May them souls rest in perfect peace. We must be cautious of the life we live here on Earth. We should be able to leave indelible imprints on Humanity so we would be remembered for Good when we exit the earth. When I see people fighting and killing themselves because of earthly things, I weep. Life is like a balloon, one punch, it gets burst and that's all
