What to do?

The devastation in Japan is horrible. It is so sad what is happening there. I live thousands of miles away. So what am I to do. Of course there is donating money to the red cross, but besides that. Life elsewhere cannot stop because of what happened but it is hard to go on as if nothing is happening. It feels ignorant to just move on. But what would happen if we stopped for every tragedy? Wouldn't the world always be at a standstill? When you are in the middle of if all you hope and pray that people out there remember about you and will help. But when you are outside of it, you give money, donate some supplies and hope someone else will help those people otherwise. The show must go on. You have to go to work, you have to go to school. You probably shouldn't stop seeing your friends or doing fun things or working out. It's the hard reality of the world, while somewhere someone is in pain and needs help, elsewhere people are going on about their lives. Are they bad people even if they donate? What should they be doing?
