The devastation in Japan is beyond comprehension to those unaffected by the calamitous events. For those affected, the dimensions are so huge that it would beat their imagination. Our conscience as humans stands in solemn solidarity with Japanese people in this hour of their crisis.
Once before, in 1945, Japan was destroyed to ashes by man made events. Not withstanding the role of Japanese in their own destruction, the world witnessed the steely resolve with which they rose again as a phoenix from their own ash into a giant. The Emperor, Hirohito, is credited by history as the man who foresaw the doom and built Japan back into a mighty giant.
Sixty five years later, Japan is now in the throngs of a calamity much greater than what it lived through. The character, resolve, committment and sense of purpose of Japanese are under challenge yet again. Only, this time nature played villain. The last time, the world did no sympathies with the Japanese. But this moment calls for solidarity and support much more in measure than what earlier could have been.
Pray, give support and assist in all ways that we can to reinforce our own faith in ourselves as people of this planet!
