渺小

每晚臨睡前習慣花數分鐘到 Facebook 翻看一下, 那夜也不例外。 但看到的不再是一堆堆有趣資訊或無聊個人更新狀況, 而是一宗亥人的新聞… 日本仙台發生9級大地震! 事隔數天, 電視和網上不斷報導地震的慘況、播出相關的照片和錄影片段, 看到這些畫面實在令人非常心痛!

從來人類也是敵不過大自然的嬲怒。 儘管科學發展一日千里, 人類想盡辦法去預測天災的來臨, 可惜我們仍然無法逃避。 看到一次又一次的天災, 令我感覺到人的無助、 渺小!

很多人也習慣自我放大, 我也不例外。 很多時候不自覺地把自身煩惱放得過大。 尤其是在不快樂的時候, 悲怨的情緖蓋過一切, 往往令我忘記感恩已擁有的東西。 在我情緖低落、 感到困惑之時, 突然被這個無情的災難喚醒! 警惕自己比起那些被地震海嘯摧毀家庭、生命的災民, 我的煩惱和痛苦是那麼微不足道!

至少… 我還健康地活著!

Every night before going to bed, I like to spend a few minutes browsing through Facebook. It was no exception that night. But instead of the interesting information and meaningless status updates, I saw a terrible news... a 9 magnitude earthquake strikes Sendai Japan with a 30-feet tsunami. Over these several days, enormous amounts of news updates, photographs and videos were broadcast on television and internet. It is a heart-breaking disaster in the human history!

Humans have been trying real hard to fight against nature, but never succeeded. Even though our technology is so advance nowadays, we can never prevent nor predict a natural disaster from coming. Every time I see a catastrophe on the news, it makes me realized how insignificantly small and helpless we humans are.

Like many other people, I can be self-centered sometimes. I focus on my own pain and sadness, especially when I am unhappy. This depression covers everything, and often makes me forget to appreciate and cherish what I already have. Now I'm suddenly awaken by this tragic disaster, making me to realize how lucky I already am. Comparing to the victims who lost their homes and loved ones in the earthquakes and tsunami, my own problems and worries become so tiny and trifling!

At least... I am still healthily alive!
