Just a thought that's been occupying my mind lately..
Why is departure from this life so intensely prominent especially to figures that have made such an impact to our lives? I know everyone must be bored of their minds listening to people who second my flow of thoughts, but here's my two cents.
What's been happening in Malaysia recently baffles me. Where is the ultimate justice that we seek within a community that has lived in a monogomous, dictative society. For once the 'elite state' of Malaysia falls into the hands of a desired opposition party, then comes a wasteful death over something so petty like an unjustified fund misuse of only 2,500myr. when the government as a whole since independence have been swindling millions and millions of ringgits in the span of a few decades? poor teoh beng hock, i really hope his family and fiancee finds peace in the midst of disbelief and sheer misery that has landed upon them. i'm sure living a life in that state can be a bit too much for all of them, and i hope they heal well. and as for him, well, hope he r.i.p. :(
and then there's yasmin ahmad. she was stating her sadness, shock, and disbelief over his death on her blog, and after a few days *poof* she dropped like a swatted fly. her blog will never be updated anymore.
what saddens me is the timeline her stroke took to kill her. i work alot with researchers in our stroke rehab ward and the people heal, they heal for the better. they suffer a massive stroke and after a few years, they carry on normally with their lives, and pose a role model to their communities. and that makes me wonder, again. yasmin ahmad was a somebody, the people i work with are just common people, unknown, like me. how fragile our lives are. our lives are bound like the strength of a tiny twig. i could fall dead right now typing this blog from a cerebral edema, or a cardiac arrest from overconsumption of saturated fats, etc etc etc. why are we so superior in the biological living chain and still our tendencies to die are similiar to a dog which might be run over by a car any minute now. i hope we will all know someday. it's a deep-rooted subject and this is one thing people will have the most diverse of perspectives - when it comes to life and death.
