Did They Deserve It?

Did they deserve it??






recently there has been a video going around Facebook, it had a title that sort of said that why Japan deserved to die, and other titles saying that the sea nature strikes back in revenge to Japan, etc....

of course as angry as I was, I had to get my facts right before making any further comments... so as much as I hated it, I sat down and watched that whole video... and yes, I can agree it shows one of the cruelty of Japanese people when they killed the dolphins like that, but that whole video was a video telling people to rise up against all these cruelty against sea creatures... not a video saying that this is why Japan deserved to be hit by a tsunami...

and people were commenting and agreeing on how true that video is, people commenting all over saying that they deserve to die because of what they did to the dolphins, that because in history when they killed countless people, they all deserve to die a slow and cruel death, and because they abused nature that's why nature stuck them back and killed them all... and all the comments bearing so much hate in it...

but I think the worse comment I've read was said that "they deserved it!!"


.........did they??


was it because of a minority of people who killed dolphins...
that Japan was hit with a 8.9 magnitude earthquake followed by a tsunami
that the things that people worked hard for were all destroyed in a blink of an eye....

and it's not just the houses, it's not just the buildings, it's not just the cars and the technologies that were lost... so were the lives...
the lives that belonged to people who loved them...
the lives that people are still endlessly searching for...
the lives that people would cry for when they find out the painful truth that they could not be found....
did they deserve it??

There were far more worse pictures you can find about the earthquake, some so bad I couldn't even look at it again... but I really salute those people who have the guts to point their camera at a person in such sorrow, and yet take a picture... I really do... I can't even imagine taking a picture like that ever, but then again... we really do need people like this, with pictures like these to really open our blind eyes to really see what's going oyou know.... I feel my body shaking as I'm writing this, I can say I would've even broken out in tears already if I wasn't trying to hold it back... but what has our world become?? In the midst of people's brokenness, in the midst of the pain and sorry, in their moment of losing someone they love, and yet we have people going around saying that "they deserved it"

I mean.... is that even right to say?? Or have we begun to lose our humanity already?? Have we begun to lose what is that feeling of sorrow, compassion, shame, or even love??

Sure there's no doubt that in this world there are bad people, really, really bad people... some whom even I agree that they deserved to be dead, but how about the innocent? How about those who had nothing to do with any of these?? How about a guy who was living an honest life all along and at a split second his family was taken away from him?? Did they deserve it??

We all have to pay for the consequences of our sins someday, but as much as you and me, and everyone on this planet earth.... we all deserve the right to live, the right to be alive, as much as you need air to breathe, the guy beside you deserves the same right to breathe and stay alive...

hmmmmmmm.......

this goes beyond just animal cruelty, this goes beyond killing dolphins... if you consider that a reason for all Japan to die... we deserve every single bit of it too... how about our country too??
where we have corrupted people, snatch thief, killing, bribery, you name it... if you ask me it's almost the same, don't we deserved to be invaded and killed by people of other countries too?? Don't we deserve an equal punishment as the others??

I'm not laying a curse on anyone here.... but I just want to say that the same right we deserve to live, the same right belongs to everyone else, as much as we deserve kindness and compassion, so do they... this isn't a time to hate, but a time to love...

so before we make a comment online, I think we've gotta think about what we are going to say again and again before clicking on the "comment" button... I know I've learned it the hard way, and neither of us should be called a fool for making some bad comment like that every again...

This has got to stop......
