Climate changes, many countries are coping with the division of gaps between the rich and poor widen and some other pressing issues happening round the world. Some countries have to deal with both their poverty and famine issues and these countries are normally developing countries. It's sad to see people starving in the developing countries while one could see obesity in developed countries. It's kinda ironic and a huge contrast.
Watched a flick from youtube and tears rolled from my eyes to see 2 children were moving their bodies (not their feets) in circles. They were laying on their stomachs coz they had polio and couldnt stand upright due to malnutrition. They had no income for food and were abandon by their parents. They had an elder sister who was only 8 to perform parental duties. She had to walk miles everyday to fetch water to bathe her younger siblings. If there's food, she will offer it to her younger siblings first. It's sad to see others suffer. Sometimes, I really wonder what is that flow of money and why this doesnt reach the grassroots despite of the campaigns of a certain cause are happening round the world. It's simply maddening.
Another thought came after I went to a funeral wake for a couple of days. The decreased was relatively older than by two decades. She lost her battle through lung cancer. It makes me realised the fragility of life and everything that we have at this moment is transient . The only thing that is constant is change. Yet people doesnt not realise that our lives in this lifetime is very short coz we always have imagined that we will be immortal and invincible. But nobody knows what will happen in the future. Let alone our very next moment.
Right now, what I can do is treasure and appreciate what I have. At the same time, do my small part to make my existence in this lifetime useful.
