MH370: Our Mortality

In recent weeks, whenever I find myself thinking of something to write, thinking of commenting on some socio-politico issue, I stop myself. I'd ask "Is this appropriate at this point in time?" "Is it worth commenting on this now?"

Perhaps I'm having an existential crisis of sorts. It happens.

Making sense of everything that has been happening isn't easy. But we try.

So here's what's making sense to me at the moment: We are all mortals. And one day we will leave this Earth. We will cease to exist. There is such fragility, uncertainty. Yet we are given the opportunity to be excited and make the most of it.

Deaths happen daily. But it is the magnitude, suddenness of loss, and the feeling of being out of control that has caught on to our conscience.

Perhaps, this was just that reminder we needed.

God Bless everyone.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families & friends of the crew & passengers of MH370..

We continue to sit here and hope,
For good news to come around,
But even if it is too far a slope,
Your story has kept us bound..

For we are united in our thoughts and prayers for you,
And we hope that our prayers will come true,
For your safety and your lives are important above all others,
And for this moment all of you are our spiritual brothers (and sisters)...

3 Reasons: Why Anwar's Freedom Is More Important to BN Now Than His Guilt

       Anwar's freedom would have been more politically advantageous to Barisan Nasional. Imprisoning him would do BN no favours, and instead put them into an unwanted minefield. Perhaps the Court of Appeal is independent. Perhaps BN actually wanted Anwar to remain a free man. Perhaps my reasons below are sensible. Read on.
