After watching this video by an extremely well spoken John Green:
I began to think. I'm sitting here in Canada stressing over a midterm I have to take tomorrow morning when thousands of people worldwide are mourning the loss of loved ones, or are even afraid to look at photos coming out of Japan in fear that they might see someone they love. It just makes you realize how insignificant your worries can be sometimes.
I mean entire towns were wiped out by this earthquake and resulting tsunami. Where I live the only thing that may even come close to reaching us from that earthquake is radiation from the nuclear reactors. The tsunami did not affect where I live at all, although it did cause some damage further south down the coastline. Anyways, it just seems completely trivial that I'm worried about a midterm, and grades and school when now there are thousands of people in Japan who no longer have a school to go to at all and even more who lost their lives. I know I'm not the first to say this, and I certainly won't be the last, but my thoughts go out to everyone currently in and who has loved ones in Japan.
