man v.s. nature....

ok...its very unusual for me to make 2 posts in a day...but oh wells...this post is just an immediate feeling i have.....over the past few days...i know of the different natural calamities over asia.....the cyclone in myanmar....the earthquake in china....and yes...i'm sure we have all heard of it...but when i saw a special report made for the earthquake just now...my nose felt sour...and i felt like crying.....(yes...my sentimental-selve is in control again)......

there is abt this news where a young school boy was stucked waist down rite under a pile of debris yesterday and there is no way for them to save the young boy by moving away the large slaps of concrete...a little mistake can cost that young boy his life...so the doctors made a painful but necessary decision...they decided to amputate the boy then and there....there goes a possible healthy life and disable free life of a children less than 10...this i'm sure...is not going to be the only child that would suffer from the same fate....the whole province of sichuan is so devasted that they actually called some parts of it totally demolished into piles and piles of debris......there are old grandmothers for the sake of trying to keep their grand kids alive...digging under the debris to find bits and pieces of food to feed them......local hospitals are also resduced to dirts and dust and ppl have to lie down on the ground to await medical help.....newborns were delivered rite then and there in the and placed on the dirty floor......

hell...would be the word or perhaps even an underestimation to describe the sight.....

ppl say in times of death....the very true fundamentals of love can be seen.....there's a couple who used their own bodies to block a wall slamming down just so that their precious daughter can be saved and by then....exchanging their lifes for that of their daughter right in the face of death....

we human beings always try out very best to be in the top of the world...to rule over all other species and even our own kind...but in the face of mother nature....we are just spawns......i can't help but wonder....how many people's life would be changed right from then.....perhaps...in sichuan....their lives would never be the same again.....

p.s. life is so precious...yet so fragile... and while you still have one...cherish it.....
