very touched after reading these heart-warming stories:http://www.facebook.com/#!/notes/jun-shiomitsu/japan-quake-as-seen-from-twitter-translated-by-me-so-quality-questionable/10150121176733830
the japanese trying their best to help each other in times like this.
their helpfulness is one of the virtue that i admire.
during our japan trip, even the passers-by were more than willing to show us the way, very patiently with a smile.
this time, it's really 患难见真情。
and this made me wonder.
will things be like this too if it were to happen to us?

I wonder: Is it possible that such events serve to remind the country of the transience of life, and hence are one reason why the Japanese are as restrained and go-with-the-flow as they appear? Can such traits, then, translate into building blocks of resilience?
Ultimately, do such disasters inure a people to the prowess of Mother Earth, resulting in an admirable unified resilience?
I liken Japanese people to bamboo. Zen teaching extols the plant’s flexibility... how it imparts extraordinary strength and endurance. See, the bamboo never snaps when subjected to force. Rather, it sways and bends. And goes with the flow - and springs back, unafraid of adversity.
And if going with the flow helps one to better deal with external circumstances and events beyond his control, how can it be a negative trait?

i found this pretty interesting and meaningful.
