I received a mail from one of my friends in which I saw these contents which reiterate the world how a brave and prestigious society should react and overcome a disastrous situation of all time. Yes, it's the Japanese. They displayed the entire human race their noble attributes while disastrous Tsunami, Earthquake and aftermath agony engulfed, attacked and devastated their soil brutally.
I like to share with you,Guys...just to salute and bow to the people of Japan for their possession of esteemed qualities like these. The contents go like this....
10 THINGS TO LEARN FROM JAPAN
1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No sensationalizing. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.
I pray God to save these people from continuous natural disasters which keep them thrashing to lead a hell like life in Earth. Their behaviors at a crisis like this send a message across all over the World, how a matured community will face and reflect in a situation like this. I feel everything except one in the above qualities are much for humans to follow. Yes, I disagree with item number one above as it depends on individual’s strength and ability to win over a grief situation. I didn't find anything wrong in expressing one’s feelings when it comes to human loss. If one thinks it’s okay to show happiness uncontrollably, what is the problem in expressing grieves?
"Feelings" are not the things which can always be kept under control like regulating the speed of a ceiling fan by a mechanical means. It’s to be felt…that too deeply to its maximum extent. These are the things gifted by God only to the human society…to cry and laugh…! To express one’s state of mind. These are all natural reactions of human beings. It seems the human society has not realized the evil effects caused out of controlling the order of Nature. These feelings distinguish humans from the rests. They reflect the life and love of the people. They are not like unconquerable things such as Birth and Death, they are the things which are beyond the arguments of conquering or defeating. That's why they are termed as "Feelings". We can’t behave like a ROBOT. And, We shouldn't. They display the lifestyle of a Soil, a Society.
India believes in it. Very strongly indeed. That’s why India still has its life and soul undisturbed. We just live what we are…! We just go by our customs...by giving significance to the beloved ones, whether its birth of a child on this soil or a sudden loss of a dear and near. We show our feelings extraordinarily...! That love can’t be stopped just to show the world that we are decent…! And, it shouldn't be meant like that, of course. If one argues that it can be stopped and controlled, then its inevitable to doubt his/her love.
Anyways, rest of the things (from 2 to 10) which have nothing to deal with the way we express our love and affection over the loss of a beloved soul, are the utmost characteristics for the human society to possess. "The deeds"-every part of this world to follow. All we have to adapt ourselves those qualities to lead a meaningful life. Those qualities of the Japanese teach us-"The world” how we have to be well dignified, truthful and conscientious in our daily life.
