Remembering Japan 3-11-11

From blogcdn.com This was the image that made me realize how real the Earth's destruction can be. The video from which this picture is taken would easily remind anyone of an apocalyptic movie. The only difference is that, this picture is real. Dear Japan, I remember how much I wanted to visit you when I was younger. I remember the stories I used to hear about your people's diligence and passion for work. I remember knowing that your people work hard to become what they are today. The earthquake and tsunami that happened last year truly was devastating. It took out over 13,000 people and 15,000 are still missing*. It brought a number of aftershocks, a near nuclear disaster and a lifetime of picking up the pieces. A country struck by such a catastrophe would have the rights to give up. A country with a percentage of population suddenly wiped out would have thought it hard to get back up. But you are not just a country. I salute the people of Japan for your resilience...
