It's not quite the same when you read about it in the papers, hear about it in the radio or even look at it in the telly. My friend's wife was murdered. Cold blooded, vicious 16 wounds on her body. I saw it from the newspaper. And I don't know how to comfort him.
I know it's just ONE murder. And thousands are being killed in more horrible ways around the world every day. But like I said, as long as we don't know those people, it tends to hurt us less. And we still go about our happy daily routines, unaffected. Children die in hunger, so what? Himalayan tigers will be extinct soon, so what? Bali gets bombed again, oh, better tell the friend to not go there for honeymoon.
Sometimes I get very, very fired up for a cause. Then eventually it fizzles and dies out. Life like normal resumes. Until I read about an incident or saw in Discovery another issue that nags at me again. Then I'll talk to friends and people I think will care. Sometimes, the chain reaction is positive and we do a little that make us feel happier and less guilty. Sometimes, I hit a wall and slowly I lose interest.
Why am I like this? Why are we like this?

If death itself is a sad thing, then it's most cruel that we are born because eventually we will die.
Why try to avoid death? It's a part of our life.
Just be happy while we are still living.
Dont grieve for too long.
