There is no doubt of the deadly seriousness of the bushfires that have devastated whole regions of Victoria or the floods in Northern Queensland. Like, most our hopes and prayers go out to the grieving families for the loss of loved ones, and the human cost in terms of property and suffering. We as Australians must be stoic and resolute to do everything we can possibly do to help those affected and those in real need; either spiritually, emotionally or charitably.
Right or wrongly, the only way to move on is to support one another as best we can, so that life can move on. Some happiness here and there has to be mixed with the sadness, otherwise there is a risk of falling into despondency and remorse. Showing people care for each other, in my view, is equally important.
If the frivolousness of this thread has worried you, then I unreservedly apologise.
