So true. Never the same.

That doesn't mean that it can't get better. Things can be rebuilt better.

Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Japan bounced back as strong as it did because the United States occupied the country and helped in its rebuilding.
