I feel sorry for the people of Japan, however there is no real effect on me and there is nothing I can personally do to ease the suffering felt there(barely enough money to pay my own bills, let alone donate to a cause). It may seem heartless to read that but I simply understand that the situation is bigger me, and I could not change a single part of it. I do feel sadness for the loss of life but I also acknowledge that I am thousands of miles away and that on this side of the globe life simply goes on.
