Haiti ...

There are not many events in one part of the world that can grab the attention of near enough the whole world. Usually they are not good news, well it is never good news if the whole world tunes into it.

Haiti, a Carribean country's capital Port-Au-Prince on 12th January has experiences a Earthquake bringing devastation to the hundreds and thousands of people, family and friends as over 150,000 were killed. This left agonising sleepless nights of pain, depression, denial, guilt and lifelessness for those that have been left behind without those they care about or love for. The incident has wiped up all houses levaing majority homeless, and now they bunk out in a camp where there is not even enough space to walk two steps.

The last time I saw al ive coverage of the living condition of the camp actually made me realise how lucky we all can be, and can also mean that we should not take our lives for granted. It is important for people like us to care and there are many in the world, because without us - those who survived would not have a life right now. Although, you do see many in pain and agony as they lie there on a bed; bandaged up, but the most depressing thing is that the doctors had to come to a conclusion to help those who actually had a chance to live and leave those who cannot. We may belive that it is socially and morally wrong to follow that decison but it is the lesser of two evils and a much better option since they are low on supplies.
We can be selfish and self-centred at some point of our lives, but if we come to a sense where we donate money to a particular cause then we must be a good person. That is wrong, there are those who sincerely donate money to a cause but then there are those who follow, there is a difference and I know which one I am. Do you?

This cause will be remembered in the History of natural causes such as Tsunami and I wish those people every luck in dealing with their grieve and hope they have the strength to see past this......
