These 3 days were declared as National Mourning Day. Most of the main websites in China have changed their websites to black and white. TV showing most updated news from the earthquake sites. I think I couldn't express how bad and sad the incident is as it must have affected us deep down, when looking at the news and pictures.

I see "Blood thicker than water". Everyone is saddened, everyone is trying their best to help, everyone is supportive to everybody, everyone is encouraging each other, everyone is praying to relieve the pain from the affected and wish that the difficulties will end very soon.

I thought about how some other people in this world, trying their best to create havoc, trying their best to cause pain to people around them, trying their best to create war and still never stop. In this disaster we see how people unite while there're people in this world who tried to seperate its own people. Is it because they are lucky not to have disasters to worry about? That they have the extra time to express their ego, express their dissatisfaction and their power? As the chinese saying, 唯恐天下不乱。

Whoever we are, we should learn to appreciate. Appreciate that we have the heart, the salvation and the hands which can help and build. Appreciate the life and time that we have. :)

Let's pray for the best.
