News has reported that a family had just passed on this afternoon. A father killed his wife and two children before ending his own life by taking a flight down from his flat.

It's really upsetting to see a family end up in this state, and it saddens me deeply to be reading happenings like this. They lived just three blocks away from where my home is, where my daycare centre was.

God, sometimes, can be so unfair. He pushes the good people to a dead end, and sends them to hell for what he created in the first place. I'm sorry if this seems blasphemic but it is my opinion afterall. The preacher once told his followers that 'everyone that enters the gate of heaven as equal'. He went on saying that all memory will be wiped out and that you'll live life after the life in this world as equal saints in heaven. I don't get the point. The only reason you live well in life for the right reason is because of love. You love your spouse, you love your family, you love your neighbours; and when you die, you won't be able to even recognise your loved ones. Isn't that sheer agony in heaven? God gives the rich better things so that the poor will be rich after death, but what's the point, even if you do live a perfect afterlife. Sometimes when a dilemma gets too complexed to solve, you feel all bitter, and God shouldn't blame you for that. We aren't perfect and we can never be. Since God made Man sinful, he should never blame us on the acts of sin for the ones we love. Or should he? Free will and free choice are options, but when options stand equal on the scale, what do you turn to?

However, I will be praying for the family who passed on to the next. May the Lord grant them mercy, especially the father.

I'm afraid.
