"China says quake death toll likely above 50,000
"If there are some survivors under such conditions, it would be a matter of luck, or a miracle," said Zhang Zhoushu, vice director of the state-run China Earthquake Disaster Prevention Centre.
Yet amidst the tragedy, miracles did occur
Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar on 2 May 2008, leaving at least 31,938 dead and 29,770 people missing.
Dozens of the 63 villages surrounding the town of Labutta have been wiped out and US estimates the death toll could hit 100,000."

You know how reading news can be pretty depressing so maybe in times like this, we ought to count our blessings. But instead, I've been thinking quite a bit and getting myself confused over stuff. Then again, just when I was at the peak of it, I read this line in the book which I am currently reading. It can't get any more apt. Perhaps the searching for answer to this confusion will really help me bloom pretty flowers.
