The
focus on Radio New Zealand has been on Christchurch this morning –
on the difficulties that people are having in the 4th year
since the earthquake coping with the emotional loss; the stress of
ongoing negotations with insurance companies and the like; and the
stress of a city that is being dug up and taken over by orange cones.
Some
emotionally (if not intellectually-) -challenged people have
expressed the view that they are “sick of hearing about
Christchurch”.
No doubt their tune will change once some disaster is unleashed on Auckland.
It
is true that anybody living outside of the disaster zone has no idea
of what it is like.
Some
of us, with just a little empathy, try to imagine what it is like.
It
brings up the old adage “there but by the grace of God go I”
