Karma??

Japan has been hit by a massive scale earthquake followed by a tsunami that has destroyed most parts of the country and claimed many lives. It is sad to hear this news and i guess it is a common feeling for all when we relate to tragic incidents or natural disasters like this. However, what is more disheartening is some of the comments posted on facebook related to this incident.

Some people think that Japan deserves this tragic fate due to somethings that their ancestors did a very long time ago. I think 'karma' was the word that they used. Yes, for those who are bad and commit crimes we do hope that one day they will suffer the same pain that they have put others through but is it right for their descendants to suffer the crimes as well? The world is already chaotic as it is then why add drama to it?

I guess the question that we would want to ask ourselves is that do we want to fuel this bad karma or stop it and start creating some good karma. As the the saying goes 'one good deed deserves another' and let's start by having empathy and give a helping hand to the victims. There is no point in holding a grudge forever, who knows we might not even have a forever by looking at all the natural disasters that mother nature has bestowed upon us. i think it's time we pull our act together, don't you?
