every day...
So why the difference in hype between the death of Paul Walker and those people who died in the Typhoon Hainan in Phillipines?
This thought came to me when my husband commented that it's interesting how people mourn over this one person who died in a car crash vs many who died in the disaster.
Probably the more popular you are, the more people know you and is more attached to you. So the death of one actually matters more to the people alive. Even though they may know you through a screen, they've got some personal memories attached to you.
So now I wonder, what happens if I die... And what I hope to see when I die...
- My husband and parent will receive my insurance money. And they'll use the money for education of my siblings, better life for my mum, let my husband buy more Nerf guns or things that he likes so that he can forget his misery faster, and donate them to help children with special needs.
- My husband and family members will be very upset because they'll miss my nagging and my presence. And they'll get themselves back together again. My sis and bro will be more mature and able to carry some responsibilities of the family so my mum can be less burdened. My mum can travel with her friends, and see the world more. My mum enjoys the company of my siblings. My husband will cry for me and feel the absence of me. But he'll find another woman who loves him and he'll still remember me but, he'll loves this new woman too and have a happy family.
- Rebels will feel that life is so short and they'll wish they have more time for me, or I have more time for them. Every time when they look at our old photos, they'll miss me and tear. But time will wash away things. And they'll begin to realise the amazing pace of life and it's fragility. Life is more than just chasing your dreams and earning a living and living the sorrows. But there's a God that makes all things worthwhile and purposeful. And they'll begin to believe in God and I'll watch them from above and watch how their lives orchestrate. And one by one, God will touch their lives, heal their past hurts (& hurts that they don't even know they have), breakthrough any past belief system that had, and experience the overwhelming love of God!
- My other very close friends will feel the pains of losing me. But realise that they can still move on and they'll treasure the people around them even more. And hopefully, this importance of cherishing people around them will stay longer and they'll extend their love to other people too.
- Myself, I will sit with God. Enjoy the moment in His arms and smile because I know I'll be there forever... The earth will no longer be my home. And I have a new home. But I guess I'll miss my family and husband VERY MUCH, and my friends (rebels, Serene, c girls, etc) too. *i want to cry now*
But I'll be in safe hands and I'll be watching over every one of you...
