Fraility of Life

There were 2 waves of earthquake in Sumatra. The tremors was felt even until Singapore and Malaysia. 70 lives were lost so far and still counting but not forgotten by their loved ones. Even though we know them not, let us pray for them who have departed. At times like this that we actually think about the fragility of our lives. We chase after the materialistic things in the world but have we come to realize what is more important in life???

To me, living a good life is better than any materialistic things that you can get out there. The most precious thing is the Love that we all share and give without asking anything in return. Is it possible to actually love people who you do not know, some would ask.. This is my answer to you. It is possible. actually, nothing is impossible in this world. If you have God, nothing is. You know deep in your heart there is faith. With faith, anything is possible. You don't have to know a person for you to sympathize with them. You don't need to touch a rose to know it is a rose.

All the people in this world are brothers and sisters, whether we like it or not. We all look the same. One nose, 2 eyes,one mouth and a pair of ears. Not forgetting also arms and legs. We were not given those to use them simply. We were given that to serve one another, not only God but also those who needs us. Don't tell me no one needs you or you don't need somebody in your life. You will need one also eventually because we are normal human beings with normal body functions and also feelings. We have emotions that allow us to feel pain and anguish, love and joy and the many emotions that we possess as humans. Let's serve one another as long as we can. Not by money, but by caring. The first step of loving someone, is by caring for the person.

My dear fellow readers, I hope you all would pray for those people who you do not know. The people in Indonesia, the place where so many lives were lost not only through earthquakes and Tsunami but also of the airplane crash and the capsized boat. Pray that their souls may rest in peace without having to care anymore about what is going on in this world. Free of their worldly suffering to enjoy the life together with God in His arms. They have gone to their rest, May God Grant them repose in Him. Amen
