Are we taking life for granted, thinking disasters only happen to others by their own doing or at the hands of others? Are we overmedicated by the media? For whatever reason, the foresight of this eloquent statement "Never Forget Disaster while Enjoying Peace" is a profound mantra to live by- so that in the unlikely likelihood that we experience or live through either a manmade or natural disaster - we can be the ones to offer help instead of needing help. Complacency, quite simply, is a lack of gratitude and foresight. 9/11, the tsunami, Katrina, and now Haiti are all wake up calls for us to change ourselves and our lifestyles of consumption. Time is over for idle discussions. We need to get to work and prepare for the future and future generations before it is too late. Interestingly, the author's comment was posted on November 12 - just two months prior to Haiti. The time to prepare is NOW. Why have we grown complacent?
