life is hard, die is easier? think 100000000000000000 times before you say that.

one day i logged in to facebook
i was surprised when i saw the news feed at that time.
quite a number of people wrote similar status on their fb account

the status was like:

LIFE IS HARD, DIE IS EASIER

at that point i was like, "hmm maybe it's kinda right?" but i somehow felt quite disagree about that, somehow
but i did not really bother what made me disagree bout that sentence

until the next couple of days after i logged in, the very morning after i woke up
my dad asked me to accompany him to go to our cousin's funeral quite nearby our home
so i took a shower and got prepare and went with him to the funeral
well it was not really a funeral, it was a cremation actually

i surprised myself with that moment
because i usually quite reluctant about going to a funeral, unless it's a really close relative's funeral
because i usually get anxious everytime i step to a funeral or mortuary
my dad knows that better than i do usually
but yea i surprised myself at that time when i agreed to accompany him

so we arrived super early at the cremation site
HAHAHAHHAHAHA
the group came approx. 30 later after our arrival
so my father and i, whom arrived very early, took a seat and had chit chat about the dead person, his life etc.

well fyi this cremation site is very popular because of its architecture
it's pretty and does not have a creepy feeling like normal funeral home/cremation site
it's clean, pretty, calm, comfortable, and absolutely modern
hahahahahahhaha
so i was enjoying my time there

so while my dad and i walked around the cremation building, i saw a brochure, it was about the place
which is called, OASIS
i flipped the brochure and read through
curious about what's the place vision and mission, and hopefully could find some infos about the place
and i did
there was even the price list for the place, the rent of the cremation room, funeral home, ash shelter, etc.

and i was so shocked
i literary open my mouth widely
surprised with the nominal written there

IT'S SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!

yes!
seriously it's expensive

and ironically, we have to pay that super high amount for death, dead people.......

(great business i thought for a sec hahahahhaha)

wow
WOW!
i mean WOW!!!!

and i immediately recalled the status people wrote in facebook

life is hard, die is easier

and i just know
as a snap! life is hard but die isn't any easier.

seriously people think 1000000000000000000000000000000000 times when you think about suicide or killing people
think about the trouble ALIVE people should carry whenever their relatives die
die is not free as people often think it is!
die comes with greater responsibilities and of course money money money

you go to any place, it doesn't have to be OASIS
go to any place for burial, funeral home, cremation site
none of them is free of charge
NONE!

therefore
lesson i really learned is we should really cherish our lives
no matter what
even if you face difficulties, burden, etc
no matter how hard it is, how difficult it is
there is no way being DEAD is the final answer or solution
no way!

think about people you'd leave behind
they have to carry your burden and also extra charge burden

seriously i begin to hate people who say that DIE IS EASIER
because it never gets any easier!

not even if you are alone in this world

it ain't easy at all!

at least when we die, we need to get buried or cremated

well unless you want to jump into the deep sea and get eaten by shark or stung by thousands of jellyfish (im not sure if it's deadly though hahaha)
or unless you go to somewhere unknown and let yourself be eaten by crocodile or anaconda HAHAHHAHA
i obviously won't choose that path to die
or maybe you'd like to go to amazon and get eaten by millions of piranhas

kidding.

there is nothing easier than live our lives as if all burdens and problems are as light as feather
(makes me recall the scene in HORTON)




well the point is: be positive about everything! (:
cheers~
