The biggest problem with humans

is that we take things for granted.

we assume that we will live forever and have an eternity to do what we wanna do.

for example,

i was typing out a few blog posts about debate and many other fragmented thoughts.

i assumed that i would have the time to post them.

now i've lost the feel and they'll never be published.

today is one day before Hari Raya.

A beautiful celebration that everyone looks forward to.

The mercun and the lemangs and the house visiting.

Today is also the day that the news of two more loss reached me.

While the world is busy being happy and excited for tomorrow,

two families mourning the deaths of a loved one while the rest of the world celebrates.

see now,

the thing is i am not advocating that we live our lives so fearful of death that we stop living.

i just needed to remind everyone (even myself)

that we are NOT immortal.

that we are NOT invincible.

that our loved ones are NOT immortal or invincible.

that we WILL die one day.

so let's stop saying that we would do that tomorrow.

let's stop contemplating whether or not to let that person know i love them.

let's stop being mean just because we are in a bad mood.

let's stop for a moment and hold our tongue, because those might be the last words that you might ever say to them.

let's stop taking things for granted.

stay safe,

and have a happy raya.
