Blood Challenge

the last few days, from 13 to 16 of march, there's an event going on in NTU, called blood challenge. i found it very interesting...
lots of people went there, donate their blood.. dunno what their intention is, some, maybe to save lives, some..maybe because they just follow their friends.. some, maybe just want to try... or maybe another reason..
myself? maybe i'll put myself to the third reason.. there was quite a number of times the redcross had this kind of event back there in jakarta. but.. i never put myself to it. i thought the process was kinda.. painful, and.. meaningless..
but now that i think of it again, i think it's something that we should do if we could... it's not that anyone can do it. lots of my friends are rejected from donating. some because of the medication they take.. some because of the low blood pressure.. some of this reason and that..
so, if we can, why not? it's not that we need the blood we donate. blood, as we know, is reproduced all the time.. and if within 3 months it's not donated, then, it'll be destroyed, and go to the sewer..
then, why not give them to those in need?

in everyday's life.. maybe we're too ignorant towards other.. we have something that we don't need, and yet, we don't want to share to others. dunno why.. maybe the embarass of being such a busybody.. or.. something this and that..
sometimes, lots of people need our time and energy.. and we just don't care of them. why?
i think we should give help to people.. not so that people know about our kindness.. but so that we can receive others help without feeling guilty.
it's not just the blood challenge. i think the appropriate title for this.. is life challenge? haha
