded out of Japan into many continents and countries.  The country became an advance country in term of export earnings, world class infra structure and high living standards.

The country is lying in the axis of fire  which have many earthquakes  and tremors.  In past, the country have suffered several severe earthquakes and tsunami and the country manage to recover and improve. This time the earthquake in Sandai bring along a very special consequences, the damaged nuclear facilities at Fukushima. According to the latest news, more than 20,000 people either die or missing. Based on the experience Acheh, those missing must probably have been suck in by the tsunami and could not be found again. Although, about three hundred engineers have re-connect the power line but they might need time to confirm that the facilities is still operational. The bad news is that there is already radiation leak which have contaminated the vegetables and milk. As days goes by, the radiation leak will get more and more severe. Although, the Japanese Government have said that the radiation have no deadly effect on human beings, there is a suspicion that the Japanese Government have not told the public of the whole truth. There is a lack of transparency and this is the worrying point.

Although, there is a certain resentments against what the Japanese have did in the second world war, the common people have no fault. When disasters like the tsunami in Sandai happens, we will realized the world is connected and several charity organizations have started their activities to collect funds for the victims. Funds are coming in from all over the world and this illustrate the connectedness of the people  in this world. The scenes of the disaster area and of the suffering of the people was shown in the media and so many people of different fate and religion start to pray for the dead  and pray for the hope of discovering more people alive. The affected area will take many years to recover especially those in the path of the radiation. 

So much for now while the danger persisted.  So, we have to gather today to pray for the dead to rest in peace and pray for the people who is missing and lying in suffering while hoping to be found. Everything is fated and what is going to happen , will happen.  If you don't go out in the open , you have any equal chance of dying against people who is always going in the open.  Where you are is not the issue but what is destine will happen.  Don't let this worry stops you for living your life and be happy.  We may grief for the dead but we have to accept that it has happen.  When a big storm struck at night, there would be many type of leaves on the floor the next morning.  The old and the young and beautiful leaves  while the old and weak is still clinging on the branches. Whose turn to go is destined.

Namaste.
