The Cyclone

I just read the news on yahoo about the cyclone that just hit Bangladesh, and that the death tolls have already reached a total number of 2,407 people found dead in the storm's aftermath, while the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society, the Islamic equivalent of the Red Cross, warned that the toll could even hit 10,000 once rescuers reach other affected sites.

It's really sad to hear about tragic news like this. It breaks my heart when families get bereaved when a family member dies. But this one's even more despairing. A really violent storm, such as this one, could even wipe out an entire family tree. Like what happened to Dhalan Mridha and to his family. They were warned about the high cyclone but they just decided to ignore about it. Now, he has lost his wife, mother, and two children which he found them dead stuck in a battered bush along the coast

Right now, he must be feeling such tormenting agony to see the result of his negligence.

I hope that we could all learn from Mr. Dhalan Mridha's experience. Life is really unpredictable. So we ought to live our lives by being really cautious to our environment. From all the storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other fortuitous events that our world has experienced, it is really impossible to stop them from happening. Others say its all our fault, our negligence that triggered all of these calamities to happen, and now its already too late to change everything that we've done that destoyed the natural harmony and balance of our world. Nothing's left for us to do but feel repentive and help, by our own little ways, to restore what's left for this world to be restored.

The worst is that we don't even have a clue on when our loved ones will be taken away from us. Or even when our own lives will be taken. I just suggest that we stop hating our lives because we ourselves can really make our own existence worth it in this world. There are a lot to do here. Lots of people to share memories with. And lots of instances that we can lend a hand with. Lets not question our existence anymore. Let's just thank God we're alive. All that we need to do now is to make a difference. A positive one, that is.
