My TV was showing the rescue attempt of the trapped Chilean miners. Basically, they put a pod into a drilled hole and will go down 600+ meters below ground. It is a rather exciting and the same time worrying attempt. First the miners have to overcome from claustrophobic as the pod just fit exactly their whole body, no more no less.
Above the ground, around 1500 journalist waiting for them to raise above. It is a rather an inspirational story. How did they live through these months in the trapped hole! With the pouring support from their wives, families and the nation, their spirit was kept alive. Now is the moment they will see the surface of the earth again, like a reborn!
The incident just reminded me of how important it is when you have somebody you care and love very much, be thankful. The families and the miners here were trapped by a layer of soil. The separation really makes one realise how important your loved one is. You forget the fight, you forget the things you get offended with each other, you just want to touch them again, but yet you can't reach them.
I just wish all the 33 miners will be rescued soon, and a reminder to all of us - be joyful and thankful with what you have!
