Why do I do this. I am just like most of you. From the insides. As we are. We really are. In this case I think within the area of what once I thought this was merely on a blog. It's not. As each and everyone which is on here is from all corners of the world. From lands to other lands.
I came home last night thinking all was fine and then when I assembled it all. It made me sick to my stomach. I am being as honest as I can on here. Certainly emotions can have a play. Yet within this case the human condition truly shall send a signal. Perhaps a good one I hope. We speak of hope and then there are those that are within need of hope. Hope based on the essentials of life and existence.
Within so many there may be that means and ways. So often we do write within our own means. So be it. We do as we deem fit. We do as we desire.
I recall the time of Katrina and I did my share at the time. It was not much yet that is my own privacy without any hoax. Sometimes we find that our own lives have come to be disjointed. Yet we all render the best or what we can be. Rather than what we can't. We know our own means and ways.
Yet at that time I certainly did do it. We have had catastrophe since the dawn of time. Who really cares where it was. Yet we would care if it was within our own vicinity. Wouldn't we?
Certainly we can watch all things which are happening. As I found today the merits of the Red Cross which is located in every country in the world has that open door right now with the perogative of Japan. We can toss it up and think we have our own problems. I know I could for that matter or we can act and make some sort of an impact. Some probably have. We watch, and we look. We want to see the outcome. What I do know is tend to things before they get out of hand. I think this is one of them. We can waive the wand and nurture this as being merely and only a religious act. I see it more so as a hanitaritian one. Who doesnt have $ 10.00 dollars? Think about all that are on this blog and there merit of what the merit is with doing something.
Again I have done this before but never within Multiply but I think that this is the time regardless of where you come from. Regardless of anything. If you are within a placement that you can spare a little I think regardless that this is the time. We have place monies into many areas and we place much into what all is within our own realm.
Crisis has a meaning in latin. I forget the name for it right at this moment but we are watching a land and people that predominantly have done there own thing. I would hope that each person - human being that gets this does do something. As I don't wish within this write to mention what is happening there.
What I am mentioning is about CARE.
Now even when I write that. There are many things that do come to mind but indeed if you care and I am just an ordinary Joe. Do take up this once in your probable life time to show it and do something. Some will say that it's redundant. If we lived within redundancy. Where would most be right now? That is something to think on perhaps. Forget history. Forget everything but don't forget that there are merely women and children that are within a country that is more than likely in the brinks of a slow meltdown.
This is not war. These are people that eat cheeseburgers, ride a bike, go to school. They do everything much like you or I. The reason that is? They are human beings. For myself, I could go into my own things. I could write about what all is happening. Yet my hopes and my prayers are that everyone on here sees this. I need not say where I have lived or was born nor anything as it's not about me. The best means to write this is to stay true to what I truly desire. And I am not the only one. (Emphasis on that one).
I am one human being that is hoping that you do have that opportunity as if your on a computer, basically you do. You do have that one in a life time chance to give something to a people.
It's almost like that "message in a bottle". But this is real and darn it - we all CAN. I think most all know of the Red Cross and from the bottom of my soul I hope many can. I do more than you know. I really do.
The earth did what it did. Yet women and children - a society does need help right now. You don't have too but you might look at this later and see what you saved.
YOUR HELP
No info mercials. This is a write from a human being regarding human tragedy.
Regardless of what you think of this writer. I do hope that there is some thought that is given towards this. As to help and to aid is a commodity that never needs a validation. The act of doing something as such is the act of what one feels as a goodwill of purpose. And then some.
Who benefits? We never know the answer. But the action in which we take is to each their own. I don't wish to say whom or where you place something yet anyone can place a link.
Yet it's beyond links and there always some that will act and some that might not. Yet all I know is if it was around either or any of us...we would wish the same aid.
Don't you think? As we would. Regardless of where we are. As the manner I see it which not all do we all are one and do have some - some commonalities. Being a human being is one prominent one. Hopefully there are caring people around the world. And I hope this message does get out there.
Perhaps not but the effort was in concert with a good deed done.
amigo---boundaries are the creation of mankind--we fight wars over them--we kill---creation is the creator's......no boundaries---no races...no ethnicity---fear--hunger--cold--the laughter of a child--the first blossoms of spring--love--loss---there is none among us who not understand these things---we are one heartbeat of one creation under one creator
ReplyDeleteYes yet history in every century has illustrated the acts of good will. Our creator perhaps renders our own actions. For example. Jesus carried his own cross. Perhaps god desires we as people to carry our own. I truly deem this to be an act of compassion on a basis that we can.
ReplyDeleteI reside in Canada and you my good friend reside in United States. We are beyond borders in a mission as mentioned as this is where not by way of myself but the very thought is that - we can.
I hope many do, I do mean that down there to you in SC. We have known each other a long time by these writes.
My hope....................this gets to everyone on blogs. I really do hope this.
ReplyDeleteThe International Red Cross is accepting donations, As you stated any amount will help.... Great blog.
ReplyDeleteNow and then Pam I do believe in assistance and the Red Cross is a great means. Thanks it's just
ReplyDeletehow I feel right now with it all. Nor is it a pass along. If it was you or I - we would certainly wish
for the same. Yet we have never seen anything of the likes.
.yes ..we cant foresee tragedy..but if everyone helped ...the people affected...would benefit...good blog Jack[I have first hand contact with RedCross]
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, I have not been on here much just today and I know people wish to continue with life and all.
ReplyDeleteI would say this is an effort blog as I know what you have done and as well I know we love to write on things other than this.
Yet this was something rather different if you will. As it is. I am not spreading it nor saying, "pass this along". It's my
own thoughts and I hope - I hope in the manner hope is.
" I have noticed you are spreading the word to donate and/or pray for Japan and it's people. In my heart I do believe those who have the lives of mankind in their hearts are already doing one or both.
ReplyDeleteWe can NOT stop living our own personal lives ( including happiness and laughter ) because of this horrible fate that continues to unfold in that country.....nor should they be in our thoughts or only our thoughts every waking minute. We are, after all, entitled to CONTINUE to live our lives. It is kind of you to show compassion and concern......but we can NOT shove it down people's throats.( so to speak ) We are already saturated with this devastation.....I personally don't think after this many days we need NOT to keep it alive in Multiply. This is a place where many escape to join in laughter or just sharing with others......and WE NEED the escape.
Please don't think I am attempting to tell you what you should or shouldn't do....I'm just sharing an opinion that is held by many
PEACE, MY FRIEND"
PM I got and I know this. I just wished to write on this as I felt it to be as I deemed of a good act on here.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, this was sent with a merit. And thus it is.
ReplyDeleteBesides the Red Cross another international effort that is very worth while is Doctors Without Borders http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ They are treating the people of Japan along with other medical teams. They are not supported by any government and go anywhere in the world where people need help.
ReplyDelete~ Right One ~ thanks Sharon as they are ones that certainly do more than the average!
ReplyDeleteThey already had a hospital in Haiti when they needed help. The doctors were in the disaster and went out on the street to treat people.
ReplyDeleteYep they are a team that truly goes far and beyond the norm. ~ Integrity ~
ReplyDeleteAnd then some!

ReplyDeleteI hope that is ok your current write there Sharon.
No problem. This wasn't my write though. I took this straight from their home page. They say it all.
ReplyDeleteRegardless - thanks Sharon. I was reading this one writer and for the life of me I can't find his writing but it was a tremendous one on this
ReplyDeletevery matter. Life goes on, yet I truly enjoy this sector within what is taking place. We shall look back at this in sometime and
hopefully from a better vantage. Yet within the efforts - what couldn't be better.
I have heard a lot of people saying they think humanitarian relief should stay in our country. I don't think they understand everything the people in Japan have gone through in the last few days. Not one or two but three epic disasters.
ReplyDeleteSomeone remarked on the irony of the people evacuating from the North and heading south. Now the people of Japan are running toward Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How ironic to escape nuclear disaster they run toward the first atomic bomb sites
ReplyDelete" I have heard a lot of people saying they think humanitarian relief should stay in our country."
ReplyDeleteSharon I can't comment on that one as you know. What I do know is and as an American & Canadian I do as I deem fit. For what the heresay is.
It's heresay. I don't live within that tune.
No comment at the moment Sharon.
ReplyDeleteRight now the lowest airbourne radiation is to the south. More and more countries are starting evacuations from Japan.
ReplyDeleteIt's pinnacle right now to get women and children out. That has always been a code since a long time ago. I hope evacuations do proceed.
ReplyDeleteI have never been off merely for a reason and I hope that this is happening as smooth yet as fast as possible.
If wrong so be it. If correct then a good measure is accomplished. Would that not be something we all could applaud?
I have made a donation ,But you should be careful what charity you use , Because sometime the money does not go where you want it to...

ReplyDeleteI could not agree more especially now Julie as who knows where this is going. This is why I was conservative and mentioned that each within there
ReplyDeleteown manner.
This is a pure act of love for other human beings. Everyone, regardless of country, colour, creed, when they are faced with devastation they need the love and prayers of their fellow human beings.
ReplyDeleteIt is Michelle it really is. This in no means was a advertisement. The write was based on merit and all that you have mentioned here.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of any country. It's the manner that I see things right now and it's been one of pure devestation. Yet I am not sure where
right now the monies should or can be sent as I am not sure what the Red Crosses mission is exactly at this moment.
