He was intelligent and a bright young man but nothing can be taken for granted ever since he attempted suicide only recently. He blamed his mum, exclaimed that she does not deserve to be a mother. He further on explained that he was deeply disappointed with his mum and being disappointed is much worse than being angry, which I totally agreed with him. His dad? Well, he passed away 11 years ago.
I compared his life to mine and I'm so ever grateful for my good family upbringing. My parents worked so hard for all four of us to be where we are today. They are getting old and I guess it is my filial duty to take care of them now. Every month I would give them $100 each and would at least plan a dinner or movie with them to hang out as one happy family. These are the little things we human choose to avoid, mainly love and commitment.
After my stint in the many adventure camps and army trainings, the experience gained made me believe that life should not be taken for granted. We all should enjoy what we have, even if it means that you are one level down than the rest. Why? Because happiness is a wonderful thing.
Remember, always enjoy the little things.
