May Day...

May Day... who doesn't know this day? Guess most of us will at least know this day if not loving it and look forward to it on annual basis, it is a holiday after all.

I too remember from the movies or drama I saw... "May Day! May Day! Over!!..." that's almost a typical cockpit scene we will get to see where the pilot yellin to the 'talkie' as airplane or flying jet is in critical condition; bottomline, crashing...

It short, it simply something we human developed to yell when it comes to disaster, and we in need of help from either god or someone else.

So, for this year... just a few days after the entire world took their turn to have this wonderful 'holiday', disaster really striked one after another, first Myammar, then followed by China... a 'memorable' month to remember.

Not goin to comment much about the disasters, however, it is simply amazing to see how some leaders can demostrate to the entire world the kind of barbarian attitude, headstrong and ignorant towards the aids, forgoin 'his fellow countrymen' welfare, even life; while some others demostrate efficiency and what a true leader suppose to do during crisis.

Just like the tsunami @ Indian Ocean abt 4 yrs ago, the hurricane in US not too long after that... we saw the grief after the disaster, the aids and compassion from all over the globe... some people claimed it is the 'retribution' we human get for what we have done to the earth which supported us over generations, whist some expert said it is simply 'inevitable' that the disaster happened, it is ourselves that is to be blamed, caused we were not prepared... sounded like that's the path how the dinoseur walked into extinction and Jurassic ended. Regardless what is it, it touched me to see all the people comes around to help each other during the time like this... whether it'll lead to our extinction or not.

Afterall... time flies, and people will move on, the event will certainly change the perspective of those who survive and those who family or friends who were the victim of it... Deep down, we all know this is not the first, certainly not the end of it...

The day has settled down, and I am sitting alone quietly in my room, recalling what I heard and saw during the day... How do we save the world? Or do we save ourselves?
