“Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God; if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove.” (William Ralph Inge)
It breaks my heart to read how by one fateful evening, a couple lost all their lovely children through a horrific road accident. At the same time I am also equally heart-broken to read that there are netizens who were quick to post those gruesome photos of the dead bodies over the internet. Some were even taken at a close distance from the scene of the accident.
These people have become so utterly immune to the feelings of others. All they care is how many viewership they can get from their postings. How I hope they can conjure up the image of the kids’ mother on that evening at the scene of the accident through these lines: “The mother rushed to the scene, falling to her knees, wailing in front of her two sons’ dead bodies. Her loud screaming could be heard from two HDB blocks away.”
