Land of the Rising Sun

Thousands died!

Thousands are still missing.

   As we witnessed the awesome power of our "mother earth", we should ask ourselves...is there any difference if we belong to the first world nations or the second or the third! For as far as I can see, "mother earth" gives no discrimination in doing what she does best- self preservation. I saw in CNN, BBC, ABCNews the same thing; over and over again...total annihilation of a nation who is proud of their heritage both good and bad.

  We all know Japan as a state of great technological advancements, peaceful nation who have turned the very destructive power that nearly destroyed them in the past into something advantageous for them…a constant power source. We see our everyday lives assisted or even controlled by their technical marvels- cars, motorbikes, electrical appliances you name it they have it! But all this accolades and achievements are nothing when it came to their current situation. The only attribute that helps them, keeps them moving is their resilience, and fire within. The old Japan that only few knows and a lot fears.

   Remember, these are not actual facts but rather a compilation of my thoughts that I believe I needed to jot down. I respect the nation and its citizens, as they are one hell of an example for us to follow in the face of disaster. Till now of course!

My best wishes for “Land of the Rising Sun”!

Kōun o inoru! Nippon!
