SADDAM Hussein was hanged before dawn yesterday for crimes against humanity. It was a violent end for a tyrant who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades.

Hooded men led the former president to the gallows, his face uncovered as he was assisted onto a trapdoor and a noose placed around his neck.

SOurce: The sydney morning herald: Butcher of Baghdad put to death in pre-dawn hanging

Yesterday was the day that marks the death of an ex political leader in the world-so influential that almost everyone in the different regions in this world will know about him. And yet, this person who was named as tyrant had people celebrating his death as he was hanged few hours ago.
As i watched the news on the Channel news asia in the afternoon, it dawned upon me that it is really sad to live a life like him-"can you imagine people are actually rejoicing upon your death!" ohh....
indeed, it is so important to live a life that will leave a gd legacy. WHat are the motivations of our life? WHat are we looking for in life? What do we want to benefit from this life? power? wealth ? or merely being someone who can impacts the life of others for God? and someone who knows his purpose of living on this earth ... being in this world and yet not of the world?

*time to reflect*
