today, i've seen a beaten man..
i just finished a heart to heart talk with my staff. 2 are leaving the company, they cannot endure the downside effect of an uncomplete work days.. anyway, i was already devastated, but i never had any inkling of having another heart wrenching talk with one of our workers.
damn ! the guy is so good , how can life be so cruel to him! he was a picture of a happy expectant father just a few days back! Now, he is showing me this hospital bills bearing a huge huge amount! How could he smile? while bills are unpaid, wife and son are kept hostage in the hospital. Additional hostage day would add on the expenses, even the wards would charge like hotel rooms ! Damn!
i cried when he was gone. i could only talk him through, but i could not pay the bills for him. i consulted the company, sorry, they cannot shoulder the financial burden too. they could offer a bit assistance but that's about it..
scary but it's true. sad but it happened.
and it could happen to anyone of us.
many people say that wealth is not all that matters. quite true, but when you're life hangs on a thread, money spells everything. I could only wish i don't experience such thing. I will try my best to have something to pull out when things are tough..
I don't wish to live in a hand to mouth existence..if i can't have much, at least i have enough.
i really hope, i won't go through this... damn!
