I'm sorry I'm still not over the London tragedy. There was this guy who's girlfriend had died in the bus bombings. He recalled that his gf was supposed to wake up at 8 am but decided to wake up later. He said, If only she'd woken up sooner, maybe she'd still be alive right now.
If only. Yes. Everyone has had their share of "if onlys". If only I did this and that, then things would've been this and that. If only I said yes... If only I said goodbye... If only I didn't tell her to leave the next day... If only I passed... If only I did my best...
It only goes to show the uncertainty of life. That life cannot be planned methodically. It is beyond the comprehension of humans to actually predict what would happen next. True, a little planning never hurt anyone, but it has made me realize more the value of everyday life. No one knows what's gonna happen next or when they're going to die (except when you're on the death row and you'll only know of the fact that you're going to die on that same day that you're going to be executed: "Crim"?), so what's the point of worrying about tomorrow?
We might as well live every single day as if it's our last day on earth. Of course, even if I say these things, I know it would actually be extremely difficult to put into execution. You just can't help but worry about what's there to come, it comes naturally. The least we could do is to stop thinking about the "if onlys" of our lives. It has come to pass. There in no more else to be done. We shouldn't dwell on what we cannot change. If we are given another chance at it then do what you must. Otherwise, what we should do is learn from our mistakes. If not learn, at least try to. Try to do so with all your heart and soul. Then, you'd know that you tried, no, that you did your DAMN best.
