Friends - in the recent times (and several times in the past) Japan - has been destroyed to zero - and they have come back much stronger every time - all this with dignity, love and respect for each other.
Lets learn from the following and make our world gentler and kinder for each other... (this reminds me of what guruji has been teaching me for so many years...)
CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.
GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump seawater in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
TRAINING
TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.
I SALUTE THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN
