It’s really the saddest sight on television every time the rescue operation in Sichuan, China is being shown on cable news. I would often turn my stare away from the scenes on the screen as children were being pulled from under the rubles that had resulted from the massive quake that had befallen the area a number of days ago.
It’s the most lamentable of all—- I thought the news shouldn’t be as visual as that, that there should be a limit somehow, for the senses could only witness a reasonable amount of grief.
After the tragedy in Myanmar, the earthquake in Sichuan Province is yet another enormous misfortune for Asia, as people in this region barely struggle past neverending food crisis and rising fuel prices. I just wished that we should have had done away with these recent catastrophes. But nature has it’s own willings that are beyond our grasps.
And I hope to the fullest that more and more survivors would be rescued from the rubles three days after, despite that as of now, the death toll is feared to have reach 50,000—- such unspeakable tragedy really.
