just watched the news on the bus and finally realised the seriousness of the tsunami
tens of thousands of lives have been lost overnight
families and lives crushed by the fury unleashed by nature
human life...
how fragile and vulnerable
started me thinking
what a sheltered existence i lead
just this morning i was ranting about my hair
when people in other parts of the world are battling with the grief of losing loved ones
when all that they owe has been robbed by an intangible culprit
i was actually bothered by something as trivial as a bad haircut
suddenly, i feel like such a shallow person

international aid has been pledged
i sincerely hope that they will reach those in need in time
may those with the ability to help not be blinded with personal selfish interests
