Came across this website and it really affects my view of this world again. Its just so upsetting to see the photos and it gets me so much more angrier to read about the whole issue later. Why should the future generations bear such cruel consequences of the wrongdoings of some people who can't even redeemed themselves by just dying. But then again, there were no choice given at all. Chernobyl - one of the worst nuclear reactor disaster in history.
Photos of Chernobyl today: Quoted from yahoo encyclopedia: Chernobyl nuclear power station, site of the worst nuclear reactor disaster in history. On Apr. 25, 1986, during an unauthorized test of one of the plant's four reactors, engineers initiated an uncontrolled chain reaction in the core of the reactor after disabling emergency backup systems. On Apr. 26, an explosion ripped the top off the containment building, expelling radioactive material into the atmosphere. The reactor core was sealed off by air-dropping a cement mixture, but not before eight tons of radioactive material had escaped. Twenty firefighters died immediately from overexposure to radioactivity, while hundreds suffered from severe radiation sickness. Pripyat, Chernobyl, and nearby towns were evacuated. People who lived near the plant in Ukraine and Belarus at the time have seen a greatly increased incidence of thyroid cancer, and genetic mutations have been discovered in children later born to exposed parents. Ukraine has estimated that as many as 8,000 people died as a result of the accident and during its cleanup. How sad it is that your fate is sealed just because you are being born into the wrong place at the wrong time. We are seriously some plain lucky ppl in this world but yet, its such a nasty human nature that we all never learn to appreciate what we have in this world.

At times, some people just dosen't know how the word 'appreciation'... They always go on and on to complain about their life, about this and that person, about the whole wide world. They just lack the insights to view things in another way... Things that people complain usually: 1. I'm fat!! 2. The workload/homework/exams is never ending!! 3. I'm so envious and jealous of her/him having these and that.
4. My parents nags at me all the time... Shut Up!! 5. I've got not enough money... 6. My friends irritate the hell out of me... and we always quarrel.. 7. Argh!! Wth... the checkup cost me $200+... i could have shopped for some good stuffs with these money... Note: This entry does not refers to anyone. However, it happens to almost everyone i guess.. if you do see any similarity of urself to any example... learn to 'appreciate'...
How they can appreciate these things:
- I'm in the pink of my health and these fats are evidence that i'm eating well...
- I'm useful to this world... everyday my studying/working contributes to making this world a better place.
- I'm unique and irreplaceable. Even if another 'her/him' comes into this world, it can never replace the lost of me...
- At least they are around... and is healthy enough to nag at me... though i hope they do it less.
- Many beautiful things in the world comes cheap or free... it only takes a little creativity to figure how to find or get them.
- I have them as friends... thats what matters most...
- You are spending these money to know that you're in a good condition. Feel blessed that you are not spending 4 to 5 figures money just to get treatment for this good health right now.
