avoid an information overload...

we should do all the things we are supposed to do now because it won't do any good if we spend hours watching news in front of a television. shinya and i know that...and we've tried to do the things we are supposed to do as usual but whatever we're doing, we just can't stop thinking about what's going on in our country at this moment. but so what? we are safely here surrounded by everything we need (at least for now). we have nothing to whine about. there are limits to what we can do for japan from here at this moment. so what? do whatever we can do. that's all. it's nothing about right or wrong. just do whatever we can do and are supposed to do. yes, that's all we need to do.

今現地に居ない私達が日本のために出来ることは限られている。だからと言ってテレビの前でニュースの渦にのまれて、体験してもいないことを疑似体験したような気になって呆けている場合ではない。やりたいことがあるなら思う存分やるべきだし、やるべきことがあるなら淡々とこなすべきだ。ちびっこモトクロスレーサーKノスケを見よ!ところが何をやっていても、どうしても今日本がどうなっているのか考えてしまうし、気が晴れることもない。しかし何を嘆く必要があるのだろう。安全な場所にいて(いつ安全じゃなくなるか分からないけど)必要なものが揃っていて、やるべきこと・やりたいことがあるのにやらずに嘆くなんてナンセンス極まりない。それが出来なくなってしまった人達にも失礼だ。そんな風に思うけど、もし気分を悪くする人がいたらごめんなさい。ただ、こんな時こそそれが叶う環境にある私達は、それぞれがやるべきこと、やりたいことを大切にこなしていくべきなんじゃないかと思います。自分達の出来ることを精一杯やります、日本の無事と安全と希望ある未来を心から願いながら。

i dont know what to say about all the happenings in japan...i saw some photos today of before and after shots from the air of various locations and it didnt look good at all....it makes me worry about the state of our world, what we do and what we dont do (just as you say ayu) i dont think anyone in the world needs to suffer anymore but still it happens...i dont understand why.

its hard not to especially when it strikes so close to your hearts as it is your homeland....i actually discontinued our television service last year and well it has been nice not being bombarded with all kinds of information overload....

I think that human's mission on earth is to destroy it, and even though we are conscious about it, we can't help it, as we are programmed to fulfill this task by something bigger.

Ayu, our thoughts are with you guys

Be good with one another there is no more...
