"Are we strong or fragile?"

Got a scare of my life last night when my sister brought a cat back home crying. The cat's fur seems to be shaved by someone, it was limping and it's tail appeared to be cutted off. she starting sobbing 'jie jie i think this is Brownie'. At this instant my heart just drop and my legs when numb. However i try to be compose and asked my sister no to panic and bring the black cat in.

Upon further investigation the black cat turn out to be a female cat. You see, Brownie is a male. A great sigh of relieve for me. I went looking for my fat cat and lo-and-behold, his right at my neighbour's garden. Well the stray cat seems to be in a pretty bad shape. My sister decided to call the SPCA and put it down, end her suffering.

As much as i got fright, i realise how much i adore these 2 cats of mine. I will just be extremely heart broken if anything happens to them. Nevertheless it brings a reality to light, looking at the cat's condition i must be been thru much suffering.

How fragile is life? Are we really strong as we perceive to be? We see inspiring show where people beat the odds of life and became a great hero, in contrast we see how diseases and natural disaster wipe as out in a matter of minutes. Irony of life. So what are we? People reach 30 plus start to have cancers, diabeties, high blood pressure and etc. What's happeing to our society now? Such problems use to happen on old people in the past, but now it's happenin to middle aged people. Will there ever come a time when it will happen to the teenagers?

Going to bring some friends to Iris check-up(its sort of a health checkup to show the condidtion of your health status), i really hope it will help them like it have helped me to be more aware of my health status. Prevention is always better than cure. I dont think i will like it if i hit the age 30 and people around me are falling ill. That's really not fun.

In the mean time, i can only do the best of my ability to take care of my health. Remind my family and friends to be healthy not only in terms of body but in mind and spirt too. Balance of life i guess, its the way God made earth to be.
