The World Stops for No One

Hopefully, you've all heard about the massive earthquake that struck Haiti this week and all the disastrous consequences of that natural disaster that the people of Haiti are dealing with right now. There are hundreds of American citizens in Haiti, so of course the U.S. must deploy help to rescue people. However, though pessimistic of me...I asked myself. Why is it that hundreds of countries resent the United States for its wealth and whatever other reasons there are, but when they are in need, they look towards the United States to send money and aid to help them deal with their problems? I thought everyone was anti-U.S. Apparently not - since people still ultimately recognize the United States as a superpower in the world. I'm just saying.

Also, I notice that although several people are tweeting on Twitter, "Oh, those poor people in Haiti," or etc., the world still goes on. No matter how big the catastrophe, we must all move on with our lives and deal with whatever comes our way one day at a time. How depressing.

On the bright side, it might not rain tomorrow, my fellow citizens of San Jose! Yay for California weather.
