Living Creatures


Dating back to few days, I watched a really touching documentary which is called "War Photographer" by James Nachtwey. A picture undeniably speaks thousand words and tends to have its own unique. Amazing. A good recommendation to all of you.

Next, a memorandum is given.

"I would like you to give a message. Please do your best to tell the world that is happening to us, the children. So that other children don't have to pass through this violence." by Child Soldiers.

Simply to say, million of boys and girls around the world especially Africa and Asia are being forced to be soldiers (average at the age of 10) and basically they are suffering in combat. They have to sacrifice their childhood, lost family ties, lack of education and live in a very bad condition with a low supply of basic needs. Also, girls are particular in a risk of sexual harassment, abuse and rape.

I just can't help with it! Sadly enough to say all these. After delving myself into a line of investigation upon child soldiers, making myself realised how lucky am I living in a comfort zone with everything is perfectly. I shouldn't have complained so much about my stressful life (which is not considered as a stressful living at all) with always loads of assignments, presentations and things like that. I should feel myself lucky, ain't it?

Sigh.

Not forgetting, recently I have always been longing to noticing how masterfully this was done in John. F. Kennedy's well-known inaugural address:

"Ask not what you country can do for you- ask what you can do for your country"

Honest speaking, I have always asked regarding of whatever things from my daddy and mummy. I have never thought of what can I do for them in the future. I'm always being selfish of thinking what my future would be like for my own sake. I have never been sparing a thought for them and so forth. Yet, I tend to complain so much things that I do not like due to some ridiculous reasons to my parents. Tones of complaints! Am I crossing over my line again, again and again?

Yes, I am! =(

I should have learned how to be satisfied with my life now and then. No complaints, dummy! Argh! Just shouldn't do all these in my life. More pleasure less guilt, ain't it?

But then guilt starts growing instantly and one more thing..

Bad habits hard to die!!

I shall go for now. Good Night.
