First Monday, Two Thousand Five

Monday, January 3rd, 2005 @ 8:56 am | Life-logger

One month doesn't seem that long after all, especially since so many things have happened in that single month. 2004 ended with a tremendous rush, the events that cascaded upon us have left scars that are meant to be remembered, probably because someone up there thinks we're far too forgetful.

Yes, we are forgetful aren't we? We inflict catastrophes upon ourselves, and after that we scramble in frenzied efforts to salvage damages, but we don't seem remember the radioactive effects of mistakes we've made… then when acts of God fall upon us like what happened on Boxing Day, we are rudely shocked at the apparent massacre and hurtle towards each other in unified promises to work as one.

But how long is this to last? Haven't we ever given thought to how much we have actually destroyed ourselves? Yes, natural waves have engulfed our shores and swallowed up thousands of lives, but how many millions have been lost to our own actions done by our own hands? And as if committing massive suicide isn't enough, we have to condone our very own habitats to irreversible abuse…

If I choose not to talk about this anymore, it isn't because I want to forget, its just that I think too much has been spoken of it… but it is, as always, time to move on, armed with memories of the past that will aid us in the betterment of the future (corny, but true)…

What have I resolved to do?

Adore family. Appreciate love. Value friends. Embrace life.

Happy new year, folks.

    You are right, of course. We never seem to realize our own mistakes until it is too late. Perhaps, God in all His mysterious ways is trying to teach us how fragile a human life is. Happy new year! I love your blog, by the way ;)
