Before It's Too Late

After watching an episode of Forensic Heroes II (a TVB HK drama) a few weeks ago, I finally realized that the human life can be so fragile.

That episode featured the death of Lam Ding-Ding (actress Linda Chung), a female character who died from injuries caused by an explosion that was meant to kill two drug-dealers. Her fiance, Sam (actor Frankie Lam), was traumatized by the news. Who could blame him? The couple was busy making last-minute preparations for their wedding, which was due in five days. They were so close to the moment of their lifetime and suddenly, everything came to a halt.

People shouldn't take things for granted because they can all disappear without warning. Unfortunately, that is a problem people have. They do not appreciate the things around them and ultimately want more or the better. If they suddenly loose everything they have right now, would they finally learn to treasure all that was lost? But wouldn't that be too late?

So before you have a chance to regret, love everything you have right now: family, friends, food, clothing, shelter, etc. Tell the people around you that you care. Call an old friend and spend some time together. Tell someone something that you've always wanted to say to them.

Do whatever that feels right...before it's too late.
