Recently, an earthquake struck Afghanistan, causing more than 900 deaths. It is shocking, it is heartbreaking…
In fact, I realized that the actual number of deaths is far higher than 900.
Because it’s not only those people who died — their families, friends, and loved ones also died. Not a physical death, but a death of the heart. When the heart dies, it means part of the body also dies.
So when I see someone killed one person, in reality that guy killed six or seven people.
On a larger scale:
Cutting down a tree is not just about the tree — it also destroys the animals that live there.
Burning a series of books is more than just releasing CO2, it restricts the thinking power of millions in the future.
When disaster strikes a city, it is not only the victims and their close ones who suffer. The entire city is affected, the sadness hang over the entire sky.
