bcos i had quite a number of links to my friends blogs and being an avid blog reader, i make it a point to read their blogs on a regular basis, one to satisfy my curiousity but basically to see how they are doing, what they are doing etc. And after reading all of them for quite some time now, SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE and SOMEWHAT, i find all the blogs to bear an uncanny but rather obvious resemblance.
The fact that most of them do not have the urgency! I see blog after blog. Day after day. Night after night. Year after year.
It seems that to most of them, a day passes, another comes. To them, a day's just a day! With today comes tomorrow and with tomorrow comes next week, next month and next yr!
I'm not trying to say that what u're blogging is wrong or what, but i find that it's quite disturbing for me to see that people actually assume TOMORROW COMES!
WHAT IF TOMORROW DOESN'T COME? and it doesn't sometimes!! how many of the people who die actually know when they will die??!!
i find that a lot of times, i do that too. i forget that tomorrow may not come! i make plans, i procrastinate. I don't do the things i have set out to do. I leave it till tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. the bible says that we should not leave to tomorrow what we can do today and its true! it doesn't says tomorrow will come, but tells us not to worry about tomorrow. (maybe bcos it will not come?)
Is it bcos we're living on safe grounds that we've forgotten what it is like to die? what it feels like to be in pain, what it feels like to struggle for life, what it feels like to have our houses devastated by waves, what it feels like to find our loved ones dead, what it feels like to be living hell.
the Tsunami tragedgy. the biggest in Asia, and possibly in the world. surely, the past weeks of constant reports would have shocked many of you. Dead bodies, open cuts, devastation, desperation, despair, disappearance of places, of people, of destitutes, of orphans.... gone in a matter of hours, days.
What makes you think what happens to them will not happen to you?
They did not expect to die too.
It's only when you learn how to die that you learn how to live.
