35 seconds. That is how long the earthquake lasted in Haiti. That is how long it took for roads to crumble, buildings to collapse, and lives to end. What a tragic reminder as to how fragile and tenuous life can be.
But this tragedy, as with others, is also a reminder at how wonderful, caring, and resilient humans beings are. How many people are as moved as I am as we witness astounding acts of courage, unselfishness, and hope in the face of such tragedy? Neighbors, strangers, and family working tirelessly together to pull people from the rubble and Haitians singing songs of hope and faith in the streets, are just a couple of the images I am referring to.
Please keep all of the victims and volunteers in your thoughts and prayers, and let us try not to judge anyone as this situation unfolds and people become more desperate for help. With a tragedy like this, there are no borders, no them vs. us - we are all just humans.
