First of all, I want to thank to Mr. President Barrack Obama and some other world leaders, who had deliver their deep condolence to what have happened in our country, Indonesia. So far, tsunami happened in Mentawai has been claiming more than 300 souls, and it will be more and more since there are many reports of missing person. In Java, we all cry seeing what befall on our family there in Merapi Mount. God will lift you all the victims to His side. Then, however bad and sad it is, life must be go on and on. We, Indonesians, have been experiencing any kind of torments and disasters. We once were colonized by Dutch for 350 years in a great suffer and poverty. We once were destroyed by Krakatau eruption, that the sounds of eruption was heard until Europe, and imagine how great and crazy the eruption was. We once destructed by Aceh tsunami that claimed more than 100.000 souls, and we still remain. We got thousands of corrupters and bribers in all sides of our governmental institution that never forget to steal our money, but we still survive till now. We are "Indonesia Raya", we are the great. No reasons for us to be sad still We have to wake up soon, and face the future confidently. Believe in God love then INDONESIA must wake up now!

I respect your feelings and accept my deep condolences for what happened in Indonesia, Indonesian are our brothers and sisters and we really care for them. FYI I am studying in Malaysia and Indonesian student in my University are collecting funds for the affectees, and we the nationals of other countries are also helping them in contribution. I think you are right, however bad it is, life must go on, writing and saying this thing is very easy but practically acting on this is very difficult, the only way to deal with this is to share these things with each other, sharing cannot remove your sorrows but it can reduce the burden a lot. Dont feel that you are alone at this time but the whole world is with you May God help you in this disastrous moment...

You're right. Seems that the burden isn't easy to remove. Still life must go on. Are you Malaysian? If so, thanks anyway. Though there were some disputes between our country, I don't really care. That's politicians business. We, as society, have been long loving each other. We are brothers, and thanks for your condolences. Indonesia has to awake now!
