God Bless Japan

11th March, 2011. A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake caused serious damage with tsunami to Sendai, Japan.

Somebody asked me:
“If God is Mercy, why He allows such a disaster to happen in Japan?”
“If God is Justice, what did they do to deserve such a mess?”
“If God is Love, why is there so much pain and tears for?

有人問我：
“如果神是有憐憫的，為何祂容許那樣的事情發生在日本？”
“如果神是公義的，那些日本人到底做了什麼讓他們有此遭遇？”
“如果神是愛，為何會有那麼多的眼淚和痛苦伴隨？”

I was muted for awhile. Familiar questions that I asked long time ago…
Well, I don’t really have the answer for these. I only know a fact for sure: “You might not be able to grasp the reasons behind every catastrophe, but you’ll learn something from it.”
And, I realized that people tends to ask for reasons just because they’re taking it for granted. “This should not be like this, should not be like that, blah blah blah..” Don’t you think so? If God is not mercy, I wouldn’t be here anymore I guessed, what else? 😛

我靜了片刻，感覺這些的問題好像是我以前曾經問過自己的。。。
其實，我也沒能完整回答這些的問題。我只是體會到一樣事情：
“我們可能無法完全參透每樣災禍背後的原因，但是我們卻一定能夠從當中有所領悟。”
而且，我發現當人們不停去追問事情發生的原因時，他們其實已經把很多的事物當成理所當然了，不是嗎？“這不應該這樣，不應該那樣。。” 太多的理所當然讓我們忘記了自己的身份。我想，如果神不是有憐憫的，可能我早就不能活到此時此刻了。

Ganbateh! Japan. God Bless Japan. 🙂
日本，加油，願上帝繼續帶領和祝福他們。
