DEATH – THE TSUNAMI

 

YOSHIE MURAMAKI FINDS HER MATHER´S BODY UNDER THE RUBBLES OF WHAT HAS ONCE BEEN HER HOME IN THE TOWN OF RIKUZENTAKATA – YOSHIE´S 23 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER IS STILL MISSING AFTER THE DISASTER.

Often I think of what happens to a man when one knows and feels death’s presence, at least more than others.This applies, for example the Japanese people and many other nations living in the quake line or people confined for years in the war.

What happens in a man? How do you become as a person when you know you may not die a natural death, when you know you might come to bury your beloved spouse, your children or your friends, When you know you might never know about your loved ones destiny after such a catastrophe?

What happens in you?Do you become a better person?Less trouble at home, more engaged, more peaceful, more philosophical, more deeply?I do not know.It is certainly different in different individuals.

It happened to me and I changed drastically for the better, definitely for the better, if you ask me anyway.

More reliable, more emotionally involved,But SMALLER, LESS definitely fun to be with.
