Sad....

I always find hospital a very depressing place. Other than the gynecology department, the rest of the hospital are depressing. Depressing that you are facing patients who are sick or dying. In fact, it almost seem inappropriate to smile or laugh in these depressing wards.....

This afternoon, I saw quite a sad scene at the hospital. A group of uncles and aunties in their 50s came to visit their dad who was lying in the bed the whole time without any reaction. I am unsure if the old uncle was conscious or not either. 1 of his daughter was consoling him and telling him that his children are all old and even grandchildren have grown up, he can just go without any worries. As she made this statement to the old uncle on the bed, a few aunties were tearing (except for a weird uncle who whipped out his hp to take pics of the old uncle on the bed, which I seriously thought what the hell he is doing).

I have heard cases whereby the willpower of a dying person is so strong that that they will hang on and not go until they see the person they want to see or do the thing they want to do. These are all the 'earthly emotions' and 'attachments' that we have because we are humans..... But for this old uncle lying on the hospital bed, I guess it's his undying love for his family that he still wants to hang on?
