Tragedy = Realisation?

"One man's meat is another man's poison."

It is always through all those tragedies of others' do we then realise what we fortune we always have. Just hour ago, I found out that another plane has gone missing, and this time, it was an even big shock to me because I have fellow RCY members away in Indonesia for their OHP and are suppose to come back today.

"Please, don't let it be them."

And thankfully, it's not them.

Thankfully? Why is it a thankfully? Because it's not my friends that are on the missing aeroplane? How insensitive of me to be thinking "thankfully". Why am I thanking that it's not them when it's the others that are missing? I do not think that the affected families would like my thank. They would not like their tragedies to remind of what not the unaffected one always had.

I could not put myself in their shoes and think what would happen to me if I was the affected one. I would never want to be the affected one. However, that does not mean I do not fully sympathise with what they are going through. The constant worries and reassure needed to make sure that their loved ones are safe and sound, the noises and assumption made by the media; those are the thing I could never put myself into it.

However, it is one of those tragedies again that made me realise what I had. As insensitive I may sound now, I'm glad that they are in the airport with their flight delayed, I'm terribly glad that I was able to receive messages from them to reassure that they are okay.

To the affected families out there, I am terribly sorry for what has happened to the AirAsia plane of QZ8591. The possibilities are vast but let's not stop saying your prayers and keep a positive outcome to the event. I pray to the Father in Heaven that good news will be reported soon and all your loved one are safe.

To the other members of the public, let's say our prayers together and hopefully it will reaches to Him and will bring them back to their families.

#QZ8501 We are praying.

Really hate myself for thinking this way.
