Thoughts..
It's the New Year... it's 2005.. in a blink of an eye.. 2004 is over. Recently so many things happened with the recent Tsunami attack bringing 2004 to a sad end. Unfortunate, depressing, worrying, helpless, pain, emotional trauma etc... are just few words to describe those affected by the tsunami attacks. In times like this that unexpected things happened, one might start to wonder how precious lives are and how we must begin to treasure one another. The sudden depressing end of 2004 clearly indicates a sign of 2005. These days lives have become so unpredicatable; who knows what's gng to happen? Yes... people do say live life to the fullest, but one must not forget to spend more time with those u love and love you. Friends aside... family is the one that i feel everyone shld treasure the most. It has begun to dawn upon me that my parents aren't that young anymore, anything can happen (failing health? accident? robbery? murder?) who knows? The world isn't a safe place anymore. Terrorist attacks, people killing their own people, natural diasters... where is peace and harmony then? Many of us can't save the world, but we definately can try to play our small part and encourage peace and harmony amongst ouselves especially within our family. A nice dinner together and chit chatting on anything proves more powerful in encouraging family togetherness.
Would one want to start regretting only after a loved on is lost? Is it possible that everyone can learn? Though now is a good period for people to be aware of each other and care for each other, the question only remains, can such good act continue throughout once everything has calmed down? The truth is that everyone is afraid of death. This fear will never go away. However, I cannot imagine what i would become if any of my loved ones pass away and left me in this world all by myself. This very thought continues to frighten me as i see myself growing older. Though in my personal life nothing has happened yet, all is fine and well, but like i've said and i would believe many others have had said...."anything can happen"
2005 marks a new beginning, a new life, a new vision, a new objective, a new experience, a new relationship, and a new hope. I hope everyone would continue to realise how important family is to us and how they are the only ones that will forever love us. Friends are important as well, but family is priority.
Here's to a new 2005....
:)
