“ It struck me as manifestly fair that everybody in this world should be given an equal chance in life , that in a just and well-ordered society there should not be a great disparity of wealth between persons because of their position or status , or that of their parents .”
- LKY (16th Sept 1923 - 23rd March 2015)
****************
The whole nation mourns over the passing of our founding father the entire week . From the hours of queuing to pay their respect to the small lil' gestures of giving out umbrellas/food/water that actually meant alot to final goodbye under the rain , clearly shown the unite of Singaporeans . Stories of LKY success and achievements could be found everywhere across the news & web I find some touching some heart-wrenching some beautifully written .
Adapted from LSL private eulogy to his father which I find can't be anymore truer , it says :
" When we're young , we think our parents will always be there . After we grow up , as we watch them age and grow frail , we know rationally that one day we will have to say farewell , yet emotionally we find it hard to imagine it happening . Then one day our parents are really gone , & so we're left with a sense of loss & pain . That is the human condition . "
don't you agree
