Life

Life is like taking a ride on the MRT.

We all know someone is taking control of the train, but we never know who.

Some people don't even have a chance to board the train. They came too late. They are less lucky.

And after you got in, it's not easy finding a nice place for yourself.

You stand in the way of others most of the time.

Even if you're seated, sometimes you have to give up your seat.

And most importantly, the moment you stand up, someone else will take your place.

More often than not, just when you're getting comfortable with yourself, it's time to get down the train.

If you're not careful, you may miss your stop. This always results in more sufferings.

When it's time to get down, it's time to get down.

We need to make place for new passengers.

And there is never a free train ride.

We all pay for it in the end.
