There's been a lot of coverage in the news and on the internet about the absolutely mind boggling natural disaster that was the tsunami in Asia but I chose to reference this site because it's a forum I regularly visit and can attest to the relatively high level of discourse, they include a list of links to sites that are accepting donations, and the mentions of friends, fellow posters and family infuse the casualties with personal emotions...something that often gets lost, or is rendered simply incomprehensible when the death toll is so high.
This isn't helping the lingering traces of depression that are still around after my late afternoon chaser...but I really don't care. I want to feel badly about this massive amount of life lost. It's hard, however, to fight the accompanying mind-churning; what can I do? what can I give? if I wait until I'm paid, is that horrible? if I don't give my entire paycheck, am I bad? if I don't go because I'm swamped with work and home, does that make me selfish? And on. And on.
At least I have the luxury of thought....negative or otherwise. There are many, many people in Asia that don't.
