We can’t turn on the TV or flip the newspaper without reading about yet another disaster these days. The earth is like a smouldering cauldron of tension lines, be it at the crust of the earth or the living specimens that she supports, just waiting to erupt and bring untold damage to property and life.
But is that the worse of it? Or has the recent past events numb us to the sufferings and pain of others? How much damage to the soul has this done? How much do WE feel this time for the victims of the quake in Pakistan? Do we notice a lack of people coming forward to offer assistance? Or have the people of the world become so blasé with all the disasters that has befallen the world population in such a short period of time that we could just close an eye to the event and get on with life?
Is this how people in a war torn country feel? Do they feel a sense of helplessness and hopelessness as events around them unfold at a rate and magnitude beyond their control and comprehension? Thus, they just trudge on with life, waiting for the final axe to fall?
This is going to be a frustrating piece of reading. I have no answers. Merely questions.
