Life IS fragile..
7:15 PM
Think i better blog about what i wanna blog about as mentioned in the previous entry.
Yeah, cabbage, life IS fragile (her latest blog entry title). One news clip moved me. Made me think about life. Made me treasure life and everything around me even more. You'll never know when you'll die..
Sometime during the previous week, i saw the news about the Singapore rescue team in Indonesia that managed to find one survivor of the recent earthquake after 2 to 3 days if i'm not wrong. The lady was carried out of the rubble, then laid on the ground and she shook the hands of the rescue workers and kept thanking them non stop for saving her life. She was speaking in malay. She also thanked god for still being alive. Then she started saying that her daughter, sisters, parents were all crushed by the walls and stuff and were all dead. I was truly saddened by that.
It makes me think how fortunate we are to be living in Singapore, to be free from major disasters, to have a good economy, to have peace in the country etc. Yet we all take these for granted. We complain too much for not having enough freedom, complain for the need to go to school, complain for not getting what we want, have unlimited wants, always hoping for more.. and the list goes on.. Think again, we are so much better off than hundreds, thousands, millions of other people out there who are suffering, whose lives are constantly in danger. True enough, kids nowadays are getting too pampered. We should all be contented with what we have. Contentment is happiness. |
