Mother Nature Is Not Happy

It is very hard to believe that so many people right now are suffering all around the world due to mother nature's wrath. As I browse through all the articles on natural disasters in the past two months my heart breaks into thousands of pieces.The graphic images of people crying and injured in the streets will follow me forever. The pictures are hard to stomach and the statistics are even more disturbing. But what are people really doing around the world to help? Please don't get me wrong and think this is an article to get you to donate money. It is the complete opposite. All I want to do is inform people on all the pain that is being felt across the world at this time. An event that lasted 35 seconds on the small island of Haiti changed the country forever. More than half of the country was under the age of eighteen which left thousands of children homeless and orphaned. The countries poor building codes failed and the rubble is whats left of the poor concrete construction. To my generation that has seen so many natural and man made disasters understand the power of people. That when we come together leaving aside race,religion,politics,and economic status behind we can achieve great things. We are only separated by oceans not galaxies which makes it that much easier to help our neighbors. We have had our share of natural disaster here on our own land and know that nature is nothing to mess with. Now with the seventh largest earthquake in recorded history to shake our earth, we have to understand that the smallest aid will help. The devastation that has come along with these events is greater than we can imagine and will be around for years to come. Be proactive and inform yourself on world news and the things you can do to help. As time passes and more things like this happen I realize how precious life is and how important it is to live everyday to its fullest. Get out there and help! Take one day at a time travel,see the world and write about it!
