Minhui lent it to me two weeks ago and i just finished watching everything this week... it was a very touching drama extracted from a real life story... :) i think i might just accidentally cried one litre as well... if you count the moments when i cried recalling the story... This girl, Aya suffered from a strange brain disease whereby the cells controlling muscles gradually disappeared with no reason... she died after 10 years fighting the disease... and her diary was published with the same title as in "one litre of tears"... unfortunately this book is only available in Japanese... :( (it will slow down my reading speed dramatically!)
After watching the drama, i suddenly felt how lucky i am... though i fall down occasionally (not as often as Aya), i am able to walk by myself... i am able to write and type properly... i can eat my meals well without having to choke and risk dying from that... i can speak clearly with everyone understanding me... being healthy actually allows me to do so many things that one cannot do when one is sick... i guess this is something we ought to remind ourselves of from time to time...
how strange people are... we never realise how lucky we are till we see that some other people are no better den us... and after being satisfied and contented for a while, we start to forget that we are lucky and we start to compare ourselves with people whom we considered as even luckier... why do we do that? doesn't that make us more miserable? we must learn to see things in the positive light and stop being so greedy... contentment brings happiness... desires are bottomless pits... if we never learn that our desires is never ending, we will not be happy... think simple and you will be happier... :)
