Mourning the victims of the Asian Tsunami.
Flags at half mast all over Finland.
The new year starts as a national mourning day in honour of the victims of the Asian Tsunami. I think it is a good way to pay respect to both the victims but also to mother nature. Remembering that we are here at the mercy of nature is a fact. With the technology we create we think we are the master of the universe. Which is not what we are supposed to be. If you enjoy reading this blog, please accept the challenge I did, by donating 1% of your monthly salary to a charity to help with the releif in the Tsunami struck areas.

So true that we are not as omnipotent as we like to think. When all our focus was on human terrorists and dictators, Mother Nature reminded us that her weapons of mass distruction are much, much more powerful.

Donate 1/30 of your monthly salary and starve for a day.

It's humbling to be reminded how tiny we really are, and that this event is an opportunity to help with relief. Thanks for this post.

It was a terrible tragedy, I watched some videos and it is amazing how the waters reached almost 3 miles in land, just mind blowing.
