Happy mother's day!
May 11, 2008, another mother's day. Some call it commercial, others take it as a day to celebrate with their mums or spend quality time with her. Though it may sound very nice, as in Mother's Day, taking the time off to be with someone you hold so very dear, but something that has always occured to me, or to many of us, that Mother's Day is just an excuse, in fact every day is Mother's Day if we do something special for Mum, a little every day. But truth is we don't.
Prior to Mother's Day, every morning before i set out for work, i'll hear tis program on radio called Tokyo Tower. Originated from Japan (duh), this short segment on radio is actually a serial that depicts how a mother does stuff for her son out of pure love, like all mothers do, but the son does not appreciate it and finds his mum troublesome. Though, for one, the son wanted to bring his mum to Tokyo Tower to see the scenery. Eventually, the mother passed away, the son was full of regret, what he brought up to the Tokyo Towers wasn't his mum, but his mum's picture. Sad ending. Lots of tears.
So how? What could have been? Is it even relevant if one finally finds the answer after your loved ones pass away and nothing can bring them back? Truth be told, no one wants to live a life of regret. I don't. I accept that things happen for a reason. It's true that if someone whom i care for walks out of my life, i will undoubtedly be very sad, eventually ngei ngei still pulling myself together and getting on with life, albeit with a slightly heavier heart.
If i had a choice now, i would choose to make a positive difference in others lives. No one knows what is going to happen in the future. I am a pragmatist, and i am fearful too. But despite of my uncertainties, i will take that step forward, because if i don't, i know i will regret, and i certainly don't want to.
Life's not meant to be stressful or pressurizing. And i don't want to stress myself or people around me. 平常心 ba, and one'll be happy. I don't want to hide from my fears, i welcome it, because ultimtately fear is indeed an important part of our family of emotions. Ok time to go out, a wonderful day with Mum awaits. Peace out =)
