if we are distressed, it is for your comfort & salvation

my condolences to a dear friend ... *hugs*

has anyone thought why we are born to fight many losing battles in life? so what if one succeeds in education, work and even play, when we are so minute as compared to the natural forces of life... ageing, dying, disasters, epidemics to name a few.

more often than so, we are all guilty of being self-centered... aint we? we lament about our own issues, problems that we define as challenging and tying us down. but aint all these that we are facing so micro? maybe we should all learn to have a macroscopic view towards life... and maybe we sld all put down our self-imposed burdens for a while... to take a step back and face up to the harsh realities of life. it wld prob help us to better appreciate this world and our cherished ones.
