Live Life

In the wake of this tragedy in Japan it is important now more than ever that we open our eyes and realize what's most important in our lives.  An estimated 10,000 people lost their lives in this tragedy and the number continues to climb.  I'm sure most of us have asked ourselves, what if it was us?  We need to make sure that we take nothing in life for granted because it could be taken from us at any moment.  We as people need to remove any hate barriers and focus on being better people.  Start by bettering yourself, make sure that you have tried all you can to make sure that you are a better person.  Remember there is no such thing as a perfect person, just like there is no such thing as perfection.  There will always be flaws in things you do, but it is up to you to make sure that you recognize those flaws and strive correct them.  As a Humanitarian it's hard not to feel sorrow for the lives changed and lost in Japan and I for one will make sure that I live my life like there is no tomorrow.  Some of us won't feel any sorrow for the country, since they still hold a grudge with the country after they bombed Pearl Harbor.  However over 50 years later we have a chance to let go of that hate and focus on building a better world with not showing hate.  As I look at the photos with towns ravaged and boats moved miles inland away from the sea,  after witnessing the power of the earthquake and Tsunami it's easy to realize where we stand on this earth.  Lets take the time to live life to the fullest with the people we love so that if we have a situation like Japan we know that we gave our all to live.
