What is happening to the world?
Lately, many disasters are happening around the world. From Myanmmar’s cyclone, China (Sichuan)’s earthquake, India’s terrorist bombing - all within a short span of two weeks.
Yes, natural disasters is definitely not a new phenomena, I’m not saying that these countless deaths are anything new. There are many people dying and dead every day, every minute, every second.
Think. With each word I’m typing, someone just passed away. These people leave loved ones behind, every word I’m typing, someone’s crying for someone’s death.
I hate reading newspaper, because, most news aren’t good news. There are always someone dying. I feel sad when I read about deaths, sometimes I tear, sometimes I weep for them.
Whatever’s happening to our world? Nothing, and everything. Death is such a natural process, like living. We live, and we die.
Perhaps this blog post doesn’t serve any purpose.. perhaps it’s just a little girl ranting about this little world we live in. But I hope that when you are reading this, just stop for a moment and think about these innocent lives lost to disaster, terrorism, old age, accidents, diseases… feel their pain and the pain of their loved ones.. and remember that you are still alive.
Yes, always remember that it’s a blessing we are still alive, and our loved ones are still alive. Even if you had a bad day at school or work, or had a fight with your parents, or perhaps squabble between colleagues and friends… just remember that many people out there aren’t as lucky as us. Thank your God/Gods, that you’re still alive reading deadpris’s entry.
Human lives are so strong yet vulnerable. I’m not obsessed with death, but I am reminded everyday that I have a deadline. And because we all have a deadline to live, we have to treasure it. I am deadpris, because Priss will be gone someday, but I will not forget that death is always close by (hopefully by at least a good 50years more!). Do not forget that you will someday die, so that you will treasure each and every moment you have living. Ok?
Thanks for reading.
