The news had just reported on yet another gun shooting incident in Africa causing an eight-year-old child to have lost his clarity in speech, to have to breathe without a nose, and unability to lead a normal life where every child deserved to.

What did the history teach us human nation? Haven't we realise what life is all about? I told myself not to make comparison from one to another because every life is unique and everyone has their own destiny.

But all that have come to my six senses (touch, see, smell, taste, listen and FEEL) are telling me, I am so lucky... for I do not fight for food, I do not steal to feed, I do not hide for safety, and most importantly, I do not struggle to live.

What makes me wonder right now, when someone on the earth is actually fighting for food, stealing to feed, hiding for safety and struggling to live... I see many who are fighting NOT TO EAT (finishing own portion of food served) for wanting a fabulous shape, stealing NOT TO FEED but to satisfy the wilderness within self, hiding NOT FOR SAFETY but to avoid responsibility and reality, and most importantly, struggling NOT TO LIVE but to being above everyone else by hurting or killing.

How often do we appreciate PEACE or should I say AMANI?

At certain time, I may recall some incidents reported in media and start questioning "what if it happens to me?" Will I actually be as strong as I think I would? As calm as I think I could?

Nevertheless, several people from the hall of fame has succeeded into delivering important message to the human nation. One of the must be the late Michael Jackson. Regardless what people may be thinking of about him, one thing I can be sure of, he showed the world how important it is to start proctecting our mother nature... our future generations' future. Anyone get to recall the 'Earth Song'? Or the MTV shown? No? How about 'Heal the World'?

Next would be the late Wong Ka Kui, a member of a famous band named Beyond. Apparently, I learnt the word AMANI from one of the songs.

Like it or not, each and everyone of us are definitely connected in one way or more. When one is hurt in any way, it will definitely be felt by another in some other way.

At this moment, you may feel great for taking a revenge on a person you hated. But do you realise that you may be the person who feel sorry in return? I happen to learn about this, HATE's best friend will always be GRIEVE.

Some may say it hard, and some may even say it impossible, but why don't we try? There's no harm trying... after all, there's something hidden in the word impossible... if we want to... we could have read it as I'M POSSIBLE.
