Reading several articles about what is happening & how they are coping I came across this :-
Why is there no looting in Japan? – Telegraph Blogs
It strikes me as very profound when compared as mentioned to similar situations in our Worlds recently past history, why are the Japanese people seemingly more civilised & resilient in the face of such adversity than some other Countries ? |
I share the same thoughts, Dave. The Japanese throughout history have always demonstrated discipline and good order in society - unlike the weeping and wailing so evidently displayed by other cultures. Emotion can never be dismissed, but neither can bottling things up as we all tend to do from time to time. My heart goes out to the Japanese people as a whole . . . and shame on the God who has seemingly abandoned them.
