I couldn't think of a funny title because I just found out there's been a massive earthquake in Japan that's caused a massive Tsunami that could sweep over some islands in the Pacific.
Finding out about natural disasters that have happened never seems that tragic, but because this is happening pretty much now, this morning, in my free, I feel so immersed in the situation that I am experiencing what I can only describe as grief, really. Not like 'my mum has died' grief, but just a heavy hearted compassion combined with a nauseating feeling of powerlessness.
From both a scientific and relgious perspective I wonder if there has been a surge in the number of natural disasters in the last few decades, or whether it's just wider media coverage and greater concern that has made it seem like there has. I mean, it could be down to global warming, but that would still be more natural disasters, which, is attributed scripturally to the second coming. I mean, I'm not some kind of doomsday prophet, and there's loads of other stuff (red moon, dark sun, that mark thingie, 10 king kingdom thingie from Daniel) that hasn't been fullfilled even a little bit yet.
Tell you what I love - Compassion. Both the concept and the charity of the same name, who my youth sponsor three children through. What I love about them is their attitude towards giving and charity, as reflected in their adverts. It's like there's those terrible, macabre adverts that zoom in on a child and tell you their going to die, then (if you're lucky) show you them getting saved by the charity. Essentially, they're guilt trips, and people hate being guilt tripped. It also creates this impression of giving as something you're forced to do against your will. Compassion adverts take a really excited, passionate perspective, look at people who's lives have been changed hugely, and celebrate the impact giving can have on other people's lives, so that you're just left thinking: 'That's awesome, I should give.'
I am uber looking forward to XL toe naight.
Peace out.
