Living through darker days to.....

Lately I've been keeping pace with the happenings of the nation and also the world.. I've been quite ignorant since 3rd year.. One is because I'm too busy (konon2).. And then the news just seem to be stuffed with political issues which I refuse to fathom.. I'm not fond of real-life drama, you see so I better off avoiding knowing~ And this new habit or is it a 'returned' habit is all because of my up coming job interview heee (^^)v



Yup.. I guess I've been ignorant~ One of the window on my screen right now is displaying pictures of Haitian earthquake survivors... Well, I knew about the earthquake of course but just that I haven't been following it.. A few days ago I read that they turned violent while waiting for food to be distributed.. They must have been too hungry to become like that~

I was reading the story with my room window wide open and gentle breeze came sweeping over my skin.. There even the sound of singing birds and also the annoying snarls of fighting cats.. Everything was in order.. Must be far from the condition that they are in at the other side of the world.. And this makes me think..


Do we even realize these blessings and do we even enjoy such splendor of tranquility and peacefulness..?

Or are we too preoccupied with life small hurdles that we shut our eyes from seeing the bigger part of His bounties which is life itself~?


My mind will start to swirl when seeing the catastrophe of the world.. How lucky we are here~ Me.. for 23 years.. the worst disaster that I've been in is only the typhoon Greg that hit Sabah in 1996.. My hometown was not damaged.. Just lots and lots of falling trees...


My imagination runs wild and I am about to take you 'there'...


Imagine~ If one normal peaceful day, suddenly mother nature rages upon this country~ Storm.. Earthquake.. Drought.. whatever it is~ (Avelanche?? em nda ada salji di Malaysia) All that's left are rubbles of destroyed buildings... Plants taken off from their roots... The worst scene would be countless lifeless human bodies scattered all over the ground.. Yup, having to bear what the eyes have to see is only the first part of it..



Then comes the hunger.. This is when all the money in our saving lose its value.. This is when the status are no longer our concern.. Everybody have to bear the same ordeal.. This is when ego have to be put to its lowest level for mutual survival.. At this point, we won't care eating bread crumps on the ground that might've been stepped on by a diseased feet~ or maybe might've been eaten by some animals~



Then comes the plague due to poor hygiene.. Then comes the struggle to reconstruct life... And many more...


Nauzubillah~ Scary~


But it's really human nature to be blinded by convenience.. To have to lived through darker days first to notice the blessings although they are clearly visible all around us.. And this includes me myself.. The things that really matters are often shrouded by less important things~


I don't want to comment on what we should do but here is an interesting quote that I found somewhere in the internet for us to ponder~

If you’re not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. If you're doing something with your life, then it doesn't matter how short your life may be. A life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you're living a life that counts! -John C. Maxwell-



For a start~ I'll order 'nasi separuh' from now on to avoid from wastage sebab makan selalu nda habis!!!!
