about "pray"for japan

hi !!
I wanna talk about "pray for japan"movement after 3.11 earthquake in the world.
I'm Japanese,but this is not opinion of all Japanese people. (of course)
Please read this entry as only MY view.

I don't live in the disaster area,so this is not voice of the casualties.(but I was involved in volunteer work for 3weeks there.)

The first time I hard about "pray for Japan"movement, I felt deep emotion,but was disappointed a bit at the same time.
I thought it is quite unlike western people to choose the word "pray".
They sometimes gave me new idea,showed new movement to improve the world.
In fact, I expected for them to say"ACT"for Japan.
People all over the world were shocked at the video which wave was attacking  cities, so they couldn't stop praying(me too).

The earthquake was unheard-of. It even accelerated the rotation of the earth.

Many countries and people do something for the loss. It's enough.
The consideration encourage many suffering people .
Japan must get over the shock.

But, if it was "act for Japan"movement, the world must be different.
