The City That Never Sleeps

These days death has been the topic in many discussions of mine. And the number of people I’ve learnt of passing away is rising. From peter to the 5 Singaporean dragon boat team members who got swept by currents in Cambodia. With all of these revolving around me, I wonder at times why people tend to appreciate others only after they leave them. That’s the biggest irony I never understood. What’s the point of crying and wailing away and telling out loud how the person meant to you and stuff and seeking forgiveness for all the past mistakes and all… what’s the point.. the person is no more.. I can understand if it’s a sudden death or an unfortunate mishap kind of thing. But if it’s a death that was kind of expected due to health reasons or something then why all the tears. Someone once told me maturity is attained only when one is able to handle/comprehend death. But then again I may say I’m able to handle death. But actually when its hits someone close and dear to me, it might be a totally different person coz all your life you have been so used and accustomed to having the person with you, caring for all your needs and everything that suddenly without the person life seems impossible to move on. It’s a feeling of numbness of how you wish for many things… Maybe even guilt for all the times we argued, fought and made each other’s hearts bleed. And of coz taking the other for granted coz at any point of human life this is natural somehow or another. Some thoughts. But for those heroes I respect each and every one of you for Singapore will say your name out loud with pride for being part of Team Singapore. May God bless all above. Amen. |
