Yet again..
I have been visiting hospitals so frequently that I am able to walk blinfolded and still manage to find my way. I was looking at the patients sleeping and realised how valuable it is, for the patient to open their eyes from sleep. They look so angelic, the precious smile the momment they open their eyes.
I saw the totally wiped-out relatives, accidentally falling asleep in one corner, the bugging frown and the tight lips drawn despite resting. I can't help wondering what would happen if you have tried and tried and you lose the one you love most. Let's face it, we never know what will happen tomorrow. Like how the 13 year old girl got knocked down by the lorry. Did she expect that to happen? Was there a strange feeling that morning? It is yet another heart wrenching news that we read everyday.
Life among many other things, is predestined. Maybe the events in our life really help us to learn, for the better or worse, depending on individuals. The road to a better life is definitely harder to take because what is in stored is much more valuable. (Can't believe I am trying to preach about Buddha teaching while chewing the tastebuds teasing dried beef from Daddy's client!) No, I won't crap about ri4 xing2 yi4 shan4. Devoting your life to charity is admirable but I rather be a nun. I just want a normal life.
