Helpless is what I feel as I watch the news of the Japanese people struggling to deal with the disaster that has hit their country. Not only have they had to contend with the initial earthquake and resultant tsunami but they are under threat of further after-shocks and potentially further tsunami. And then when you think things couldn’t get any worse they are now having to confront the very real issue of a nuclear disaster.
Words cannot describe what they are experiencing.
All aspects of what you or I might call normal life have just been wiped out for thousands of Japanese.
As you go about your business today just compare what you are doing and try to compare that to survivors from the fishing village of Yuriage or any of the other devastated towns and villages along the north-eastern coastline of Japan.
