The Meaning of Life

Life...


Life is between this breath and the next. Are you aware of the breath you are taking now? Are you consciously believe that you are alive now?


Many don't. Many take for granted for this life. Some even wasting their life now.


Without knowing it, the next breath that we take will be more effortful, more difficult. Every breath we take brings us closer to death. whatever said, it is not the destination that matters. The journey through this life is the things that bring colours to our life.

I work along with death. I see him many times a day. In the morning, during ward rounds, when I am having lunch, and especially in the middle of the night when everyone is fast asleep. I particularly remembered one event, seeing Mr. Death in the resuscitation room. He brought along a boy, in his early twenties, left a lifeless body with many fractures and scars. At one glance, most probably high velocity motor vehicle accident that cause his demise. Another glance, maybe he is someone that I mentioned before, someone who wasted their life by racing illegally. Cause of death - polytrauma and spleen ruptured leading to hypovolaemic shock.

Today, 364 days to my 27 birthday. War of the the middle earth has ceased. The race to the end has already begun.
