Happy No Tobacco Day, if there's anything to be happy about this one day.



As I watch this man cradle lifeless baby Martin, as though he's just fallen asleep from a day of harmless play and joyous laughter, I find it difficult and honestly, impossible to comprehend the happenings of this world.

Men, women, children and babies struggle to survive in peace amidst the endless chaos of selfish gains, while social media greets me with "Happy No Tobacco Day".

I guess we should learn to appreciate every single bit of good we have, to make sense of anything nowadays. Great job to those who don't smoke and even better job to those who do smoke and choose skip one day of burning.

Hopefully, those working in lush tobacco fields will get one day of rest too, without having to risk their rice bowl for the day.
