100,000 lives.
100,000 people.
Now, 100,000 bodies.

Mothers, fathers, children, girlfriends, boyfriends, uncles, best friends.

Whole families wiped out, except for the odd and unlucky survivor.

The sheer amount of misery and heartbreak that has swept over this world in the last few days is mindboggling.

An earthquake. A wave. And more than 100,000 people lose their lives.

Well, as a very wise person once said:

Even if there is a god, I sure as hell wouldn't like him.

I don't believe any of that contributes to "living life to its fullest" (that is, while it may be entertaining, there are usually even more fulfilling things that a person could spend his or her time doing).

I've got a good life, so I'm making sure I live well.

And I know if I don't go stroke my ego and inner hedonist once in a while, I am no good for making the world a better place.
