Way – May Enter But Dead End

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 9 May 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

I took this shot last Saturday and was thinking how sometimes even though we may chose to enter a certain way or path (hence, May Road), we need to be careful about that choice because we may just end up in a dead end (hence, the Dead End sign).

It’s just like when you are in a maze, certain decisions will get you closer to the exit but certain ones would lead you to a dead end. So make your choices wisely.

Eerily, yesterday there was an article in the newspaper supplement Digital Life about a lady name May Leong. I read it with shock and sadness of how after her last entry on 21 April about failing health due to being overworked and stressed out, she died two days later on 23 April. :(

Ironically she said in her last blog, “I don’t wanna end up dead for the sake of dough.” I feel sorry for her, her close friends, her family and especially her mother whom she was planning to take on a trip out of Singapore...eventually. But now it's too late.

So friends, make careful choice of the way you choose to tread or not tread. As much as I believe that when one is in a maze or a labyrinth, one should not give up too easily in finding a way out, we must also be wise not to stay at a dead end spot for too long. To find the way out, we must turn around from any dead ends. Life is more precious than that career advancement or getting that extra dollar or anything else that’s detrimental.

Please take care. Live wisely. Live well.
