“灾难并不是死了两万人这样一件事，而是死了一个人这件事，发生了两万次。” —— 北野武（日本导演，1947～）
对于灾难的死亡概念，我发现只要数目一多了，我们的心就逐渐麻木了。毕竟事不关己，己不劳心。
譬如说：“还好啦，昨天（14/04）才死了一个人而已。”
譬如说：“这些人真该死，都不会好好珍惜生命。”
这些人“真该死”？
“才”死了一个人？
很有可能，对他的挚爱来说，是死了整个世界。
很有可能，他也是在不知情之下，患上疾病的。
慈悲观，就是在讲着这一季的人生，我们大家不要让自己的心麻木。就拾起一点点悲心。不用多，就一点点。至少这些话，不要说。也劝亲友尽量少说。
今天，77个人因Covid19去世了。
真相是：“一个人患病突然去世，这件事在马来西亚已经发生了七十七次。”
我们共勉之。彼此提醒。
谢谢大家、祝福大家。
以量

My attempt of interpretation:
"The disaster was not about the death of 20,000 people, but the death of one person, which happened 20,000 times."-Takeno Kitano (Japanese director, 1947 ~)
Regarding the concept of disaster death, I found that as soon as the number increased, our hearts gradually became numb. After all, it's not affecting you personally, hence least of a concern ...
I once read, "Fortunately, ONLY one person died yesterday (14/04)."
Another occasion, "These people are really damned, they should have valued their lives more."
Are these people "really damned"?
"ONLY" died a person?
Put it in perspective: for his beloved one, that ONLY one’s passing meant the whole world is dead.
It is possible that he could have contracted the disease unknowingly.
In essence, we ought to practice compassion in this chapter of life. Do not let our hearts numb. Do have some mercy. Not much, just as much as you can spare. At the very least, don’t spit those seemingly-nonchalant but hurtful words. Don’t say it yourself and do advocate to your relatives and friends refrain from saying it.
Today, 77 people died because of Covid19.
The truth is: "A person died out of a sudden having contracted the disease. And, this has happened 77 times in Malaysia."
In solidarity we stand. In mutual support we live.
Thank you and blessings to everyone.
