Spoke to one of my best buds recently. Something he spoke about just linger in my head. We were just talking about some problems I was having at home recently. Family or friends? I remain pretty neutral to his point of view but as usual, it set me on my thinking trip. When we come into this world, we are born into a family, hopefully a treasured gift to a nice couple. We don't get to choose our family. We do not have a choice. We don't get to choose our parents, our siblings. As for friends, most of us make a conscious effort to choose who we call friends, no matter whatever the reasons are. They screw it up for us, we have a choice to call it off. But we can't do the same for family. No matter how many times they screw things up for us, cornering us.. Family will always be family. We are to forgive, forget and move along....
As like the news yesterday, a 36-year-old lady threw her one-day-old baby in a trashbag and placed him in her locker at her workplace at NTUC Supermarket. She was only arrested after two weeks. By then, the poor little thing was already in an advanced state of decomposition. I would think that the baby has no choice at all. If he did, he wouldn't have choose that irresponsible or probably mentally unstable lady for a mother.
