[Reaction] The Baby In The Bottle


             Life is full of ups and downs, twist and turns. “Change is the only constant thing on earth,” as they say. Also, in every stages of our life, there is always a challenge to surpass. Problems are inevitable reality of life. Whether or not you can solve these problems, it greatly depends on how you will face it.

            The story of the baby in the bottle is indeed very tragic. It is an almost happily-ever-after for the married couple, until their first baby died. Everything has changed since then. It was as if their dream to have a happy family will never be true. Instead of moving on, the scar in their hearts, especially in the mother, never really healed. They mourned so much for the loss of their child. The man has already decided to start over but his wife is still living in the past. They did not bury the baby; they preserved and carry his or her remains which even intensified their grief and frustrations. It may really be hard to loss a precious child but holding on to false hopes would not help. They had been so overwhelmed with their sadness and forget to look on the brighter side. They never attained peace simply because they let their past haunt them. They could have thought that even how long they mourn for the loss of their child; they can never turn back time.  Going on with their lives does not mean that they do not love the unborn baby, but, they love him or her so much that they are willing to give him or her peace. Everything could have been better if and only they let go of the bitter memories and tried to start over and go on with their lives.

            For me, the most important thing that the couple forgets is to become optimistic. Being optimistic is not always being happy but showing to the world that whatever your problem is, it can never bring you down. Losing a love one is indeed a heart-breaking incident, however, overreacting is not the remedy. People should know how to gain strength in their troubles. There are many things in life that we have to let go.
