What is happening in Japan had really sound the alarm for the whole world that we are really living in a world that is full of dangers.We might think that the dangers are far away from us before hand, but now everyone seems to be waken up by the nuclear problem starting from Japan. Every country is trying to do something to reduce all this terrible issus except those trouble maker countries such as North Korea or Iran. Well, ow can we then live if the dangerous situation is closing to us each and everyday ? How can we still enjoy life in this world. Someday, people may not be a killed by war but will be harmed by all the pollution which is created by human themselves.What do you think ?

Hi Wildlittlefan. Many may not agree, but some Christians such as myself believe that we are not supposed to enjoy this world. We are not to be of the world but must prepare ourselves and others for God's Kingdom instead. For me, that's harder said than done. God is showing us that we can't do anything without Him. And we are seeing that. For example, I think Japan and some other countries (like America) build "earthquake and tornado" proof buildings based on physics and mathematics. It is man using his ingenuity against nature. Japan had built those reactors to withstand the might of mother nature and yet, there is always an achilles heel. There is always something the "experts" and "genuises" miss in their efforts to be perfect. As mankind progresses, there will always be tragedies until that time when Jesus returns and we see that only God can make us safe and have us enjoy life. But for now, mankind thinks it can do all.

You are right that these kinds of disasters do make it more difficult for people to enjoy their lives. However, I think to a certain extent we do have to face some sort of disaster so that the same sort of thing will not happen again in the future. That said, we need to work to find a solution so that this won't happen again and so that the future generations will be able to enjoy their lives. However, I don't think that we should abandon the enjoyment that we have right now because of things that are not really in our control at this point in time.

Pollutions regardless of type took time to accumulate. They seep to the ground penetrate the air and dissolve in water. Scientist say that the world are now very polluted. Who is to blame, is it the people of today or is it the people of yesterday.
I blame the industrial revolution for what is happening now. They build and process for the future by sacrificing the future it self. Who own all the major builder and producers in the world. Who when put on sanction in their on county for polluting than ran to another developing country under the pretense of technical transfer and pollute again.
We can talk about this till kingdom come, and there will always be finger pointing. so what are we to do. The radiation in Japan will be there for a long long time. It will penetrate, dissolve and change over earth for ever. Chernobyl happens 25 years ago, it is still emitting radioactivity.
We human will find a way to live and survive regardless of catastrophic event. The matter is how many of us will be surviving and in what form.

We can enjoy life in a daily basis. We live everyday like it will be the last so if we will die, we are all prepared. We should enjoy every minute of our lives. I believe that whether there is nuclear pollution or not, if its our time to die, wherever we may be then we will die.

So simple. Just consider the following tips / suggestions:
a. Continue / live by your routines;
b. Never be pestered by what's happening around (it would just tend to spoil your day hearing, reading, and watching those never-ending news around;
c. Walk the dog / be the family to a nearby park as you spend joyful moments together; and
d. Pray. It would help a lot. Things that happen around has purpose and meaning in our lives. Seek God's blessings and leading in your life. After all, satisfaction and contentment are never achieved in this world. Enjoyment depends on how one sees it. I hope to be a help to your query. =)

Since we can't do something to avoid of these dangers. Then just do our best to protect our environment and meanwhile enjoy the present life. The worries won't be helpful to solve problems. And we shall be positive to it. You are not alone.
I love China

The fact is it's more and more difficult to enjoy life for many reasons.I think that wars,pollution and the threat of a nuclear disaster,the neverending crisis and the stress of modern life,and many other reasons make life less and less ebnjoyable,yet we have no other option but to live and fight.It's sad that most of our unhappiness is caused by man's hand and we have to live with them and try to enjoy at least some moments of this life.
