Life is so short and unpredictable!
Wenny told me she went for the funeral of the guy in the newspapers the other day. He died in his sleep on his 16th birthday of some heart failure.
We think that we are so young, and that we have so many years ahead of us. We think that we are going to university, get a job, marry, have kids, retire and die old. But we are wrong. Our lives may be taken away anytime. It might be one year later, one month later, tomorrow, or maybe in the next moment.
You know how people always say that we should live everyday like it is our last?
I think instead of just knowing it we need to live it. Won't it be so sad if we died today and we spent yesterday quarelling with our parents or slacking away and rotting at home or watching youtube/TV to the wee hours of the night. We wouldn't have a chance to say sorry to our parents, we wouldn't have a chance to make full use of that last day to do all the meaningful things we wanted to do, our last memory would be of some korean/ taiwanese boyband/ popstar/ idol that we'll never get to marry anyway because we're well, dead.
And what if we died not knowing the truth? The truth about our lives, who we really are, what we're really living for, where we are going to go after this life, what is really wrong, what is right. That would be really sad.
We think, we assume that we have the rest of our lives to find out about these things. But what if, what if our life ends tomorrow?
