Look at the world around you. Catastrophies, war and killing anywhere. Yet, people play mahjong and still care about the world.
Just like his death touched us personally, so did the destruction in Japan. Peace is to understand chaos and choose to be constructive with your own human resources.
The loss of so many lives will NEVER be overshadowed by one small piece of good news ...
As an avid Mah Jong collector for many years now (www.mahjongmahjong.com) I had the greatest fortune to visit the Mah Jong museum last year (Oct, 2010) ... it was absolutely wonderful to see the passion and dedication behind such a fantastic Mah Jong collection. Chiba was quite the journey from Tokyo - an all day event involving taking many different trains and finally a very obliging taxi but so very worth it. I was very saddened to think all these pieces of history may have been lost.
Good news however, amongst such a tragedy, is ALWAYS welcome.
