I fully admit that I’m not the best person to talk politics or economics with. I don’t really watch the news, mainly because the people who are on the news annoy the shit out of me. I am really considering subscribing to the New York Times, but that’s another story.
I do however, check in on msnbc.com especialy during times like these. The tsunami disaster in Japan has been of major interest to me. I check the site daily for updates about the radiation and everything else. The most heartbreaking part of it are all the images. The photographs coming out of this are horrific and I nearly cry everyday looking at
them. I feel so lucky and have NOTHING to complain about. It is truly a disaster for humankind.
Imagine your entire world literally turned up-side-down, washed away, and you have no place to live, nothing to eat, no where to go.
It has recently come to my attention that some people in America are asking why we should be helping these people in need… Um excuse me? AS HUMANS WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO HELP OTHER HUMANS IN A TIME OF DISASTER! If we can help, we damn well should. It’s just the right thing to do. Even Poland sent firefighters!
As citizens of the world we should always help others in need. If you see a person f
all on the street you should help them, not walk over them. If you have any doubts about helping Japan just look at some of the images that are coming out of there. Natural Disasters can happen anywhere at anytime. We don’t help others to get something in return. We help our fellow humans because it is the humane thing to do, despite things that have happened in the past.
Anyone who thinks differently really disappoints me as a human being.
