this picture was taken by Kevin Carter in 1994 which is the Pulitzer prize winning photo.
it is a picture of a african baby crawling towards the sudan camp for food.
the vulture beside it is waiting for the poor child to die so that i can eat it up.
this picture shocked the world.
the photographer, Kevin Carter, fled the scene after taking the photo
3 months later, he comitted suiside due to depression.
yes, it really did.
mr jega showed this picture to the whole school during the free period today. there was a deadly silence in the hall. some were on the brink of crying, some tears fell off some cheeks, some cursed under their breath, the rest were merely speechless. i was speehless.
this picture made me reflect how fortunate we are and how God has blessed Singapore these years. we, in Singapore, have a proper drainage system, they don't even have a proper toilet; we have water that can be drunk from the tap, they savage for water; we have proper housing estates, they are living in horrible refugee camps. furthermore, we take our situation for granted and they are actually really grateful with what they have. i think Singaporeans have to be more grateful in what they have and not complain about the bad things in life. i mean, hey, life is not perfect, right?
sometimes, i think is the bad things that we are focusing on is what that makes our lives seem miserable.
