The Great Survivors

What a co-incidence! Again today I watched the Great Debaters for the second time and I still had goosebumps. It is really a brilliant movie. You just need to fight for every right you have. But I am just so confused. Very much confused indeed. Why on earth that this issue is still very much prevalent when we have already entered the new millenium and claiming that we are a civilized lot?

Let's change the subject. Let's talk about work. I was under tremendous stress at work lately. But I am glad that my sanity finally finds its path home. There are times when we just feel like quitting. But I always believe that if we have faith in what we are doing, we will be able to achieve it. We just need a lil' patience. I always remind myself that the best getaway from stress is to think positive. The body and mind are mine. So, it's really up to me if I would want to live a better life.

I have a friend who attempted suicide twice this year. I am glad she's still alive. I am just wondering what was she thinking when she decided to swallow a tremedous amount of medications at once. Was she thinking of revenge? Was she thinking about her family? Was she thinking of her friends? Was she just thinking of solution? Or was she thinking that she has every right to take her own life away just by popping the pills? Anyways, we all deserve a second chance but we never know if we are having the third one.

Life is just so precious. Mr.Ambert was just an ordinary farmer. When I first laid my eyes on him, I was stunned. Yes, literally stunned. He was very weak and he was having melons in his mouth. He smelt melon. How I wished I could offer him a fresh packet of rice. He finally succumbed to his illness. I remember the very last words he said to me. "Yes, I am fine sir". I could see in him that he wanted so much to live. That leaves me ponder. There are so many people out there who fight everyday just to live, but why are there some who have all the means to live acted otherwise? The equation is so impossible.

To Live or Not To Live. You choose.
