When He created man, he created\neverything else; character, life, intelligence, emotions and everything nice.\nOf course, what is the point of life without tests? He wanted to make sure that\nwhen He created man, when He sculptured him to perfection, he was good from the\ninside out and was worthy to one day bask in His magnificent grace. So then came\nthe brother of Good; Evil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nwe all know, sad to say, the passengers and cabin crews of MH370 are not going\nto see another day; another dawn of promises, another night of wonders, another\nhope of come blissful spring, another grandeur of the changing autumn, another beauty\nof winter\u2019s dance or another heart summer\u2019s day. A tragic event that changed\nthe course of history. AN event so sad and heartfelt that all corners of the world\nare wrapped in a veil of anguish and torment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day\nby day, by each passing step, the whole world is coping and grieving for the\npoor souls lost, a feat I admire because come to think of it, mankind is at its\npeak of magnificence. Every living breathing soul alive has done his part and\nstill is doing whatever he can In the hope of returning the missing souls back\nto their families when in any other case all hope is gone. Countries, which\nwhen compared to Malaysia, seemed like gigantic titans, are extending their hand\nto help us in this tornado of misery. America is sending planes and jets, China\nis sending ships and Australia is leading the search. Countries, which days ago\nwere indefatigable in relishing their greatness relative to us; countries that\nwere hell bent on proving their superiority and we, fighting back with all that\nwe had, swords plunging, guns blazing, canons firing; literally hell on Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then\nthere was an act of God. An emotion long planted into the hearts of man, an\nemotion long buried deep, tired of its endless sleep, resurfaces on one\npeculiar day at a peculiar time; compassion. A gift from God that rarely is\nused but on that day, we dropped our swords, we tossed aside our guns and we\nabandoned our canons. On that day, we were humane, It was indeed history of\nmodern times when the whole world came together in one voice. We set aside our animosity\nand hatred and came together to face the dreaded storm. Calls were made,\nstrategies were constructed friendships were woven and most importantly, unity\nwas struck, bond so tight I am sure it can never be broken. And what was the\ncause of all this? Compassion. An emotion so strong it could create others. The\nhelp from all corners of the world was like water to a thirsty man lost in the\ndesert. I could not imagine where we would be in the midst of this chaos; if\nnot for the help of the people of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\nwhat grieves me is the act that it had to take an unforgiving tragedy that left\nso many scarred for life to ignite the compassion in us. When yesterday, we\nheld knives at each other\u2019s throats, a twist in events sent us to console each\nother. Life is but a simple essence. It\u2019s filled with thoughts and voices and\nconcepts we can never fully understand. An essence which is so strong that we\ncould survive the devils of war. At a time when a modern Rasputin was showing\nhis true colours. The world had to bear again the wrath of hidden human evil,\nso crazed for power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God created man, a fashioning of His magnificence.
