Losing another one...

Two weeks ago, on 19th January 2008, at exactly 3.30pm I was told of my cousin's death in a car accident.
That would spell the second death in my extended family in a mere 6 months.
We were fuzzy on the details of the death but was told that he died on the spot of severe head and chest injuries.

To say that we were shocked and saddened is merely skimming the surface of the immense loss we suffered. Death is very permanent. Yes, that is stating the obvious but one does not really understand death until one finishes writhing around the pit of denial.And then it hits you. By then the grief is so insurmountable, it becomes impossible to actually understand why it happened.

Anyway, that is a post for a whole other blog content. This post is about people who make comments,not just any comment but stupid, insensitive, half a bird brain type of comments.

Now if you see a picture of an accident like this:-



WHY THE F would you make a comment such as :-

"Padan muka!Siapa suruh pandu laju laju?"

In the first place, how the heck would you know that he was driving fast? Were you there in the car? Were you at the scene of the accident when it happened? Who died and made you the speedometer that recorded the speed of the car?

"Ish. Mabuk ke dia?"

Okay, just because someone is involved in an accident it automatically means its because he is drunk?!

"Itulah, siapa suruh tak pakai tali keledar"

So now it is proven that wearing a safety belt will definitely keep one safe in an accident? Did you not read about the Singaporean car which crashed on the highway and all were killed except the baby who flew out of the window and survived the accident???? Every accident is different.

Now, all these comments that are posted on the internet are accessible to everybody. Does it not occur to you that perhaps just perhaps the victim's mother or wife and family may read it? Would it not hurt them to read these comments? How would you like it if one of YOUR family members were killed in an accident and I say " Oh he must have been drunk. Well, no loss there. Just another idiot who drove too fast!"

Sure, I am not immune to saying "UGH!These rempits really get to me!That is why so many of them die!!" but I would never ever THINK of passing a scene of an accident or looking at a picture of an accident and saying " Dude, he totally deserved to die."

W(ho)TF says that? WHO?!

I wait for the day that ehoza.com members who commented on the accident to lose somebody. Somebody they truly love. Their only son. Their husband or their father.

I will then gleefuly say " Padan muka"

But then again, I am not as heartless and stupid as the members there are. So maybe I will wait for the day one of them oh I dont know, maybe just lose a limb or two.

I am just counting the days until it happens.
