It's an interesting study of human emotion when we're faced with something so horrific, something so terrible, something that rips one's heart in two...and something we hope never, ever happens again. When we hear of tragedy and human loss of life and hundreds of thousands of people without homes - never mind clean drinking water - we want to do anything and everything we can to help.

The Boxing Day tsunami in south Asia has called upon citizens of the world to respond in overwhelming ways. Relief organizations are reporting people contributing the thing needed most - cash - in the multi-millions of dollars. And while there is no way we can ever, not even for the briefest thought, consider the earthquake a positive thing, the global neighbourhood has never shed a more caring light on the world. It's something we all should take great pride in."
