1. THE CALM -  Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated. 2. THE DIGNITY - Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. 3. THE ABILITY -  The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall. 4. THE GRACE - People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something. 5. THE ORDER - No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. 6. THE SACRIFICE - Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid? 7. THE TENDERNESS - Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak. 8. THE TRAINING - The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that. 9. THE MEDIA - They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage. 10. THE CONSCIENCE - When the power went off in a store,people put things back on the shelves & left quietly. [Via Facebook]
