Hey Everybody,

In light of the recent incident in Asia, I thought that I should say a word or two. The way people are acting about the Tsunami is .... well I don't have any pleasant words for it. So many people just wont stop yammering about how it is a horrible, terrible, unthinkable tragedy, and how bad they feel about this happening. But these same people are doing NOTHING about it. They just sit, and talk. It bothers me a great deal how people will express such strong feelings about a situation, but take no action to do anything with the situation. Now don't get me wrong, what happened in Asia is a bad thing, but bad things happen, all the time.

Also, Everything is blown out of proportion by people. Yes, 140 thousand people died because of this Tsunami, but think about it, how many people died at Hiroshima? Nagasaki? How many people have died due to smoking in the history of the human race? It's incalculable. So I don't think it's reasonable to get so overblown about this single incident. So everybody, sit back, and think about a bigger picture before you get so excited about the little things.

If ignorance is bliss, does being intelligent cause unhappiness?

Desire causes suffering. All humans have desire. To be free from desire is to be free from suffering. This is the human condition. - Siddhartha Guatama
