God bless Haiti

I was speechless with the devastation that the earthquake brought to the impoverished country. The stench of death is everywhere and people are really hopeless and hungry. The series of political upheavals, hurricanes and now the killer earthquake made the BBC called Haiti as the most unlucky country in the world. Are the Haitians really that unlucky? Does it have to do with the name of their country? Can the Feng Shui experts turn this country around?

I think that what happened to Haiti is God’s way of reminding us that we’re insignificant. We’ve proven that during the series of disasters in the Philippines. It’s also a way to upset the population explosions in the world. Somebody has to die somehow, yes? That also explains why regardless how advanced our technology nowadays, doctors and scientists could still not find the fountain of immortality.

Going back to Haiti, disasters like this also brings out the best of humanity. People and countries the world over are helping each other. Tons of food and drugs are shipped to Haiti so that people there will suffer less. The United Nation, who have several casualties with the collapse of the UN Structure in Haiti also pledge several peace keeping forces and aid.

In trying times like this, we could only hope for the best. God bless Haiti.
