Something that is even more fragile than glass

I learned a valuable lesson of life 2 days before. The incident that took away 3 lives has left a great impact, in me, as well as other Utarians. We always read news about fatal accidents, but we never been so close to it and we never understood the vulnerability of life. We were so young, we dreamed, we played, we worked hard, for our future, but..

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward.

quoted from Rocky Balboa the Italian Stallion



Only when you feel pain, you understand pain.

Life is fragile, and it's even more vulnerable than glass.

We, human are nothing great at all. The forces of nature is far beyond our knowledge and prediction. Everyday, people live, and people die. People born as a nobody, people die as a somebody. When we die, we leave pain to our family, lover, and friends.

Sometime, I wonder. It's the pain, the pain of losing an important person in life. Or the pain, it's because death remind us of our mortality.

Some people live to die and some people die to live.
But, what is the truth about life?

When we die, we leave nothing but pain and memory, nothing else. And nothing else is significant anymore.
