避风港

A few weeks back sunday times' life section featured something special. From Shin Na's blog, I quote
"I'm sad about the pain my illness and death have caused my friends and family. Losing people you care about and the thought of never, ever seeing them again, or hugging them again, or hearing them laugh again is heartbreaking. Trust me, I know. You are only losing ONE of me. I'm losing ALL of you. But here's something even more sad - what if we had never met, never gotten to know each other, never laughed together or cried together or learnt from each other? Sure, we'd have saved some heartache, but we'd have lost a great deal more than that."

And from another lady in the same article
"When we are healthy, many of us sleepwalk through life like the living dead. You can see us in the MRT, on the way to work. Unsmiling. With vacant stares. Just like zombies. From where I am now, that seems like such a waste."

It's about loving our own lives, cherishing the present and looking forward to our futures. It's about looking out for the people you care about, providing a 避风港 for each other.
