If the worldwide internet and broadcasting system would not have been developed so much today, we could not have been informed so much of what had happened in the world. I was depressed with the news of the earthquake that hit a historic city, Yogyakarta on Java, Indonesia. More than 5000 number of people have lost their lives when a big earthquake hit in and around the old city. Earthquake again.
How could we be free from the fear of loosing lives? It’s not a tragedy far away from my home beyond my daily life. I may face the same panic today or tomorrow, some time very soon. Whenever I got the news of natural disaster, I feel we are just helpless before the great nature.
Yet, one thing that made me impressed is that in some small village, there was nobody missing though a certain number of villagers were under flattened houses just after the jolting was over. Since they had a very close interrelationship through their community life, they instantly knew who were missing and they dug by hands to help the missing villagers out under the collapsed houses.　Can it be possible in my neighborhood, I wonder. This is some how, something which is lacking in our urban towns and cities. This story has rung a bell to let us know what we should do then and there in the neighborhood.
Hope people in this area will get enough medical supports and daily necessities without any delay.
