a "distance" friend's father is diagnosed with cancer. I don't really know him but i read his blog. I can feel his fear through his words. I feel sad, i pray for him. I don't know, everytime this kind of things happen, i always wonder what's the purpose of life? emotionally I am rethinking various decisions i have made so far... so if life is short, should we be more serious about things or to take them easily?
