I've been thinking of the same thing over and over for the past few days, and I couldn't hold it anymore. I've finally decided to sacrifice a bit of my revision time to blog about this matter:
Fragility of Life.
Everyday we can see reports regarding fatal accidents on the newspaper, but we won't feel any grief. For example, some drunk dudes trying to do the Tokyo Drift and unfortunately crashed on a tree and ended his own life is not worth a sympathy because they deserve it for not taking life seriously.
On the other hand, I'm certain that most of us are aware of the tragic accident that happened on the Batu Berangkai Waterfalls last Sunday involving 3 UTAR students.
This incident left a great impact on me. The merciless gush of water took away their lives along with their dreams and hope without a single warning. This trio were too young to leave the world, as they still have a lot more stuff to contribute for the society. Frankly speaking, I feel sad although I am not related to them. What have they done? Why must they die?
One of the victims, a male, was looking forward to his graduation in 2010 and even took mock pictures of himself graduating. He dreamt to be an accountant but sadly he never had the chance to fulfill his dream. The female victim was loved by her friends and family, being very active and sociable. Both of them are way better than those no-life drunken masters racing on the road. Compared to them, the victims had dreams, and tried to live life at their best.
Life is fragile. It is so vulnerable that we will never be able to predict what's going to happen next. Everyday we just sleep, eat, play, study. Have we done anything meaningful for ourselves and the others? When we were born, we were a nobody. When we die, we got to be somebody. We shall seize the minute and do whatever we can to bring happiness to both ourselves and other people. Remember, on average, we only have eight decades to live. And everyone has only one life to live. Make it beautiful.
Sometimes I hear people claiming that they wanted to die because they encountered problems they think they can't solve. Yes, you are in pain. But when you die, the pain will only be brought to the ones who love you. Also, whenever you say you don't want to live anymore, think about the three victims again. They needed a life more than you do.
This is no crap, I'm serious.
Rest in peace,
Yew Ghim Chnieh, James Khor Wan Kai, and Kelly Yew Shy Gin.
