Youth is wasted on the young...

Just finished watching the last 3 episodes of Smallville season 2 on my comp last night. The orchestral strains of the "Theme From Superman" still haunts deep in my mind; you can almost envision Christopher Reeves taking off as Supes. And think about the unfortunate tragedy that has befallen him.

In another tragic event, one of my primary schoolmates, a brilliant academic student as well, has apparently committed suicide. He had a case of mental breakdown over studies back during the 'O' levels due to over-stress. I have no idea what drove him over the edge to such desperation but I guess it should be pretty bad. Makes you wonder what happiness really means in your life and how the quest for that blip of emotion can be skewed wrongly and horribly as well. And how the consequences of each of our actions can affect one another in a subtle or very direct manner.
