Nothing & Everything

I have neglected this blog for quite a bit. I only wished I was not so busy. A lot of things happened during the past month. Israel air strikes on the Hezbollah in Lebanon prompting the latter to declare an open war. Another tsunami hit the Javanese coast costing close to 400 lives.

And here we are, busy with our mundane lives. Engrossed in our daily greed to be number one. We are so buried in our own personal desires that we forget to think about others. We forget how to act in times of emergency. Take for an example the incident reported in the papers about some ambulance crew trying to transport a collapsed patient down the elevator of a shopping center. They had to endure other shoppers who are determined to squeeze into the elevators and alight at their desired floors. What if the patient had died? What if the few seconds he/she needed to be saved are wasted by another shopper wanting to get to the Levi's Store on the 3rd floor? What if it was us, ourselves, on that stretcher?

Well, just as long as it ain't me...or is it?
