The disaster in Japan last week reminds us that we are not in control of our planet. Thousands were killed and thousands more displaced from their homes by one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history and its aftermath. We tend to take things for granted, especially all the luxuries and gadgets that make our day-to-day lives excessively easy to manage. But how prepared are we if, God forbid, a similar disaster happens to us? People tend to get caught up in “the act of living” and forget to focus on what truly means the most. Instead of focusing on what Charlie Sheen does today, let’s all take something from this that will allow us to change, even minutely, the way we look at things. Sorry if this comes across as a rant, but I feel its pretty clear our priorities are so twisted that we fail to see the bigger picture despite it being relayed in the clearest way possible.
