tahmed:

mauj der mauj
reality
is not real
often
merely an illusion
--a perception decorated
with imbedded prejudices
and ensconced with our fears

another day, another year
will we still feel what we feel now?

yesterday I was thinking wheres Allah ? I was asking Allah yesterday in my prayers why ? how come always poor dies? and the rich are in there planes or yarts ! why ? I asked the maulana sahib of my mosque someone who is a very educated man unlike usual malvis , his answer was ` Ali Beta , Allah didnt made the world on the basis of equality - if this would have happened - everyone would have been equal and this would have been a ideal world - ` - --
people who died were already somewhat zombies - the more I think of them the more my heart melts -
Salam Alikum

and sadly, the death toll is rising. everytime i switch to the news, there`s an increase in the death toll.
``Protected by the biosphere, we are oblivious to the powerful forces that surround us`` ``While intellectually aware of these things, we do not think much of them as we go about our daily lives`` How true! what i dont understand is how and why werent people alerted of this earlier? what happened to all technological advances?
the worst is yet to come... sad as it is... the final number of those affected by tsunamis is expected to touch or border somewhere close to 100,000... with experts predicting that disease and epidemic will take its toll...

i just feel its freezing out there at this time of the year. In indonesia, india... and the majority of the people who have been affected... are sadly the unprivileged lot...

in pakistan at this time... i wrap up in my bankie every night and am all cozy and warm and sip on delicious soup or home made tea... while the family sits together and discusses life...

i wonder how they`re surviving... on empty stomachs... empty souls... some who`ve lost entire families... children orphaned... even for those who have survived.. hate to imagine the reality they get up to ever day!

its so cold out there... freezing cold... God Bless them. God Bless us all! Aameen.

tahmed32:

You have explained the tsunami phenomenon in very lucid terms and placed the whole tragedy in the larger scheme of nature.

Yes, we do indeed forget how insignificant we all are in cosmic scheme of things.

when nature strikes you cannt do anything.Did anyone see the movie THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW here they showed the same thing when ocean came into the streets of new york and destroyed everything and people were unable to do anything against that all.
And i think it happened the same
