Life is a precious gift from God that’s why we must make the most of it all the time and live each day as if it were our last. However, natural calamities and other catastrophic events, can easily take away god’s gift of life to mankind.
Just recently, the rest of the world witnessed a frightening earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 followed by a deadly 23 foot tsunami hit Tokyo Japan on the 11th of March. It was a tragic incident which caused many people’s world to come crumbling down and left many dreams shattered, families broken, and taken innocent lives of many. Video footage showed giant waves sweeping away cars, homes, people, and buildings, leaving a path of death and desolation. Sadly, we will never really know what the future holds for all of us and a single life may perish in just a blink of an eye.
It’s horrible, isn’t it? May we take time to ponder on these things. May we always let the people we care about how much we love them for we may never have the chance or opportunity to tell them anymore. Let’s show them how important they are in our own simple ways. Let us learn to let go of our pride, reconcile with ourselves, and with the people whom we have come in conflict with in the past. Let us keep in mind that life is too short to spend it hating others and making them miserable.
