Life and Death

After a struggling with myself and the God, at last, I come out from the down period. Now, everything is becoming much better, as well as my status. I celebrated this change with some ice cream and some beautiful music. I always want to praise the God from my heart when I see a appealing scenery including the blue sky, the white floating clouds, the lovely birds... ... Life is beautiful, isn't it?

However, there are so many people ignore the loveliness of the world, and in their hearts, the agony dominates their lives. From their points of views, the world is black and white instead of a colorful one. Extremely, some of them choose suicide as the end of their lives.

Last night, I got to know that a PG student from mainland committed suicide, falling down from the Jockey Club Building. I was really shocked when I heard this piece of news. He is a PhD student who will graduate very soon. Why he chose this way to end his precious life? This incident recalls me many similar cases in the world.

Are they cowards or warriors to the fate? From one side, they refuse to be alive any more, and they dare not face the difficulties encountered in their lives, thus they are cowards; on the other hand, they feel meaningless to continue their lives, and they fight with the society and the fate in this way, while someone even praise them to be warriors. However, the standard of life and death should not be set by human-beings, because we are created by the God and we should follow the principle from the God. Everyone's existance is not an accident or coincidence, it may not be designed by his/her parents, but God designs everything. Everyone has his own talents and he has the responsibility to do contribution to the society. Life is a kind of responsibility instead of a game. The participant is not a player to end the game anytime he wants, oppositely, he has to consider the life as an important task and he needs to make full use of his talents given by the God, overcome any problems he encountered, fight with the strong storms as a navigator and at last show his works to the God.

I prayed for this boy last night after I got the e-mail, but he died eventually. I hope there won't be any tragedies like this and I hope the gospel can help as many people as possible. God, please let them know the mission, their responsibilities and the love from you. In Jesus name, I pray.
