Only when a person no longer exists on earth will his presence and worth be of significance to others. Prof S Rajaratnam did so much for Singapore as well as for ASEAN as an entity. And his significance can definitely be felt as numerous talks and speeches start to be revealed on screen. It made me feel how fleeting life can be. It seems like only yesterday when he looked so young and healthy. 10 years may not be a very long time after all. Well. I have already lived for 22 years on planet earth and that is like a quarter of my life span. Already gone! Fwah. And i can't even dictate what i have really achieved other than getting a paper scroll which lands me in a job. It is only now that i witness life and the fleeting death that comes with life. It is only now that i realize how fast life really is on earth. Death comes like a lightning bolt. Swift and undetecting. No one really knows when it will come to you. It just comes! And that is the scary bit. However, if i can and only if i can think positively, death is only the beginning of eternal life. With God. So it really isn't that scary if you think about it. It is where true existance lies. Life is only an intermittent stage before we see our saviour and that kinda gives me a peace of mind. I have been thinking about lotsa stuff through my conscious years and til today only God gives me the peace of mind that i yearn for. Why can't everyone see his glory and why does everyone feel so strongly towards his omnipotence. It only serves to reinstate his kingdom. Which is truly present in a heavenly place away from the physical world which everyone can relate to regardless of their inclinations. If we can agree on one thing and that there is a God, then why do we even have to disagree at all? It is such an irony ya.
