Note on Japan ..


 
Our thoughts and prayers are with Japan and with all those suffer in this horrific tragedy.
 
More than  10 000 people dead and damage at least in the tens of  billions of dollars. This nature’s brutal destruction, wreaked by a devastating earthquake and tsunami, has left us stunned. One sentiment that is emerging is that, nature is alarming and can happen again at any time, in any place.
 
While following the live coverage, what struck me and struck real hard was the response of a Japanese -- ‘We're worried about what will happen next time, but whatever happens it won't be a surprise.’
It’s really admirable to see the way Japanese are finding both inspiration and reasons to vent in the aftermath of the disaster.
 
Knowing the Japanese, unlike a lot of others, they possess strong will power and have believed that nothing can keep them down.. Absolutely Nothing.
When the rest of the world believes in talking, they believe in action. Whether it was the Hiroshima Nagasaki or the multiple Earth Quake that they live with, or the Volcanic Eruption, they just know how to come out of everything – They don’t believe in sympathizing with them-self but have learnt from everything that has happened in their lives.  As they say, ‘If god brings you to it, he will also bring you through it!’. 
 
For me, Japan is an inspiration. 
 
We shall stand ready to assist the Japanese people, in whatever way we can, as they work to recover and rebuild. 
 
Thanks for reading.
