What is life? Many people ponder on such a question, yet very few if any can find an answer to it.. We all may have different interpretation of it... Some say it's a routine, others say it's a new adventure that is waiting to be discovered everyday and yet there are those who just whine it's boring.. I'm still trying to grasp it, understanding it..
Last week I came to heard that a fellow Paulian had died tragically in an accident.. I do not know him, however another incident that happened to him brings back sad memories of my friends who have long gone to see the Almighty.. Who knew that a prayer at the temple, just a humble servant in the face of the Lord seeking blessings, would be the last thing he'll ever do before his day even begin.. On the way back from the temple, he was hit by an oncoming car while crossing the road early morning and died on the spot.. A boy's life just ended before he could even have a taste of what life has to offer..
As I said, it brings back bitter memories.. Nearly two years ago, a friend of mine died in a motor accident.. And a year later, another friend in a car accident.. People come into and leave this world every minute, however for a person's life to be ended shortly, unpredicted, well, sometimes it's a bitter pill to swallow.. We always say God love the deceased more and thus recalled him back to his side.. If life is such a fragile thing that could break at the slightest of vibrations, we should all be thankful that each day we're able to wake up from bed and live another day..
Thus my friends, appreciate life.. Do not whine or complain, although everyone including myself does that from time to time.. Thank God that we're given a chance to come into this world and to enjoy it's offerings.. Live life to the fullest, do not let it go to waste with some immoral activities.. There probably many people out there who couldn't enjoy life because of many reasons which will be too long to be posted here.. I leave you all with a poem I received from a friend..

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever
watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so
fast
Time is short.
The music won't
last
Do you run through each day
On the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so
fast
Time is short.
The music won't
last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
Thrown away.
Life is not a
race
Do take it slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is over.
