Life - Songs - Meanings - Reason

Life, a simple 4 letter word, easy to spell, easy to understand and also very easy to be taken for granted.

Most people especially during hard times, tend to bend and crack easily, but when life is great, people never tend to appreciate it and always take things for granted.

On the way to work and listening to 988 FM, the DJ was mentioning that he received a sms from a lady who had a 8 month old child that died on 2nd of Jan many years ago, and she is feeling very depressed at the moment because the date of her son's death is coming by again and she is even thinking of giving up her life just to be relived of this pain.

The DJ was a very wise guy i must say, the advice he gave to this lady was to think of her other kids and stop punishing them for something that they didn't do, although she lost her 8 month old child, that is a pain that anybody should not have to go thru, but she should look on the bright side, maybe the death of her son was to let her learn how to appreciate her own life and her other kids more instead of just thinking about dying right now.

Right after the DJ gave this advice, he put on a song by Fish Leung 梁静茹 - 呼吸的痛, i think its a really nice song too! There was one part in the song that goes:

想念是会呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛 看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛 它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛 恨不懂你会痛 想见不能见最痛

This is the reason why i like to listen to songs, for example this song to most people would just seem like a heartbreak blue, but listening to this song at different situations, it also carries the meaning that one should appreciate life even though at times life tends to throw all sorts of craps at us, but the only way to find that pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow is to 咬紧牙根,hard times will not last forever.

refer to the Cantonese saying below:

总有一日,龙穿凤,
不会日日,裤穿洞。

sooner or later people will see you as a dragon/phoenix,

not everyday there will be a hole in your pockets.

I hope somebody understands what the crap i am trying to say here
