Realisations

Today has been quite a roller coaster ride.

After a fun-filled MT2001 class, things seem to be all fine until a classmate broke into fits/seizures. Not sure what the name of the medical condition is, but it certainly took so many of us by surprise.

It went on for almost an hour, and the classmates tried to control and restrain him. Thankfully the condition was stable, and he was able to explain to us some of his thoughts.

It was a relief seeing how so many of us were willing to help him, though we had no experience, and do not know what to do most of the time.

I wonder how much has he gone through, since this is not the first time he had such outbreaks.

Sometimes, it's only when such things happen, that we realise that we take our health and other's well-being for granted. There's so much more to humanity than just seeking rewards and thrills. So much more can be learned simply by understanding those around us. Walk in their moccasins for a moon and you'll be amazed, dumbfounded.

Life is a blessing. And it's never too late to show someone care and concern.
