Love your life ----- From China's earthquake

Do you often complain that life is boring? I sometimes do so. But I've decided from now on I will not complain anymore. Why? Because life is short and life is delicate. You don't know when your end comes. I used to think that life is long and there is a lot of time left. But no. It is not true. I learned all this from China's earthquake in Sichuan two weeks ago. It was an enormous earthquake and until now nearlly 700 thousand people have been confirmed dead and another over 100 thousand are missing. These might be numbers to you. But if you have followed all the news and stories and TV shows and the live shows, you won't think of it as numbers. You will know they are lives, real lives. All the lives are gone. They don't exist any more. It might have nothing to do with you. But it has a lot with those who lost their family members. Kids without parent(s), husbands without wives, wives without husbands, parent(s) without children (mostly the only child), etc. The number counts to them all. Alas...

Pray for people in Iceland. I'm always wondering why there are so many natural disasters these years. What can we do to all these natural anger? Can we change the situation by doing something every day?
