Yesterday due to Monsoon rain the western part of Nepal has been flooded. A village of around 500 people has been washed away, by 300mm of rain. 22 people died. This is the type of disasters that occur frequently in Nepal. The media covers it pretty lightly, as if nothing big has happened. They have news from Iraq to put on their programs. As if the people that had been homeless by this natural disaster aren't people at all. It sounds as if a herd of goat fell off a cliff. I shouldn't call this type of incident a natural disaster but human created natural disaster.
I remember when an earthquake had taken thousands of lives in Pakistan last year. We citizens of Nepal collected funds and clothes to the people there. But now where is the same type of donations and help. Where are those helping hand that had spread before? The hand that had spread was certainly helping hands but who were they helping? People to be popular or to be known on the international stage has done so much to people abroad. The government has donated food to Bangladeshi flood victims. Where are those type of thing going on within the country. And it is strange that no one has ever noticed it.
Why, are we not humans? Don't we love our own people. We so much lack the nature within us. We have no feelings for our fellow people. We are not patriotic. This is the reason why we are still here in this position where humans life style has degraded so much that we feel ashamed in human nature. Human nature, i mean working for food for the day, the poor, the unhealthy. One must be Mother Teresa to love humans i guess. That is why people praise her, respect her like a god. May be because they know no human can do so. Why can't we all be like one! Let's start helping people. Let's start enjoying life. One shall die eventually, so why not make life beautiful.
Sadness, happiness, hardship are all part of life. Shall we not accept it? It really dose not matter. Time goes by. We then die and others will take our place. I guess it is human nature to act like this. Who am i to question human nature, so let it be!
