Morning after dark.
Choosing death before it falls upon you is plain stupidity. I used to mock at men who chose to commit suicide over matters I have no idea of. Only people who are mentally weak succumbs to the temptation of suicide to end problems. Only people who are useless decides to jump into the railway track and welcomes the arriving train. I used to say.
Today, I read about the death of a man at Queenstown station. Following his news were ridicules on how his death caused inconvenience to other commuters as the train was delayed. Seriously, what has our society become? Has the virtue of empathy been burnt by wild fires? Since we did not participate in his life, we are in no position to comment his decision. Period.
Not everyone is born with a silver spoon. Not everyone wakes up to a table of delicately prepared English breakfast. Not everyone walks on two legs and carries with two arms. Not everyone has someone to talk to when he is lonely. Not everyone goes for a good weekend family meal. Not everyone has a room of his own. Not everyone even has a bed of his own. For whatever issues that pushed him off sanity, the story would have been different if he has had a friend to talk to.
This selfish narrowminded society.
I despise you.
