YOLO

After watching a certain Korean drama named "My Spring Days", where the main female character died from her body rejecting the heart which was transplanted 5 years ago, which I still find amusing as to how on earth did she even survive that 5 years anyway? It is a story after all. The ending I wanted and needed was not given to me by the writers, instead it gave me a new perspective on life.

Life is precious no matter what other people say, from the moment the sperm penetrated the ovum to you being born. Watching this drama really made me understand the importance of living life to its fullest when you're alive, as the female character, Bom Yi really wanted to live her life to its fullest everyday since she got her heart transplant. She feels that she owes it to her donor to live that way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we need to undergo some serious surgery in order to appreciate life and everything we have right now. When I get the chance to read through the papers, I came across an incidents a few months ago, something about this girl suiciding as she felt she was wrongly blamed by a teacher for cheating in the exams. I know this is something to get upset about but come on, you have lived only a bit of your life, not knowing what's in store for you in the future and here you are, ending it. If the girl ever thought rationally, she wouldn't have suicided.

I think we should all appreciate life and enjoy it while it lasts, as it is not going to last forever. You only live once, YOLO.
