Post 3.11
As a fellow human sharing the same time and space, I would like to extend my strong feelings of solidarity to all the people who have been affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and who have been facing tremendous challenges. There are no words of comfort for the people who lost their lives; I offer my sincere prayers to their souls.
Though the disaster is far from over, one thing I can say for sure is that we have been forced to change since the earthquake. Like it or not, from now on every one of us will be living in the 'post earthquake' era.
Unlike other natural disasters, it has evoked a different and profound question in us because of the nuclear power plant accident that followed. Our inner voices cry out loud questioning the way of life we have practiced until now.
An era has ended. At this moment it is extremely hard to contemplate, but we will create new hope. We will dream of a new future. This is our responsibility for living 'post earthquake'.
