Japanese tsunami disaster

There is a reason why I am blogging about it only now. I found an article that touched me so much to do so.

Teachers are ensuring that 30 students in school are physically and emotionally taken care of, in the midst of finding their missing parents. These teachers have their own families too and willingly become surrogate parents to these kids. I guess being a teacher has had this article evoke much poignancy in me.

Then, my thoughts drift to the workers at the nuclear plant and the medical staff staying with their patients. They are making the same sacrifice to save others. This is true nobility; to place one's family below outsiders.
