Time to mourn, and treasure relationships
SUNDAY'S tidal waves affected many parts of the world and many lives were lost. It is time for us to pause and think.
As more lives are reported lost and those who survived experience the impact of this disaster, may we take time to mourn and extend our sympathies to those affected.
Maybe this is also a time to ponder over the meaning of life as we know it and be grateful for whatever we have.
Perhaps it is also a time to stop celebrating. This may mean taking time to feel the pain of those affected and minimise, or, if possible, avoid any celebration to usher in the New Year.
This is a time for mourning. Celebrations can come at some other time. It is also a time for giving and sharing with those who have need for clothes, food and water.
It is also a time for sharing in their grief.
Finally, it is a time for us to appreciate life and acknowledge once more that life is fragile and we can easily lose what we have, especially our relationships with people who mean something to us.
