I have a secret pride

[shadowychan]

I've not updated here since long and my LJ subscription is ending soon. I've been having sleepless nights since I witnessed the tsunami that hit Japan. I saw that 1st live at the morning, I couldn't stop shivering and I cried. I'm too afraid and I wish for no nuclear activities in my country. I'm praying for all the Japanese and I wish I can donate

What happened in Japan was such a tragedy... I felt very bad as well, as I always do whenever I hear these things. I'm sorry it's not allowed to donate through the Red Cross. Religions are not important in these situations.

We are very different on these matters (and I'm glad we are, otherwise there would be no dialogues): I am neither religious - I'm a proud atheist - nor nationalist, so I accept protests and I even joined some when I thought it was right. There're governments which do not give people even chances to work and reach wellness, so I think it's right to protest and make leaders who do not satisfy their countries dismiss. No good? Do people protest? Then these leaders have to dismiss 'cause, well, democracy is democracy: people have the power and leaders have to obey them.
Anyway, I hope there will be no earthquakes there!

I wish for no more tragedies in the future. It's no problem. I accept that for now, I'd be donating if I have my personal income because people matter to me more than religions in these situations.

I'm glad you are actually sharing why you think protesting should be there. I ended up understanding it depends on the country you live in and its governments. Democracy is no where in my country, there's only heredity between the rulers. The new leader now is the son of our 1st leader. I understand why people in such countries like yours should be protesting, it's a right in a democratic country. I only don't like people started to disobey their hereditary rulers, in the Gulf you can't change those rulers. I grew up to be satisfied in whatever life I live and obey what our leaders decide for us. We always think it's the best for us.
