"live earnestly"
Every year, there are millions of people leaving this world. Still, there are more babies born compared to people dying. When I see it this way, it is only figures but to those people who have their significant person passed away, it affects them. A classmate of I had just returned to class recently after spending some time in his country as his father had passed away. A few days ago, I received news that a friend of a colleague had passed away.
I could never imagine how they would feel in their position when something like this happens. I still remember in a movie that I watched, an actor responded by saying something that means like this, "When someone leaves the world, I would like to think it as if they have flew to a faraway place, another country." To think that the deceased ones are those who you just seldom contact, thus you don't hear their voices and feel their presence. I wonder if this is alright, but I would like to treat it this way.
Story like "1 litre of tears" isn't uncommon. We have seen stories about cancers and other diseases, which lead to death in the end. Some people who have witness these things will no doubt be emotional at times.
I have watched movies like these, and they had moved me too. For a moment there, it gave me determination to live a better life. But soon after, such determination will fade away.
I didn't wanna expect anything when I was gonna start watching "1 litre of tears" as I knew I will eventually felt like how it was before... '3 minutes of determination'. I finished it within 24 hours, although initially I planned to watch it slowly. Based on a true story, it tells about a girl named Aya who had an incurable disease. In the whole story, I witnessed how she coped in life carrying a disease which disabled her greatly.
Hahaz... I don't think I'll wanna embrace the premature determination that it can give, but I wanted some insights. I don't think I should be asking why people sometimes wanted to make their lives or other people's life difficult. What thought drives in their mind, only they can express to people they talk to. For Aya, it is simple for what she wanted, but it was difficult for her.
Having a place to stay, a bed to sleep, food to eat to fill stomach, a family that can spend time with, and friends to play with, to talk to...
What wanted to be done, try with all might. Whether they are achievable or not, there is no complaining. And thankful when people are willing to help.
Requirements like these are quite basic, but it still takes effort to achieve. Not impossible, who knows one day someone will tell you how it's achievable? ^^

Think Autism. Think Cure.
"Are you autistic?"
"Nope."
"Why do you wear this?"
"I bought this, and it's part of a donation too."
"My son is autistic."
There was once a time I was called an autistic boy. That remark made me angry deep inside back then. To be labeled as a boy with a disease.
What is autism actually?
Up until now, I have never really read much to understand well about autism. I only have a slight idea of what it is thru an article about a creative boy who was autistic.
He decribed the behavior of his child. The boy was hyper, likes to move around a lot. What makes this boy different is he couldn't response to the person who calls him.
He's 7 years old now currently. The theraphy has helped they boy improved, but he could only response to his father and experienced doctors.
"You gotta be firm to him. There is no use in scolding. Make sure to the kid that he will get 'this' if he does 'this'. You can't be lenient to this kid. His mother was one. She has a soft heart and sympathized easily."
"How is he now?"
"Well, compared to other kids, he's slow."
Felt the urge to hand the wrist band to his son, but didn't.
Collecting items that are rare, even precious was always a proud thing. But I'm now more of a believer of sharing or giving are caring.
I have passed my other wrist band to the one it was meant to.
Should I give mine to him now? I have wore it for long, and I want the boy to have the determination to live in a better way.
Add colours to your life!!
