NKF children charity show
little children and pre-teens debilated with kidney diseases. what quality of life, for a 17 year old to continue another half a decade, under treatment, under duress, under debt. is it prolonging happiness or hardship? would you choose to continue with life, or give up like i would. Life wasn't meant to be lived that way. i do not believe in prolonged suffering. it is an illusion of accomplishment, for them to achieve beyond what they can. the achievement, the struggle, only leads the same path down to death. to the End, where all is nought again, like words in the sand, like sandcastles in the tide. it would also be wrong to have children, and bestow upon them similar hardships and suffering. what life is there to live.
but let it be the permanent remarkable feat of human nature, to Try, to struggle for existence where none exists. as much as evolution resists advancement, conversely we have to try to survive. If, if, the only bet is life itself, and loss would be death, how much harder is there to try.
all our crazy, over-expensive technologies for saving lives that are beyond saving value, all these fanatical efforts, might one day be worth their price, when human population has dwindled down to the last few. maybe. when we cannot risk the death of any single one. perhaps on an expedition to space. ha.

the cynic and pessimist in me surfaced again. couldn't agree with all the stuff said on the show. at least there was jeff chang and wu si kai singing fen xiang, such a wonderful wonderful song, much better than all the crap on radio.
