Appreciate life, you will never get a second chance!

     Yesterday, a sad news was broadcasted over the TV, a girl who had a heart transplant 5 years ago died due to heart failure.

     She is no stranger to us as the news of her waiting so long for a suitable heart has been reported years ago. Although she has to rely on a battery-operated artificial heart for her survival, she has always been a happy and optimistic girl. 

     I still remember how we felt happy for her when a suitable heart finally brought new light to her life 5 years ago!

     She is a real fighter and I truly respect her will to live a normal life despite her complicated condition.

     As many of the people shed a tear or two for the passing of this brave girl, another sad (or perhaps the more appropriate word is indignant) news was broadcasted on TV on the same day. A 23-year old woman flung her new born baby girl out of the window from her home on third floor, and the worst part is, the baby was still alive while her mother (I'm not sure that's the correct term to be used as she seems too cold-blooded) tossed her out from the window!

     While her ruthless act was frowned upon by everyone, I recalled couple years ago, a young boy (most probably in his 18 or 19) announced his suicide on Facebook due to relationship failure. No one has taken his posting seriously, everyone (including his family and friends) thought he was just joking, sadly, this boy took his own life jumping off a building, not long after his posting on Facebook.

     Seeing all these news, a question kept pondering in my mind: "What does life really mean to them?"

     And what does life mean to you?

     For the brave girl who long for a life which can provide her a longer chance to experience this beautiful world, to be with her loved ones; and yet, God took away her life, and all her wishes......without any negotiations.

     For the baby girl who was flung out the window, she didn't even get a chance to see how beautiful this world is; her so called "mother" crumbed her rights to live......

     For the teenage boy who ended his own life, not only he broke the hearts of his loved ones, but his act was a real mordacity to those who merely beg for a chance to be able to breathe, for example the girl who died of heart failure......

     Life is beautiful and yet fragile at the same time, for some, life could comes with hardships, but even it is, no one has the rights to take away a life, be it the life of their own, or someone else's. 

     Everyone born into this world with a purpose, and life is meant to be celebrated, not to be ended.

     At anytime, if there is a thought of hurting yourself, or ending a life, please, and please, stop for a moment and think: " Do I really want to do this? Do I have the rights to do this?"

     Life is so precious, no one has any rights to end such a precious thing; to be able to breathe, is a blessing, please remember that!

     Most importantly, appreciate life; as once you lose it, you will NEVER get a second chance!
