We all know that earthquakes are natural phenomenons. Earthquakes have been shaking the earth long before humans existed, even longer before the time of the dinosaurs. But the recent quake that hit Japan and the resulting disasters that it brought is really mind-boggling. Five days after the catastrophe, people all over the world are still shocked and awed by the devastation.
During times like this, one can't help but wonder what would be their fate if stuck in the same situation. I don't know any Japanese nor know anyone who's living in Japan but I am so worried for them. My heart goes out to them, who in times like this still have managed to be calm and strong.
One touching story that amazed me is the story of the loyal dog who didn't left his ailing dog friend. It made me realize that disasters really bring out the best in all of us, both humans and animals.
This dog reminded me of our pet Hehe when typhoon Ondoy flooded our house. Though shivering and afraid, Hehe stayed and guarded our house since we have to relocate because of the rising water.
Japan may be in the worst situation today but if there's one thing that the whole world admired and learned from them, it's their exceptional discipline.
