Today went back to school for a workshop. My mentor told me that one of our colleagues was diagnosed with leukemia. I was shocked. Leukemia, cancer, kidney failure and other terminal illness seems so far away, seems like an illness that others get, but never ppl ard us. Only when it strikes, do we start to think abt that illness and how long before it will take that life away.
I remember weeks ago I still saw him, smiling and joking, ever so friendly. Now, suddenly you are telling me that he has gotten leukemia. I start thinking to myself. Life is really short man. U never know when the person next to u is gonna leave u for good.
So... why get angry easily? (I am talking to myself as I think I am getting less and less tolerant with the ppl ard me). Why be unkind? (I am talking abt unkind souls out there, who know who they are, but unlikely to be anyone reading this blog, otherwise u wont be my fren). Why scheme for your best benefit at the expense of others? (I am talking abt I duno who. Never yet seen such a person before. Mostly from TV dramas only.)
Life is damn short. U never know when u are gonna lose the person next to u. It could be an accident, it could be a terminal illness, it could be anything. Better treasure the ppl ard u for as long as u live, cos u never know how long u really will live anyway. (This, I am telling myself)
