I don't know what to say about that.
Life is funny.

Wow - holy crap, it's jumped that high already!?!
At 3 AM it was at 56,000 (don't ask me what I was doing up so late, lol)
Freakin' crazy :[

It's awful. Now it's like, as much as 150,000 people. Unbelievable.

Wow
Life is so precious.
Gosh dang our world and all the problems in it.

Yeah...life is precious. Sometimes we all take it for granted :(

~ 125,000 now.
There are thousands without water.
Diseases everywhere.
What is this world coming to?

I know...it's just horrible. But a natural disaster is something that you can't really avoid.

Also, I never thought the world was any more peachier back then than it is now. Well, maybe just a WEE bit.

Sometimes I feel like it's another world. Something so distant from me that I'll never have to touch it. I've never been in an accident, never seen a tornado, never broken a bone, never been sick longer than a few days. It's like I've been living in this protective bubble, and I wouldn't even know these tragedies were possible unless I heard of them... and when I do, I'm so confident in my own invincibility that I convince myself not to worry. It's an unhealthy development that I - and I'm sure many other people in this country - are forming. The problems are there, but they're far away, aren't they? We don't have to worry, do we?

Alas, here's the inescapable truth; this globe is a lot smaller than we think it is.

you know what? I feel exactly the same about all of it and i completely agree. It's so sad...but it just doesn't reach me. It makes me feel very insensitive about the whole thing. It was the same even for 9/11 (I know, it's terrible but I admit it). It seems like only the things that directly affect me really concern me. It's a kind of selfishness that me and a whole lot of people in the world seem to posess. Btw, i've never broken a bone either...heh.

it's just funny how i'm here complaining about how i didn't get a camera for Christmas when thousands and thousands of people are dying and suffering on the other side of the planet. Actually, it's not that funny at all.

That is the perfect way to describe it. And it'll probably take a rude awakening to shake us out of it.
