IMAGES ARE A THOUSAND TIMES WORTHIER THAN WORDS, BUT HOPE AND TRUST, AND ITS CONSEQUENT RESOLVE, IS WHAT MAKE MOUNTAINS MOVE.

As a complement to my thoughts,

I want to pay homage and render my respect

to all the people involved in the gigantic relief effort

that is being done in Haiti.

There cannot not be any other emotional responses

to what I am seeing mankind is doing,

without any boundary of social standing or beliefs,

in order to relief the pain and the suffering

of the desolate, and afflicted, Haitian people.

We are usually so immersed and mesmerized

by the egotistical involvement in our own self,

that it is not illogical to believe that violence,

and uncare for others,

is the basic rule for survival and self advancement

in this world.

But God has placed eternity in the hearts of men.

Not only in the form of conscience of what is right or wrong,

but also in the form of love, compassion,

and an inner need to support and care.


As the title of these comments already points out,

images are a thousand times worthier than words,

and I cannot but admire the photographers

who so vividly are raising the awareness of all,

in relation to the fundamental need to be human,

and behave as a human being should do.

As my homage to them,

I have compiled these pictures

that have been circulated worldwide,

and made a video out of them.

It is also my homage to those who,

unaware of being pictured, incessantly strive

to rescue and help the afflicted to survive,

and persevere in believing

that there will always be a new and better day,

a clearer horizon and a future for all.

The theme of it is that we are possessors

of unbeatable hope and trust

in the goodness of God

implanted on the spirits of men.

But also the reminder

that the consequent resolve

to do what it takes,

to ease the pain of the victims of nature,

or even other men,

is what makes mountains move.

And mountains move

when we firmly believe

that God is God

and he can make a way for us

when afflicted and in pain.
