A Silver Lining
Well, I have finally decided that I would do a funds transfer to donate money to the Sichuan Relief funds. I was debating whether to go down in person (I do not know their opening hours) or to mail them a cheque.
I donated through the Embassy of China's Sichuan Relief Funds account at the Bank of China. I prefer to choose the most direct and neutral way to donate, it matters not to me which group says they will provide such and such an item.
For anyone else who feel like they may want to contribute, please remember there is no sum that is too small. Every cent and dollar helps, just help out in whatever way you can. You don't have to donate a lot of money, or go there and help, just a little bit from you is better than none at all.
I find that it is often in such situations that we see a better part of mankind. We bicker and bitch at everyone all the time, but when disaster strikes, almost everyone will stand together and feel sadness for the victims.
Remember, at the end of the dark tunnel, there will always be light. It only matters that one holds on long enough to see this silver lining.
For friends who know me long enough and have suffered my endless jokes in bad taste, they will find this familiar: 希望永远存在
