A deadly earthquake in China not only destroyed thousands of houses, killed tens thousand of innocent people, but also broke the hearts of billions of human beings.  Life is so fragile against nature, just like a spider web in wind. When each of us was born, there is already a cragged road ahead. Every second of our life is threatening by many many kinds of deadly diseases, grave accidents and unpredictable  tragedies. Death is the inevitable end no one really wants to rush to.  But we still have to face the tragedies.  Tears are dropping for the death of my people. Some of them are too young to leave this wonderful world.  Some of them have to face death to rescue others.

"Fragile we may seem, easily broken, yet life's tragedies guide us to our permanent and lasting inner home, our very real source of life. Forms come and go, but our constant center remains. At life's center we are indestructible. The challenges we meet come to us because we set their causes in motion. We reap the effects as we need them, to learn by experience how to live in harmony with the eternal flow of life. If we were separate entities nothing would affect us. Because we are integral parts of all that exists, we feel the ripples we create and through this process learn to live within equilibrium, restoring balance through learning and living — making a different choice the next time. Freshly we live each moment, the only time we can affect the future, for each moment is the only time we can act. The past is gone, and our future is yet to be fully formed.

Together we surround the world and sustain each other. We make a strong net. The more we support others, the easier the load is for everyone to carry. When a tear occurs, someone repairs it. All we are and all we can become is wrapped in each moment, and then the next and the next. Each choice we make changes the course of our humanity, and of the entire world. Let's make every choice count." --- quoted from "Life Is Fragile . . . Or Is It?" By Scott Osterhage
