Please pray for Japan

For those of you who read my post and take advantage of my resources, please take one moment to hear me out. I have something very important to say to you all.

There are two nations in the world that I admire most. One is Singapore and the other is Japan. My unfathomable respect for them arises from the fact that they have no natural resources, but through their sheer will power they became two of the greatest nations in the world.

Japan is a small nations where the price of houses are extremely high, and people work very hard to earn a descent living. It is a country that values equality, all the children regardless of whether they are rich of poor go to the same school and wear the same clothes, so that the children do not feel inferior to one another. I really liked that idea.

As I said before, it is a country that has earned my deepest respect. As you all know, Japan was hit by an earthquake, which rated 8.9 on the Richter scale: To give you an idea of how powerful that is, the Richter scale only has a maximum of 9, an earthquake of 7 is considered to be devastating. Not only was there an earthquake, there was also a tsunami that swallowed up buildings in a matter of seconds. Look from a helicopter, it looked as though you were mixing chocolate in a blender. The buildings and cars looked like little sprinkles. The power of the earthquake and tsunami is ineffable. The people who experienced only know the true consequences. This was perhaps the most powerful earthquake in the last two centuries.

Its time that we showed the people of Japan our support through whatever means we have. Prayers, donations and motivation are what we can do. No rather what we must do. Regardless of how much competition we have between nations, we need to come together to support them; in the end we are all human.

So please pray for japan, donate to a charity, whatever you can do please do so. We need to show our support to this nation that has really been hit by a natural calamity of legendary proportions. Please, if you were in the situation that these people are in now: under layers of rubble with little oxygen or trying to stay afloat to save your lives, would you not be be desperate? Thousands of people are displaced and many dead. We must come forward, regardless of the circumstances.
