ムスカ・たろー・ラピュタ retweetledi

In March 2011,
a 9.0 earthquake hit Japan.
Then a tsunami.
Then a nuclear meltdown.
Almost twenty thousand people died.
Millions had no water.
No power. No heat.
The world watched and waited.
For the looting.
For the riots.
For the breakdown.
It never came.
People formed lines
outside broken stores.
Waited their turn.
Took only what they needed.
Strangers shared blankets.
Strangers carried strangers.
A whole country stayed quiet
while it grieved.
Think about the last time
you watched human beings face the end of the world
and choose to be better, not worse.
Japan did that
in front of every camera.
Not as a performance.
Just as who they were
when no one was looking either.
