Cherish life

Life is short, we must cherish the people around us. sounds familiar?
I've just watched an episode of TVB drama, where one bad yet rich guy just learn that he's got a terminal brain cancer. his world collapse, but at the same time it also reminded him of his love one whom actually love another guy. it's a bit complicated, but well it does reminded me of myself.
Time flies, for the past few years, it had been shock after another.. the postive side of it is that i have grown stronger, and definitely realise the importance of people around me. And i would want to hold on to this 'revealation' always.
Actually, i would think that life does not really need shocks to cherish life right? Maybe it's all the hours of routines, works etc that kept us too busy and make us lose our way?
On this i guess those with God, or has God as their refuge and shelter definitely will fare better than those who does not. It's assuring to know there is always someone to lean on when situation gets out of control, when we are helpless right?
i am digressing.. well anyway, the lesson today is that we all should cherish our parents, family, friends who love us and every little thing that counts as important.
