to continue from my last post, life is so fragile. so what made me say that? or should i change to 'living is so unpredictable'

life throws us many challenges. relationships, work, family. as long as we are living on earth, we have to relate to people. whether spouse, boyfriend, family members, colleagues, friends.

our happiness or sadness comes from our relationships with others and ourselves.

then just now, i read that a german tycoon committed suicide. and what a way to die, he was hit by the train. life is so fragile. how can people treat life like that?

so it boils down to another question. is money so important in life? you can have all the money in the world, but that does not make you invincible to failures? the more successful you are, the harder the fall.

so is relationship important? well, certain kind of relationships gives us a lot of stress. but there are certain relationships that need to be cultivated, maintained. so how do we cultivate them? compromise is important in a relationship. continuous understanding of each other is important as well.

last night, mabel cried again before sleeping. on probing, she said, 'i miss mummy.' then it hits me if i've neglected her. so allowed her to sleep in the room and i promise to look into my relationship with her.

well...you are right to say that the richer you are then the harder is the fall too.

that poor super rich old man stepped onto the railway track to kill himself....yes! it is sad. last year he is worth 9 billion euros but now he has to borrow 700 million euro to tide his companies over. talk about a change in fortune....this is it!

then the french guy....remember? he has to kill himself too after losing his family fortune of 1.3 billions to Maddof who is still out of bail....a free man who cheat 50 billions of clients' money.
talk of different law for the rich or the poor. the rich can get off with bloody murder....while the poor will be punished for even shoplifting a banana.

at least...your job is safe and that alone is a great thing for the family.

remember you are shouldering the whole weight of your family.
