i went to a wake last nite, that explains why i blogged in church yesterday on the wireless thing.

it was a young chap. very young. i think he is just 36 or 37. a teacher.

there were a lot of his former students there.

my mind went back a week or so ago of what i saw in the papers, in the obituary page. a young girl, 10 years old...and die. it must be sad and hard for the parents.

while there praying for him, i cannot help but wander how fragile life is. at 37 and he is already resting in peace. there was a lot more in front of him. he can achieve much more in his life and with his students.

life is just so cruel. is it fair? good people dying so young. what about those wicked people....murderers....

then upon reflection, we should be thankful for everything that we already have and not lament on what we don't have.

i look at his mother and i wander too, what was in her mind. his son lying in the coffin..... so much ahead of him. its sad, but her mum was strong.

i am not sure what i am trying to say here, it is just sad and depressing to see young people die like this.

maybe what i am trying to convey here is that we should appreciate what we already have and don't keep chasing for unnecessary things in life, or get angry and hate fellow humans. so what if you have the money to buy a LV bag today? then? another LV bag? and another? there is no end to material things. life is too short and too unpredictable.

another useless thought
