Why Oh Why?

It was about six o'clock in the evening when the sound of sirens have started to blow so hard and I was at home preparing for dinner. I immediately thought about the guy who was in the crane trying to commit suicide for the past 24 hours. It has caused a lot of traffic, policemen, paramedics,  curious onlookers were there feeling powerless and just waiting for whatever happens next. All having the same question in mind...."will he dare it?"

Apparently this guy, some people say, he was heart broken. And others say, he comes from France, about 30 years old and just been here for the past 8 months. No job and depressive. This is indeed sad.

The authorities tried to persuade him to go down and talk but he refused. Although he demanded a plane ticket so he could go back home but  was denied. Was that true? Whatever happened, the final move was such a dramatic and tragic. He jumped from the crane, died and was left to pieces.

One of my friends who lives just in front of the place where it actually happened said that some curious onlookers were shouting at him....."jump! jump! jump. We want action!" How crazy and insane. I am sure, this has surely drove him to commit such irreparable tragedy! How people can be so cruel! No heart and feeling at all. I think about his loved ones back in France. It must not be easy for them.

I think of this poor guy who decided to end his life by killing himself in such a dramatic way trying to attract everybody's attention. How sad indeed. Life is so precious to be simply wasted. But we are not in this man's shoes. We are not to judge but somehow, this could be a wake up call and makes us realize that no matter what, we should not delve in such easy way to end the problem like what this guy did. It's scary!

I value life. I just can't find myself simply putting end of it because something has turned up wrong. There is always a way to get over with our challenges no matter how big or small they could be. Life is sacred.  it is sacred gift. Everyday, when I get up, I feel so thankful for having another additional day in my life. Each day is precious and there are so many things to do. Life is short and take advantage of it to enjoy and be useful to others.
