condolences to the families of the five dragonboat warriors... especially the family of wei cheng, 04s75, sajc.

many times we are discontented with life. we blame people for letting us down, we blame God for not letting things happen the way we want it to be. As a result of huge disappointments, people want to end it all by taking their own life.

i watched the news on television, and it showed weicheng's mom broke down and collapsed in immense grief. that heart-wrenching moment was uncomprehendable. a mother's heartache for the loss of her beloved son... can you feel her heartbeat? can you understand her pain?

and yet... many people are choosing to end their lives... over friendships, over relationships... over disappointments... and they think that by hurting themselves they can find release... and thinking that since no one cares for them, they might as well end it all.

please. treasure your life.



ALL THESE LIVES
Chris Daughtry

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
Momma can't get down those halls
Fast enough to see

Glass is sprayed across the floor
From the broken window.
She can't breathe anymore.
Can't deny what we know.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
You ain't comin' in.

Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces.
Months go by without the cause,
The clues, or traces.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.

Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become
A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
The memories begin to fall.
She asks, "When will I be free?"

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation.
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
