On D Day

"Death is what  keeps people alive", I told Angie.

To commemorate on my life of 27 years,

I thought of touching on a taboo topic of life and death

Rather controversial to talk about it on one's birthday

And even more controversial to go a cemetery on that day.

Kranji War Memorial

Place where brave souls laid to rest

Sanctuary where life were honourably lived and remembered.

Most people in current society subscribed to the notion of chasing egocentric idealism

Accumulating wealth, success and progress

in a bid

to achieve happiness.

But the above sentence is not really a mathematical formula,

where Wealth + Success + Progress = Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind

And Ultimately,

A Choice

 Life and Death

The space between Life and Death seems further apart

Thanks to technological advances in medicine and also higher quality of basic human needs

At the same time,

the void of empathic emotions also widens

Take a Break

I like self reflections,

constantly reminding where I am along this life journey

and what other steps I need to take to fufill my dreams of exploration

 Tranquil

Angie asked me why death is what keeps us alive,

I explained that it is the realisation that we, one day, will leave this earth

and our existence is a mere transient one,

But its also due to this very simple fact,

that we live ourself to the fullest

making the existence a worthwhile one.

So..

What are you living for?
