So far away.

Book out finally!! Work from 10am to 9pm. Book out at 10.30pm from Selarang camp. Enough information to let you infer how tired i am, but as usual, 1 min in the civilian world is worth more than 1 min in camp, so i cant let it go to waste by sleeping early~~

There is this recent big news about the Sichuan quake. The earthquake is like 7.9 on a richter scale and the death toll goes up to beyond 10000. Other than on this numeric, i don't know how i can show how bad this quake is. Ok, maybe pictures of the disasters site will show clearer how impactful it is. When i first saw this news, i frowned and the first thought that came to me is, "Why does this got to happen?", and 10000 death is more than just a statistics. It encompasses gallons of tears, gallons of blood, and millions of heartbreak. As i read on, and continuing looking at those photographs, i just keep on shaking my head. It is simply insane! Is really like a massacre! Ok, maybe is just me that is really averse to those sorrowful scene or wad.

It is event like this that sometimes make me doubt the credibility and existence of religion. If such a horrendous event can happen, then where is the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, benevolent god we are talking about? If people are using karma, past life or afterlife explanation to justify their death, i just cannot accept it. It is really pain and sorrow on the part of those victims and considering the casualty, even people from so far away should be able to feel it as well.

Perhaps, religion is just not complete, but neither is atheism as well. No matter which stance we subscibed to, we wont get the full picture. That is why i am agnostic, well.. maybe with a little faith here and there.

To end this post, my condolence to the victims and kins in the "Sichuan quake" and please pray for them and donate money.
