For those watching Discovery Channel... last weekend I was glued to the 'Savage Earth' series... no human, however hard their hearts might be will not be moved by those chaotic scenes, desperation, tragedy, disaster, hunger, government lies... and extreme human suffering. These are really amazing times we live in... amazingly sad... there are just too many disasters all over the world... I bet its gonna touch everyone's life sooner or later. Thats you and me. I hope these are not signs of worse to come.

Why is this happening?? What is the solution?? Who do we blame?? We keep asking these questions... but somehow the answers are never straight. Its too vague. Everybody seems to hide something... nobody can be trusted. Something like this is beyond anyone's control... we cannot... we shouldn't. Politics and greed just makes it worse. Just imagine the trauma and grief these families and friends suffer. Many are suffering in silence every single minute. Losing everything you love and own is close to living in hell. Very close...

Hell: A situation or place of evil, misery, discord, or destruction: “War is hell” (William Tecumseh Sherman). Torment and anguish

What really touches me is the amount of children and innocent babies that become victims. They don't have the voice to speak... some barely can walk.. lost in agony... and we can clearly see the deep sadness in their tired eyes... waiting for hope.. love. All they can do is cry and wait. There are no more tears left... no more time to wait... So much pain till there is only silence. The eerie silence of... death.

May your souls rest in peace and God have mercy on us...
