home sweet home

the thought of hitting the keyboard or my ipad screen, surfing the Internet is always tempting. I wouldn’t care, if not due to the fact that everything around the globe has been so depressing. news on TV has been feeding viewers with reports on social uproars and political turmoil in the Middle East on hourly basis beginning from Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, and the latest, Tunisia, all simply send the message how any government is at the mercy of more prevailing power, the people.

april 7, 2011 Tsunami devastated and traumatized Japan by causing massive and unprecedented destruction apart from claiming thousands of life, and most nerve-racking has made the so called the most advanced country, vulnerable to lethal nuclear leaking impacts. my son had a sleepover at Rukito, his Japanese friend’s house the day the disaster showed its sinister. the boy’s family was spared from the nature’s wrath, yet they are affected still in many ways. my heart goes to all unwavering Japanese and unlike when killer Tsunami hit Acheh in 2005, I do not have the same curiosity to know more because it was, and is too disheartening.

living a diplomatic life in a far-flung, natural disaster prone country or any land known for its constant conflicts, all these send a very clear message of how only the good governance triumphs at the end and how despite of the cutting edge technology and human wisdom, we are all forever subjected to God’s power and nature. wouldn’t we be grateful to Him when we do not have to waddle through all those? some of us might feel we move to a greener pasteur abroad. no doubt maybe most of the time. Yet if we ever want to think of fortune, let's all believe in home sweet home.
