"Life is unpredictable and extremely fragile."
I learned about the demise of an acquaitance some days back. That piece of news threw me into total disbelief. To think i just saw her 2 months back while clubbing together. I can still remember vividly acknowleging her presence and dancing with her. Though we were never close, i couldnt get to sleep that night. i was still reeling from shock. While tossing and turning about on bed, countless unfathomable questions flooded my mind. I couldnt understand why someone our age has already passed on.. HB smsed me later at night, asking me for this particular guy's number. That sorta made me more depressed coz HB is her good friend. I dunno how to console HB or what to say to her to make her feel better. In the end, i only manage words like brighten up and dun be sad anymore. Simple words, i believe, that did little to alleviate her agony. The sad fact that she did not pass away from illness made her death seem more surreal, because no one expected it at all. Her demise made me realise how dangerous it is to be riding pillion. So friends, pls do take care of yourself and dun put ur life at risk ya? Accidents are heart-wrenching. From this incident, i want to learn how to enjoy the untangible things in life now. Intangibles such as friendship, love, family ties and so on. I urge u guys to do the same. It's the intangibles that gives us more meaning and purpose in life. There really is no point pursuing wealth purely. No point incessantly comparing ur self proclaimed pathetic, poor, hard life with those u deemed are so high up there. Is there really a point in all these worthless comparison? Is there a need to ruin a friendship just coz u envy ur friend, because u want to win ur friend? It is not ur friend who made u this angry person. It stems from all ur insecurities. We should learn to take things as they come and learn to let go. It's definitely not easy, but i'm going to give my best shot in achiving it.
