i copy this off someone's blog. how true..
There was this gal named Sylvia from a family of high social status & with siblings all lawyers or doctors. Failure was nowhere acceptable in the family.
This was the results day for the college exams. Having scored short of an distinction caused her a place in the prestigious medical school abroad. The ultimatum from her parents was within sight. Feeling empty & self-worthless deep within her, suicidal thoughts took over Sylvia's mind. The fingers failed to press the 8th storey to her house, instead she was taken a storey up to the roof. Alighted, walked to the edge of roof above her house. "Never will I fail again, Never."
Sylvia took a step forward, and ...... down.
As she headed down past her house, she looked inside the windows and saw her parents happily waiting for her to report back with good news.
On the 7th storey, she looked inside, a newly-wed couple were having a cold-war just after 7 days of marriage.
On the 6th storey, she looked inside, an old granny was looking at her demised spouse of 60 yrs, with tears down her wrinkled cheeks.
On the 5th storey, she looked inside, a drunk man was smiling to himself as he gazed at the tv screen of his shares misadventure.
On the 4th storey, she looked inside, a woman was threatening divorce as she found her husband with a mistress on the bed.
On the 3rd storey, a man was sobbing quietly by himself while thinking of his wife who perished in an airplane disaster last week.
On the 2nd storey, a lady in her 20's was weeping in disbelief after being diagnosed with cancer in the 2nd stage.
Having seen all that, she suddenly realised that her life was not that bad as compared to others.
When Sylvia landed on the 1st storey and back on solid ground, the neighbours whom she saw moments ago came surrounding her and pitying her sorry state at such a young age. "At least our lives are still better than hers."
Often we are too engrossed with the many intricate things in our own life, we fail to appreciate our very own existence as a living person in a community. Take a break now and rethink of ur purpose in life. Treasure your life and treasure others too.
