heartless as this may sound I don't see what praying will accomplish, it is true that most of us can do nothing
about the quake itself but we can always donate to the Red cross and other organizations that will need the money to
take care of the victims.
Although you may consider prayer useless, prayer is a way to give hope to those who are in need of hope. To hope that a
higher being will watch over and comfort those affected is what prayer can do. Hope can do a lot. And prayer is a form
of spreading that hope. You may not see the point to it, but it isn't your place to say to people that their
prayers are useless. It isn't.
We cannot do anything about the earthquake itself, as it is a force we cannot win against (and it's already over),
but we can assist where we can in the aftermath of it. We can donate monetarily or do what we can to spread the
information on how others can donate if we, ourselves, cannot so that those who can donate will know how to donate. And,
we can also offer services or goods in exchange for others to donate (in such communities as help_japan on
livejournal).
I will pray and donate.
