It is on last monday, 28 March 2005, another great earthquake shook Pulau Nias, one of the island in the North Sumatera. I guess it is still fresh in our mind, one of the greatest catastrophe that happened last december at about the same place. The first Tsunami disaster has not been handled completely another disaster has come again.
If we think carefully, the first Tsunami disaster happened on 26th December 2004, which was one day after christmas. Then the second catastrophe occured on 28th March 2005 which was one day after easter. I don't know, just wonder is it a coincidence or is it a sign ? and a sign of what ? Nobody knows, only God knows. In everything there must be a good purpose behind it, only sometimes hard to comprehend with our limit thought.
This morning, I read one of the articles on the newspaper. It said that the catastrophes has changed the survivals' thoughts. These events has taught them to live their life differ from previously. Wealth is not their main goal anymore, because money and other material goods can disappear in only a minute, including life. One of the survival admit that previously she used to pray in hurry, because need to earn more money, but now she don't want to work too hard like previously. The most important thing for her now is get closer to God, because we don't know when He will "call" us. The victims has learnt through these bad experiences. This statement has reminded me too about the most essential thing in our life. and I just want to thank's God, that I don't need to experience such a bad event to realised it.
