Our Not-So-Friendly Nature.

Hmm.
The nature provides us all the things that are essential to us.
We build, we consume, we use the resources supplied by the nature in our daily lives.

When there is light, there is shadow, there is darkness.
This is the fact that we cannot deny.
Although lots of benefits can be derived from the nature, but it may harm us, in catastrophic ways.
No one and nothing could stop that.

Today, i am writing this article with all of my heart, for my followers, my friends and whoever.

I guess, everyone knows what had happened yesterday morning and few days ago right?

Few days ago, a deadly earthquake of magnitude 7 struck the capital of Haiti. Buildings were collapsing, people were crying and yet the disaster did not stop, leaving no mercy. A series of aftershocks was still striking, bringing the death toll to around two hundred thousand people. The Haitians were left homeless, some of them even lost their body parts and their families. The heart of Haiti was fulled of dead bodies. Who ever thought that an earthquake will rock a country who had not been hit by an earthquake for almost 200 years?? It was a sudden and powerful disaster, causing a massive loss of life and a great number of injuries.
Not that bad, at least the nations which are in vicinity were there to give the Haitians a hand. The support was so important and so much appreciated by the Haitians. Without the help, the situation could be even worst.









































Well, yesterday morning, there was a tragedy, just not far away from my crib.
A teacher, who was a Mr. Nice Guy and 5 students who had promising futures were drowned after a dragon boat mishap. All of them are from Chung Ling High School, my ex-school.
How the incident occurred? A string of strong waves hit the boat with 18 people on board. The boat then became unstable and crashed into a tugboat moored nearby. Hence, it capsized.
12 of them managed to swim to the shore. Unfortunately, the others did not.
It took years of time for them to grow up, but it only took a moment to end their lives.
Even me, an outsider felt sad for the victims, how about their parents? I saw the pictures, tears were everywhere on their face, they were crying, screaming and praying. Anyone who saw that could burst in tears, feel sympathy and know how much a mom and dad love their children.

Anyone of the victims shall be remembered, the warriors who tried hard to conserve our Chinese tradition, Dragon Boat.
Fellows, you are always the pride of Chung Ling and Chinese.
You are not dead, you live in our heart, our memories.
Don't worry, you are not going to places where you will suffer.
You are going to somewhere you belong, somewhere perfect, the Heaven.
Rest in peace, lads.

















































Guys, please appreciate your life.
If you have a life, live your life well, make it colourful.
There is no Take Two in your life.
