1. THE CALM
N...10 things to learn from Japan.<br /><br />1. THE CALM<br /> Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.<br /><br />2. THE DIGNITY<br /> Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. <br /><br />3. THE ABILITY<br /> The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.<br /><br />4. THE GRACE<br /> People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.<br /><br />5. THE ORDER<br /> No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. <br /><br />6. THE SACRIFICE<br /> Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?<br /><br />7. THE TENDERNESS<br /> Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.<br /><br />8. THE TRAINING<br /> The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.<br /> <br />9. THE MEDIA<br /> They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.<br /> <br />10. THE CONSCIENCE<br /> When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!Intellibloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262938291462934103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-70099292508529596892011-03-14T21:21:36.243-11:002011-03-14T21:21:36.243-11:00This is so beautiful and looks so Japanese!!!!This is so beautiful and looks so Japanese!!!!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969764234193384841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-58310847987192683492011-03-14T09:44:44.567-11:002011-03-14T09:44:44.567-11:00Beauty keeps us sane even in the middle of the wor...Beauty keeps us sane even in the middle of the worst nightmare.Penthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226869141298079186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-73215434199299556792011-03-13T11:39:58.581-11:002011-03-13T11:39:58.581-11:00Yes, not a tsunami.
