Wet cold morning. Perfect for sleeping in. Fantastical to have someone to snuggle up next to. Hee. But I only got two bolsters.. *deep sigh*

A friend sent me a forward email yesterday. It was an email reminding us of the atrocities committed to the countless innocent Indonesian Chinese, especially the females, in May 1998. If any of us can still remember. The email stated that the tsunami tragedy on December 26, 2004 was God's punishment to the perpetrators. And that we need not have donated towards this cause or feel sorry for any one, in particular the Indonesians, who were the worst hit.

Well, I have a couple of thoughts on this. First of all, I really do not think this is the correct attitude to take towards a fellow man, never mind his colour or beliefs. Two, it may or may NOT be God's will but we should not have talked or thought about it this way. Three, humans have very short memory. A double-edged sword really. They tend to forget the goodness of people and never forget the faults of the same; at the same time, they seldom remember to learn hard lessons from history and what stupid things not to repeat committing. (Though I am not trying to say the Indonesians have done good, because I have no examples to cite. It is just a general statement, which is generally true) Fourth, why do we always hope the worst for people we do not like? Why are we such selfish, arrogant individuals? Why are we suspicious of people's intentions for no valid reasons? What are we trying to prove by hitting out at our fellow being when we should be offering a hand instead?

Mankind. How ugly you have become.
