Perspective

I am not sure how many of you are following the natural disasters in Japan, but you should.

Japan was hit with what has now been recorded as one of the largest, if not the largest, earthquake in recorded history. On top of that, the tsunami that resulted from the quake buried cities more than 6 miles inland as the pacific ocean rushed on shore for more than an hour.

Now, there have been two explosions at two nuclear plants and up to 6 plants are unstable.

One town is missing more than 10,000 of it's 17,000 residents.

4 Passenger trains have been swept away and have yet to have been found.

Early death tolls are in the 10's of thousands.

400,000 people are homeless with no electricity.

So getting up early and going to school, doing some homework, and the number of other things we have to do that we may think are tough everyday, should seem somewhat less important.
