can't think of any title for this post. =)
i came across reading something quite deep recently..it was said that "the saddest thing about life is that you can only live it once, but the happiest thing about it is that you don't have to go through it again". agreeable? i find it pretty true though. but well, it will all come back to how does a person define life and how does a person describe life.
i was so free that i went and search for how do people actually define life. and i realised that life can be defined in different categories - Survival and Temporal Success, Wisdom and Knowledge, Ethical, Religious and Spiritual, Philosophical, etc. a word can actually mean so much, can be defined so differently from different perspectives of thinking.
in life, some people tend to just care about something that concern themselves. they care less for others. just to be fair, i myself do that too. it's inevitable. i can't help it. it's something that will make people say "i'll change my habit. " or "i'll not be so selfish anymore. " or "i'll not [something something] " . but it's so rare for it to really happen. the existance of a person who has not even 1% of selfishness in him/her is almost impossible.
oh anyway, the form 3 and form 5 non-Muslim students in our school were given some sort of motivational talk on thursday, as the Muslim students were having something on as well. if i didnt remember wrongly, the speaker's name is Mr. Leong. read more about what he said in pei wen's blog. what i wanted to say was, he actually dug out a few affective incidents where the mother protected her child. and one of the few that he mentioned was something that happened during the Sichuan Earthquake last year on the 12th of May. when i was told about it last year, what i felt was indescribeable. i was thinking, if i were to be that mother, i wouldnt have the courage to do so.
this was what happened to the mother and her child : when the building/house started collapsing, the mother had no where to escape from her place. she was carrying her 5 months old baby with her at that moment. so when she was left with not many choices, she finally decided to protect her child from the collapsing materials. so she placed her child below her body, laid face-down, used her body to protect her child from those things and she eventually died. when they were found, the rescue team found her mobile phone, and this was seen on the screen "baby, if you are still alive, always remember that mummy loves you. " that sentence and her courage to save her baby actually impacted a part of other people's life.
okay i got a little carried away by this story. i dont know what was the purpose of me typing this lengthy blog post, but i just felt like it's something that i can share with people out there. all i can say is appreciate your life while you're capable of doing so. =)
