Sad

Lately, I've had a few reasons to cry, varying from something lame to something pretty heart wrenching.

First, Tenjo Knight in Zettai Kareshi died. )': I like his straightforwardness and his selflessness. Well, he's a robot... But yeah...

Second, I wrote a story and a sadist I (as a writer) actually grew to like had to die. There was just no way for him to survive and well, he had to die, because his existence was not meant to be... Kinda depressed me.

And finally...

A Japanese colleague who keeps in contact with Liz via office email wrote a personal email to her telling her about his personal viewpoint of the whole Japan earthquake thing. I don't remember the exact details but anyway...

He's a recently married man with a one year old baby. He wrote about how he and his Korean wife were just newly wed, and now everything has been turned upside down. Nobody died, but I'm not sure if it was his home he was referring to that he said he could see minor damages. Because of the whole thing, he decided to send his wife and his baby to Korea for the time being. He's very sad that he has to send his baby back to Korea, especially now that his baby (don't know if it's a she or he) is still in a growing up phase and is constantly wanting to play with him. He was lucky to book a flight bound for Korea. He wrote about how he keeps seeing the increasing death toll, the radioactivity thing... There's power shortage and he lives with blackouts for some lengths of time. He's going to be alone, and he doesn't have the heart to go to work anymore. He asked for well wishes.

His English was poor and broken, but his feelings and thoughts were beyond his words.

I don't personally know him, but whenever I think about his predicament, I can't help but cry.

My uncle's wife is currently in Yokohama, and I don't think she's exposed to any form of danger yet...

I'm not sure why I'm crying so much about things that don't even concern me recently. It does however, give me a better perspective on the things that matter to me...
