Rather than moan in every entry abt my woes from parents, work, lack of a boyfriend, etc, I've decided to talk abt what's happening around the world for a change... Am I doing this so as not to be so self-centered and himbotic??? *Laughs* Only I myself will know the truth... Provided if I actually face reality head on... Haha...
Anyway, let me jump on the bandwagon of [Asia]'s twin disaster... I wonder if [Mother Nature] hates this part of the world so much for it to bring so much death and destruction within such a short time... 1st there's [Cyclone Nagris], which destroyed much of [Myammar]... And the ruling junta isn't helping to reduce the deaths in their own country by refusing to allow foreign aid... If they're trying to prove tt they're able to handle this all by themself, this is like so not the time as lives are @ stake here... They should put down their pride and ego and accept the help tt's being offered with open arms... @ times like this, no country is going to mock you for being unable to handle this single-handedly... *Sigh*
It's time tt [Myammar] actually get this into their heads... Tt no country stands alone in this globalised world... We're all connected to one another whether we like it or not, so we just have to deal... By refusing help, you're worsening whatever diplomatic ties you have with the rest of the world, which will do the country no good... Seriously, what's the point of having so much power, and yet not using it to do good, by allowing your ppl to get a better life??? Perhaps the juntas are demons in disguise, demons who feeds off pain and suffering...
Or maybe I'm just, like the other countries to some extent, concerned tt [Myammar] is unable to increase the supply of rice in time to stop the maddeening inflation of it's price...
Then there's the 7.8 magnitude quake in [Sichuan] which killed tens of thousands of ppl... When I saw those articles of the devastation, I'm also horrified @ the emotions tt're so visibly etched on the survivors and their family members... There're a lot of grief, it's heartrending... To think tt so many ppl died in just over a span of 3 weeks, it's like there's a mass genocide or something... The only comfort in this is tt @ least [China] is allowing the other countries to lead a helping hand...
If you think abt this, this could be [Gaia]'s way of punishing us for the harm we've done to her... By disrupting our economic growth in an attempt to push us back in our advancement as a race, so tt she can recover from the many wounds we've inflicted on her... Don't protest... There's a research tt proved tt there's a relation b/w the degradation of the enviornment and us, humans (why am I not surprised @ this finding)... Polar bears are becoming cannablistic, plants are blooming earlier, birds are migrating earlier, penguins dying and rising sea lv due to melting glaciers... They're all a result of what we've done in our pursuit to grow...
*Ponders* Maybe the end of the world as we know it isn't the death of the human race, but an event tt will reduce our numbers considerably and bring our technological progess back to square 1... Perhaps it's time the world not develop so fast and start to think abt sustainable development seriously... Otherwise, we'll enter a bettle with an entity where the odds are never in our favour... A battle the human race will never be capable of winning...
