REPOSTED from MY ORIGINAL WORDPRESS BLOG:

I
do not know if it is me or my preconceived notion that am going to die young;
that I really get too affected by anything about death, especially by dying
young.
Within
this week, two strangers died; well they aren’t total strangers to me. One is
my sister’s friend, the other a schoolmate. I have vivid memories of the later
while, of course, my sister has much of the former. It send chills to my spine
just thinking about them, both died relatively young, just our age.
Am
still devastated by the movie I have quoted, seen it ‘till the end – for the
first time today. And damn, I cried. I was like 11 when the twin towers was
bombed (hit by planes) and I don’t really have any relative experience, but,
perhaps because of what I said above, I have had these strange feeling whenever
its brought about, still do. Lives lost – that’s just too much.
But
yet again, this is but reality. The world is beautiful – but there lurks fate,
bad fate sometimes. And sometimes bad things happen, people die, things go wrong.
And
so, in reflection to what Tyler quoted from Gandhi; damn right; my life would
be insignificant in life’s far greater stretch. Even if I end up in history
books – or at least in Wikipedia; it’s as is, life. And am lucky enough to
still breathe and able to touch others still.
So
take it in – good or bad – and live. Life’s short.
