Can't think of a good title.

There is a 'someone' in my office whom I really feel sorry for.

He is a young man.. An active one to boot. But he lost his legs to an accident which happened during his NS days. What exactly happened.. I don't know.. But I do know that it must have hurt terribly for him emotionally and physically. He has never spoken to me. Nor has he ever smiled at me, or even glanced at me. Maybe he's just shy. Or maybe I'm just transparent. The thing is, it made me wonder.. How does it feel when you think you have it all, only to find that you lost most of it because of a misfortunate accident that could probably have been avoided?

How must he have felt? How must he have felt when he knew he couldn't use his legs anymore? How must he have felt when he realised he has to be on the wheelchair for the rest of his life? There is simply no way for him to walk again like before and this saddens me much.

Us lucky ones, who have the use of our arms and legs should put it to good use. We must love ourselves and our bodies even more! which is why I strongly feel that as long as we're able to walk and work, we should not be finding excuses not to!

There is another someone I knew of. He borrowed money from all who's willing to lend. No doubt he is 50 plus, I'm sure there must be some jobs available for him! It is just a matter of whether he wants to take it or not! God cannot help YOU, unless YOU help yourself. It's not like I look down on people who don't work. But, how is it that someone who has lost his legs, have more drive than someone who is still fully functionable? Get what I mean or not people? It's exasperating when I see people who are not old, disabled or mentally handicapped begging for money either from their relatives or outsiders! I'm even more angry at those who willingly, no.. make that stupidly lend them the money! I mean, once all of you stop lending them money, then they'll be forced to go work instead of having it easy!

Anyway, there is this toilet issue going on in my work place. I think I must have briefly mentioned it once or twice.. Anyway, there's blood stains on the toilet seat today!! Yesterday was shit on the floor.. Now this! What the hell man. Either someone has brought their dogs to work and allowed them to poo on the floor (the dog happens to be "in heat" as well) or they themselves are like the dogs. Sheesh! I cannot imagine how it is that educated people like them could behave in such an uncivilised manner!!!

I'll be leaving for Botak Jones now, so will blog about it again tomorrow.




Make Love, lots of it. Not War.
