I think we all have sat with open mouths as we have seen the complete devastation in Japan. I know for myself that it was very difficult to see an entire airport wiped away from water. It was beyond disheartening to know that in an instant, the lives of innocent people had been completely turned upside down. To know that children were killed and separated from their families, brought tears to my eyes. To see streets, homes, and buildings wiped away along with people sitting on a piece of undestroyed land with looks of displacement, heartbreak, and confusion on their faces, should hit home for many of us.
We can't compare one tragedy to another for each situation has its own story. However, we do understand that pain holds no boundary. For many of us, Japan rests on the other side of the world, yet what we must understand and realize is that what affects one, affects us all. We are all divinely connected to one another and share the space of the world together.
Do not watch in horror, do something! If your something is a prayer or donation, I am sure that both would be well appreciated. We have to remember that we are each others keeper.
