I'm sure thousands of people are blogging about this, and although I strive to be different most of the time, I'm going to join those people.
Everyone has heard about the major earthquakes in Japan. They caused a giant tsunami off the Pacific coast of Japan and hundreds of people were killed. The earthquakes themselves actually shifted the axis of the world. While I read about all this, I read other viewer's comments. Some people try to make a joke out of it; "So is Japan gonna be closer to the US or farther? Less travel time man!!", and some people talk about Jesus and how we better pray to "God" that things will get better, and of course in reaction to that plenty of people begin attacking others about how they're foolish to believe in "God" after this has happened when obviously there's not a god anywhere that saved the people of Japan that were killed. May I just say, these people that are making a joke out of this disaster or think its an okay time to argue about religion can go to fucking hell. In a time like this, you pray to whatever god or goddess that you yourself believe in, or you donate money or meditate or something that is productive in some way. Bitching about whether "God" is real or not is not the way to do this. I personally am praying to my Goddess - Athena - that no more people will be harmed and soon they will be able to rebuild what has been lost. Anyone can come and tell me how foolish this is, because believing in a Goddess such as Athena is simply ridiculous, but really, is that what you want to tell me right now? How I'm foolish? How about, "Thank you for your prayers"? Does it matter who I'm praying to?
Japan, I love you and all of your people. I know you can recover from this terrible disaster, and I wish I was there to help personally.
