“In Global Catastrophe
Everybody Hurts!”
(Texas, Florida, Mexico, India, Africa and Montreal! Devastation isn't just all about us)
By Glenn Peppers
Isn't it amazing just how our news media can shut out a situation, or even a major news story, even a major event like that of an act of nature, like the aftermath of an 8.1 magnitude earthquake! I'm speaking of the 8.1 magnitude earthquake that happened in Mexico Saturday Sept9th, 2017 in the evening, EST!

There's only been minimal news reports on just how badly those hundred's, and maybe thousands of earthquake victims have been ravaged and displaced! No news on any rescue efforts that I’ve seen! Maybe some of you have seen otherwise! I’m hoping so!
Remember, Mexico was, and actually did start to help us. And were on their way here to help us after Hurricane Harvey! And totally on an unconditional basis! But when they're own homeland in lower Mexico was hit with a huge major earthquake.

There were not very many news reports, and or stories of help or survivor information being broadcast concerning Mexico's dire situation and damage. Barely even on a minute scale! And that was understandable, because we were in the midst of the worse Hurricane winds and storm surge waters in modern history!

Still, there's 24 hour news stations on cable TV! And I watch a lot of cable network news! And I've barely heard anything, if at all about the extent of Mexico's devastation, and widespread mass destruction as a result of this earthquake! Not to mention (no pun intended) the massive storms, and massive flooding in other far-off places affecting various people around the world, even as you read this article!

There are global localities that are suffering very high numbers of injured flood victims, and many casualties registering in the hundreds of thousands.
Natural disasters are breaking down peoples and infrastructures in many places like India and Africa! Even Montreal, Canada!
Yet we here in america act as if we are the only people, place and situation that matters in the world!

I know what happened here in Texas and Florida and Georgia and the Carolinas was massive! Even the word Catastrophic doesn't do the damage throughout the lower Atlantic justice!
 |
| Flooding in India, Bangladesh |
But that shouldn't stop us from at least acknowledging the affliction of others who are suffering horribly elsewhere, and at least offer some kind of encouragement; and at best Our Prayers! Just showing the entire world that we care would mean so much to so many! The blessings in return would be felt in so many ways, by so many!

In the midst of our own pain, it should never just be all about us alone! We should be more compassionate! In truth, we should all be ashamed of ourselves! But I say, Fear Not! Hold On!..... A Bigger than life Vast Love is on its way! And it can heal much pain!
