iZen, read most of your posts on this thread and I agree to most of what you say but not all. I?d like to put forth the question to you? What would you do if it was you or your close one suffering directly from the turmoil in the country (don?t take it personally though as I do not know you and vice versa. If you think it?s inappropriate of me to ask you this then refrain from answering, liked your writings and wanted to know your views on this). For once get out of the comforts of your home and network of connections with which you have access to the world in your finger tips. Picture yourself in the remote area of Nepal or if you will in one of those hot pockets of Maoist activity. You want a normal life, all you want is two square meals a day.. Do you get it? I don?t think so. If not the Maoists then the Army knocks your door for information; failure to provide that leads to unwanted circumstances. What would you do? Where I am leading is.. your posts esp. the last one seems rather COLD. Based on what you say I can draw an analogy that I would be better of living my life and enjoying every bit of it when Hurricane, Tsunami or Earthquake hits and people are dying. I can argue that these are the result of past mistakes as well. Global warming led to increased hurricanes. Tsunami that rocked the Indian subcontinent last year was a mistake of non disclosure. You can compare the natural catastrophe with the man made catastrophe? in both cases people are in need of HELP. What I would like to say is your present is the result of your past which you have no control over but your present shapes your future, which you can very well control. So If every one says I cannot do anything then who will it be that will be doing something? Your thoughts???
