FRAGILITY OF LIFE

It has been realised that there are many things that can go above life:

. An ant, will be no more when stepped on.
. A bucket of live fishES and prawns, when poured with boiling water, they are finished.
. Herds of pigs, goats and cows, they are awating to be slaughtered once they are borne.
. As for a man, it will be over when run over by a vehicle.
. Two people when standing below a building, an object dropped from height will crush through them.

Lives will just pass away in matter of seconds.

When things do not happen to oneself, it is always not seen or realised and taken for granted. Just like car accidents, for a bigger country, the daily deaths could be equivalent to a dropping down of a Boeing plane. If an airplane were to drop everyday, then it is frightening. As to having car accident daily, it seems to be ought to.

People tend to have a wrong concept that insurance is to protect life which is untrue. Actually there is nothing in this world can protect life! When faced with disasters, insurance is only a form of protection, rather put it in simple term: "there is A value in every life" which means one should not just simply die. A dead life should leave behind with one's relatives some consolations and compensations. So people should not always say things like, "I am strong and healthy", "I have no sickness and disasters" and if they do not know "Respect and be afraid of diasters", "Beware of disasters", "Preventing disasters", then their lives are just like pieces of meat that will be wiped out by any risk. This is just no difference from "Chickens, ducks, fish and prawns", "pigs, horses,cows and goats"! Haha!!

  1. my uncle died of an accident at construction site, when a heavy object dropped on him. He died almost instantly. He was healthy and fit too. So life is really unpredictable. Don't let anyone close to your heart be un-insured. Life is really fragile like what you said, uncle.
