Comparing is Disgusting

Description

Because I am sick and tired of looking around and seeing people comparing the plights of Haiti, Chile, and Japan to each other. It makes me feel dirty to see people doing that and quite frankly only worsens my weak faith in humanity.

Are we honestly going to look at each other and determine that we only cared about something if it happened in a particular area or that we should have cared because this amount of people perished?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I think we're forgetting something important--oh what was it... Oh, yeah! PEOPLE ARE DEAD! That alone should make us care and the fact that people are nitpicking each other and these disasters is disgusting to me.

Earthquakes are part of our world, and they happen all the time. People forget previous earthquakes when new ones happen. It seems like the Indian Ocean one in 2004 is water under the bridge now. The earthquake that my family remembers best is long forgotten - many of my mom's relatives survived the Messina earthquake in 1908. I'm saying this because once another big earthquake happens, people will forget about past earthquakes. My family has not forgotten the Sicilian one (in fact, it was during the earthquake when my maternal grandma's mom was born), and neither have many other Sicilian families, but most of the world has because only a few people who experienced it are still alive. A century from now, Americans won't talk much about the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan. (And by then, there would have been a few more major earthquakes in those areas.)
