What can we talk about without disaster

What can we talk about without disaster

The Japanese earthquake, Chinese reaction is mixed, I can not understand a few phenomena. 1. Gloating over such disasters, attacking, name-calling, and antagonizing. 2. Dismisses the people who pray now, believing that the prayers of the Chinese people are hypocritical and hypocritical. 3. Elevate yourself to messianic heights and view the disaster from a human and overhead perspective.

These are narrow ontological thinking, to put it mildly, from their own most primitive thoughts, and if you ask people, especially people who think the Japanese earthquake is a great thing. You ask him, do you really want all the Japanese to die? He might say no. They're all people. Then again, why do you want an earthquake in Japan? 'I hate Japan,' he said. This is it, hate is a country, so that the country's misfortune is taken for granted. In fact, this is a replacement of the concept. I still feel that the situation in the United States at the time of 9/11 is very similar to the current situation. Some people feel sorry for and some applaud.

These are two concepts, Japan or the United States is a country, Japan or the United States is living in ordinary people, whether want Japan and the United States to disappear, or want those poor people to suffer disaster. I don't think anyone with a conscience is so bad as to wish misfortune on strangers. But sadly, in applauding disasters, they have added a curse to those who are innocent.

I believe that no one will treat everything with absolute equality and justice, just like people's different reactions in the face of disaster. However, if we take away the concept of country, we are all the same people, living people. Although they have nothing to do with us, they still have a subtle connection. If we must say that such a country has committed heinous crimes against our country and killed many of our people, we can only say that the problems of history can not erase humanity, cannot erase our basic conscience.

I also see some of the good people are talking about this is retribution, which is even more ridiculous. If this is retribution, it is too innocent. Politics was not controlled by ordinary people, and divisions are not instilled by ordinary people. If it is, it must be that God is blind. If you have to fill what retribution, that our country's disaster, Tangshan, Wenchuan, Zhouqu, Yunnan and so on, and who was the retribution? Those who live in this land of good people, they in the end is made what iniquity.

Open your eyes, O those people, and see what poor people are doing while you cheer for the disaster in your heart.

No one can be completely in this land, we can not stop natural disasters, but do not put these natural factors in your separate heart, filled with a variety of names and charges, become your tools of catharsis, do not let those poor people feel sad, not to add insult to injury on this disaster, you can despise them, But please keep silent.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Perhaps it will be painful to see other people's schadenfreude when we have been affected. Once Wenchuan earthquake, I saw on the Internet some Japanese schadenfreude, do not deny that in various countries, this kind of people exist. But away from disaster, what can we talk about?

A person, living has a lot of meaning, but ultimately is for a lot of things, whether it is oneself or others, if you create value, you will get a lot, can make yourself and others happy and comfortable, is not a bad thing. But if he adds his happiness to the pain or disaster of others, he can only say how terrible his heart should be. This stupid behavior just proves his narrowness and smallness as a person.

Right now, in a country far away from us, no matter what happened there, what we had with them, there are innocent people out there who are going through something that may last a lifetime, and some of them, while you're watching the news on the Internet while you're laughing and talking about it, are gone. And in these times, our prayer seems to be no meaning, but even so, we all hope to be able to silently make a blessing in the heart, this is not a posturing hypocrisy, but hope everything is good.

To say a word may be more serious, must first self respect, to get respect. Our Yunnan is also suffering from disasters, we wish and hope for them. I believe you can understand what I said if we compare our hearts to each other. Everyone is an independent individual. We don't gloat over disasters, hate haters, or secretly rejoice in those misfortunes, which will eventually leave an imprint on our bodies. No one can guarantee what they will encounter in the future, even for their own sake, should also be lenient.

No one can be perfect, no one is an island, everyone is a piece of the mainland, to the local.

At this moment, there is no country, only you and me. No grudge, just human.
