I am heartbroken to see all that suffering, if from my computer screen. THe thing is, I almost went to SE Asia. I would have left before it happened, though. and if it's true that scientists were detecting possible tsunami waves and didn't warn the people in these nations, then WTF? Something of this magnitude couldn't be detected, or I guess someone did know? Don't get me wrong, I wish these people the best they can get, but where were these oceanographers, and don't any exist in SE Asia? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Actually I just saw the footage. Please don't misunderstand; I plan to help. I help those in need, I give money to beggars and I helped my friends in Egypt who are poor. Every little bit counts. But I still think that those who have too much, my opinion, money on their hands owe it to these places.
Thing is, before I left for Egypt, someone told me not to go cause I'd get hassled; that I should go to THailand. It makes me feel guilty like I was spared; but I came close to being there. Also, I guess people missed it, but it was on Yahoo news that there is a rare alignment of Mercury, Mars and Venus right at that time, and I suppose you have to follow astrology, but that itself is a point. This will probably change the ecosystem as well. I saw the video, and there's this eerie sound when the waves hit, like a tinny sound......bizarre, like some kind of demon, something evil. THat sounds melodramatic, but maybe nature isn't all good; there are bad forces out there. THat's what the pagans believe. Maybe the best thing to do is to go there (SE Asia) and spend money cause they need it now.
Since I'm not travelling I may have to move my blog for the time being; unless I go to Europe or LA.
