It's About Grey's Anatomy (again), Career And Death

Well, I think I will just write a little on Grey's Anatomy. Both Meredith and Christina have men who love them alot. However, their love, are implicated by issues of life. They thought for themselves, and they thought for another person. Life gets more complicated. Meredith realised that wife of Shepherd cheated on him first, but still, she need more from him to know this love is worth keeping. Christina, oh Christina... I missed the part when she told Burke that she is pregnant. My heart goes out to her when he told her that it is to the best interest of both that they split, using career advancement for both as a reason. I get more emotional when I saw her walking into the bar and told Meredith "he has dumped me."

It used to be such a strange word whenever I heard of it in the past. Nowadays, it erupt the buried emotions within me. My nose got sour, and tears were going to well up, but I held them back.

We will be moving to another office next week, and boss was asking us how many boxes of namecards do we need. I was thinking about that in the shower just now.

Does that have a hidden meaning that I will stay with the company for the next 3 years, since we are going to print namecards good enough for 3 years? How about your plans to move to the translation arena, I ask myself. Will it happen within the 3 years? If it does, what are you going to do?

I have no idea. I guess, is que sera sera.

Later part of the day, there was sadness in the office. Boss heard from someone that someone they knew passed away from pneumonia. She sobbed after telling the other partner about it, and my colleague too, cos she knows the lady who has passed away. Later I heard from her that the husband and the lady used to be in our company. But he did something behind the partner's back and was asked to leave. However, from the way boss cried, can tell that they used to be very close.

Something came to my mind as my colleague told me that the couple has a 7 year old daughter. I had it sms-ed to myself in case I forget after my aerobics class.

Even death brings with itself an opportunity for us to treasure those people around us. Surely we do not want our enemy to die of a horrible death, do we?

There has been alot of funerals and deaths in recent years. Maybe because we are growing older. The common reaction when we hear of someone we knew passed away suddenly, would be that... it's so sudden. We were talking to them sometime back... etc etc...

Then we will go into a time of self reflection, and most of us, I believe, will pay more attention to our loved ones for some period after the death of this person.

However, I guess today I learn that, truly, we should also love our enemies. We never know when will their lives be taken away from them. Granted that the partner did something bad, it doesn't mean boss will not grief over the loss of his wife.

Each of us mean something to someone, good or bad. However, we have reached the day and age where even though we dislike certain people (we used to call it hate) for what they have done, we are clear-headed enough not to wish that they die a horrible death. RIGHT? Even if they were to die suddenly, we will be shocked and sometimes, hope that the news is not true.

We only have one life. Do we want to waste it away on hatred? I know of cases when unresolved conflicts were brought to the grave by the dead. It will be gone with the dead, but for the living... the unsolved conflicts will plague us for life.

Today, tonight. I have decided to learn to let go of hatred and value even the most difficult person to get along with.

Because Life is really too short to be petty.
