“I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas and illusions that give them a reason for living. I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.”
Albert Camus
The time after CTs seems so luxurious, like it goes on forever and at no cost, abled to be spent freely! I found so much joy and happiness in that. A bit of time to do what I want / feel like doing but I can't slacken my pace in June. Disaster will ensue. Especially Math. *Makes a face*
But, meanwhile! The weather has never seemed better and the air smells so sweet, though being in this beautiful situation we have to remind ourselves of the twin disasters that struck Asia. Day after day the newspapers show the disasters frozen in time -- The pain, the hard work, the remains the earthquake or cyclone has left in their wake.
Just today this man had to stay alive by eating cigarettes and drinking his pee by using his shoe as a cup. I read that after lunch and felt so queasy, but that man had such a strong will to live. Ahhh, living in such comfort we aren't even able to put ourselves in their shoes, though we're all living in the same continent.
I thought that the Japan rescue team really looked like the elite of their force.
Well, I hope that more survivors can be rescued and that the pain from the loss of the loved ones can be allievated, somehow.
Grandpa's warded last night after taken to this specialist due to some difficulty in breathing but he's alright now. Was worried, have not mastered enough Hokkien to communicate freely since he can only understand Mandarin but not speak it. Visiting him today/tomorrow.
Now I have to plan out what I intend to do over the holidays.
