A tribute

Finally finish with all the reports, takes me three days to get it all done before i went to exam hall next week to test my luck. Can barely breath nowadays, the workload is unbearable, the weather is unpredictable, the depression is snowballing, the missing is so great, everything feels not right, tragedy happened at the most unexpected time. Yesterday the brits still cheering and celebrating for London had received the honor of hosting the Olympics 2012, today the whole London was in grief and despair.

Who knows how would one handle the situation if it happens again? Would it really be different?

Reading Lyon's words always makes me think a lot, what if i was in London today, what if i was one of the victim of the dreadful incident? Life is so fragile that i might just leave this earth called as home any moment, any time, any place without leaving a trace. The ironic thing is earth would still spining, the sun still rise and set in the same pace, life still carry on. Does it really make a difference if i'm not a part of the cycle of life anymore?

Supposed that now i know life is precious, i should appreciate it and stay away from anything that might be harmful. But what if all these incident are unavoidable, something called fate. Would it makes a difference even if i have the first hand experience? In reality, sometimes learning from experience isn't really practical. There are some lesson that u can never understand, things like life and dead, love and hate, right and wrong.

May all the lost souls rest in peace tonight.

We dont know why these things like terrorism happens. Most of the time people act out irrationationally or irresponsibly because they feel that no one understands them even if their acts are horrible. Most people are just not willing to see communication as a way to solve things.

Incidents like these may or may not be avoidable because we cannot control how other people act. The only thing that we can control is our own actions that do affect others to a certain extent. That is we can choose how to act given a situation.We do what we can for ourselves and let the external factors happen.

We may not be able to understand life wholely but that is because life is a process, not a skill.
