catastrophes

Sad news all over the papers and TV.
First the cyclone in Myanmar and the problems with relief aid.
Then the earthquake in Sichuan/China ...
and at the same time, the blasts in Jaipur.

We must hug our kids more tightly in appreciation.

When people are desperately trying to save children and other people from the debris of the earthquake in Sichuan, we hear news of a boy being allegedly murdered by his mother as part of an apparent suicide attempt. How sad :( How could a mother (or father) harm her own child?! How could one harm another person?

We must count our blessings, really!
