A Touching Story of The Sacrifice 1 Man Created For His Youngster
I can’t believe how touching this video is. Happy fathers day to all of the fathers that really like their kids this considerably.
Unshaken
A devastating earthquake hit the New Zealand city of Christchurch yesterday.
Although this tiny nation of four.2 million people remains in a state of shock potent stories of really like, faith, hope, courage and sacrifice proceed to trickle in.
When earth shakes, it reminds us of impermanence of almost everything right here.
But human spirit prevails above the ruins of evanescent.
It stays unshaken.

“The point that haunts a guy most is what he is not ordered to do” -Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino (2008).
Seldom do we really expertise actual genuine sacrifice of note. The motion picture Gran Torino, developed and directed by Eastwood, even so, presents a rousing story rooted in the sacrifice of one man’s existence for yet another younger guy. It is a story caged in belief of character.
There are at least two deeply philosophical messages in Gran Torino for the interested analyst:
one. When pressed in life, detach, consider, plan and keep calm–do not rouse the enemy
Set in a gangland cacophony, Kowalski’s Korean War background is the Vesuvius the gangs will not anticipate. Towards the climax of the movie when the be-friended Sue Lor (Ahney Her) is bashed and raped closed to death by the Asian gang lead by Sue’s cousin, Kowalski retreats within himself. The enemy seemingly expects a fast retort.
Alternatively, like the Shaman warriors of Mexico, Kowalski retreats momentarily while the odds are not able to be contended with. He detaches and thinks. He separates from himself for a short time. He stays calm and plans, delivering the enemy at some point with a response they’d hardly expect.
two. The courage of sacrifice
The response is one particular that no 1 could count on. He offers his existence so that young Thao (Bee Vang) can expertise a normal lifestyle without having the risk of the Asian gang hassling him. This type of sacrifice–a existence for a existence–is some thing we hardly conceive. And this is exactly why Satan was defeated by Jesus. Satan in all his wisdom couldn’t suppose to think like God. But, in Gran Torino, Kowalski did feel like God.
Finally, the quote at leading is chilling for us all. It is easy for us to absolve ourselves of duty or blame when we just obey somebody, rightly or wrongly, though our consciences nevertheless need reconciling. When we do items of our very own volition, however, there’s no going back–we reside and die by our choices.

ছবি, নাম ও ক্যাপশন……৩টি একত্রে আমার মন কাঁপিয়ে দিল। ঢাকা শহরেও ভূমিকম্পের মতিগতি ভাল দেখা দিচ্ছে না। কদিন আগে Flickr এ থাকা অবস্থায় ঝাঁকি খেলাম।

I was in Christchurch various times on my way to and from Antarctica. I am touched by the event.
her father is still alive in 2:54 look at he’s heart
Well this is poetic picture justice…
Such an explicit capture to portray the disaster and dedicate it to the earthquake victims of Christchurch..
I find this happening so hard to believe, it is was such a sedate city and will be again…We are such insignificant creatures in the big picture; strange how some of us feel so important at times…
From someone who hugged a tree through it, I heard it was quite an experience; the worst shaking experienced not by those rattled in the instant, but by those suffering it second hand, through loved ones lost. (Yeah, to me it sounds like something fun to be caught in.)
An intriguing moment of glory here, caught amidst the harshness of rubble.
excellent lighting and superb bokeh.
Nice
A beautiful shot to commemorate all those lives lost and thrown in turmoil.
Shit like this always makes me cry :’) I totally broke down
