wake me up

I think I have been very ignorant lately.  Before, I used to check up on CNN pretty frequently but now I'm just caught up with things that are immediately before my eyes.  Time to zoom out. Change in perspectives can flip the situation 180 degrees. Watch Soul Surfer if you don't believe me.

From my generous friends who love to share their knowledge with me (whether historical or current events), I learned that there was a bullet train accident in China a few days ago that killed 35. How fleeting and unexpected life can be! How unknown the future is.  Also, I would have bought a bottle of water this morning from a certain brand if it weren't for my friend telling me that the media recently reported that water having eggs in it.

Maybe the independent life isn't so safe and desirable. Maybe having a community is an essential.
