Cherishing Life

Life has never been smooth-sailing for anyone... There have been both ups and downs... The instances where we are happy, we forget to praise God.. But at the times where we are hit so badly, we ask God this.. WHY ME? This is the irony of life... We preach to others about being thankful but usually are laid back when it comes to thanking God. I take this opportunity to thank God for all of life's experiences... be it bitter or sweet. I hope I have lived life well to this day...




Terrorism

Being brought up in Singapore where safety is prevalent, I never understood the pure pain of Terrorism...
Reflecting the Mumbai attacks, I asked myself the purpose of such bloodshed.

What do they want? Is it for the strong beliefs of the activists? Is human life a playtool or a firing spree practice? Is there a message behind these terror attacks? Why now when the entire world is suffering from negative progress? What are they trying to prove? The tender hands that are supposed to be carrying books, are carrying arms and causing bloodshed.. Is this what they want?

Perhaps they need counselling... Perhaps they shouldn't be selfish and take innocent lives... No matter how great of an injustice has been done to them, they have no rights over human lives..

Heartfelt condolences to the mourning families...
