reason to stay alive


Last week, I had a visit to one of the old age and elderly care homes. It was something that I really wanted to do a long time ago. I was grateful to get such an opportunity. Lots of things I have learnt during my visit besides how we should appreciate and love our parents in the present and future. It was really a heartbreaking to hear some sad stories from some of them and reminded me that I’m not the only one with a sad story that people do not know. Still, we survive all the pains and obstacles in this life without giving up so easily because we do believe that there is something that drives us to stay alive. Some people do not know that their existing can change someone or other’s life. This life is not all about finding the right one, build family and watch your daughter/son grow up and hold your grandchildren. Yet, most of people that I met think that’s the only reason they’re alive. Sorry, but in my opinion it's really selfish if you think your life is all about you and yourself. For me, to stay alive is mean that my presence is useful for human being. It’s totally something worth it to stay alive even your have a very painful life. I maybe do not have superpower or a great skill of fighting to battle with bad people but I try my best everyday to help others even with a small thing. Doing right things is not easy. That’s why we need to keep trying and remind ourselves everyday. Sometimes I need others to remind me too like why I wanted to be a lecturer, why I write all positive things on my blog even I’m not sure if people read it or not, why I should finish my thesis on time or why I need to stop being lazy.  

Nota kaki:
Today is the earth hour day. Same as last year, even it’s a small thing but you really can help by switch off the light for an hour. (Sorry I can’t switch off my fans because it’s too hot in here)
