My condolences…
Monday, July 18th, 2005My mind has not been working very well for the past few days. Have been feeling rather depressed, making lots of stupid mistakes in everything i do, and cant seem to think very straight. Still looking forward to feeling better. However, in the mist of this, a more significant event had taken place, but not a good one.
Last Saturday, a secondary school mate just passed away after a car accident and being in a coma for more than one week. Many people knew her and i guess most people already knew it by now.
Somehow, i managed to visit her at the hospital just the day before. Its really sad as shes only 22. A really beautiful girl, even though shes really the tomboyish type.
Even though i’m not close to her, it is painful to imagine how is it like when someone no longer exist, no more such a person who look, walks and talks in that certain way, with that voice, that look, and will never again do the things she used to do.
The most disturbing part is that, after her accident, her handphone and wallet was stolen by some idiot, who can be so heartless, i cannot find a word good enough to describe. I cannot imagine what kind of person is able to steal from a dying person, whose bleeding all over, painfully holding on to dear life. It was as though no one was there to report or call the ambulance, or why else would an ambulance only come 3 hours later? Without the purse, the hospital personnels weren’t able to identify her, thinking she’s some sort of immigrant, and not operating on her immediately. And what are hospitals doing? isn’t saving lives the first priority? It makes me wonder what kind of society ours has become. I think it could be more easily forgiven if ours is a poverty stricken country where people eat trash, and would fight for that last bite of bread, to have to steal from dying people. But i dont think thats the case. Just plain greediness, blinded by dollar signs.
I wish that these SOBs would start seeing blood in those every cents.
Ofcourse at the end of it, i can only pray for peace of her soul, and express my deepest condolences for her family members and others who are close to her.
