1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief.Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.
4. THR GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present,so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid ?
7. THR TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The stronh cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children , everyone knew exactly what to do . And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THR CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in the store , people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!
What an amazing nation , we can all learn from them, and the world could be a lot better place to live in.
