At this moment whilst the many dead bodies are not yet burried, when the injured are literally waiting in the rain for medical care, when cries are being wept, condolences and sympathies are only good for politicians and bureacrats. They woud hardly save a soul or make the wounded feel any better or wiser. Nearly 5,000 lives ended and many homes destroyed sicne my last post! I wanted to express this sorrow of course, but what the Yogyakartans need more is real help. NOT WORDS.
At this moment I'm ashamed of and would like to curse myself--for thinking this way, and for not being able to reach out let alone help out. No one can be really prepared for such ever-clandestine disasters; still first-aid emergency measures could have been better. A better system needs to be in place. NOT ONE, EVER, RELYING ON CHARITY.
