...a little thought

Typhoon hit in Philippines, to the extent of China and Japan

Strong earthquake in Bali, Indonesia

Major flood in Thailand

Major flood and landslides in Central America

Very strong earthquake in Turkey

Those are the recent nature catastrophes which has occurred (and still occurring) in other countries outside my homeland. It attracts global attention due to its magnitude and the large effect that hit the dwellers. Alhamdulillah, my friends are ok in their respective countries...they are not directly hit by the disasters. Having someone you know in those places makes you become more aware of their countries' condition and well-being. Perhaps before we were quite ignorant of things happening outside our comfortable homes, or if that sounds rather mean, perhaps we didn't think much of it other than our sympathy when reading the news. However, now we wondered....we communicate...we help if we can..and we hope and we wish...for the best.

When I flipped through the local news....I thought, my country so far this year, was not affected by any super major natural disasters, Alhamdulillah...but I read and watched in horror of the "man-made" disasters cast upon other people's life just for the sake of pride, lust, greed and other sins...and those are what we call as crime. Robbing or thieving alone is one thing, but robbing and throwing people down from a bridge, or robbing and murdering a family having dinner together, slicing your own new-born baby, acid attacks...eerie, sick... sick, sick people without a sense of humanity...

Astaghfirullahal'azim....
