Cut Short

I watched a show from a local tv network this afternoon and found myself melancholic afterwards. The show featured two young people, a six-year old girl and champion motorcycle racer who was in his early twenties.

The little girl was violated and later on killed. Not that she was wearing  slutty costumes that made the suspect see something else other than an innocent little girl but she was enticed to go to a nearby carnival (peryahan) because it was their little village’s fiesta.

The young man, on the other hand, a champion motorcycle racer who is making a name for himself in international circuits had his life cut short because of an accident due to negligence on the race track and rescue people.

Both lives cut short. Both situations different from one another but nonetheless painful to accept and difficult to understand. As a mom, I don’t know if I would be able to bring myself to deal with these kinds of situation.
