MH370 is not the first and will not be the last airplane to be missing mysteriously. Most people are really good armchair generals, and many more speculate without evidence or foundation.

Closure is one of those words with a modern twist that I can't really understand. No premature death can have closure. There are too many why's to be answered.

It took many years for Titanic, warplanes and warships to be located despite fairly well documented evidence and eye witnesses' account.

Commonsense tells us that even all the floating debris are scooped up from the ocean surface and proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they belong to the plane, the location of these finds bear no relevance to the point where the plane went down, if it did go down in the Indian Ocean.

After spending many hours watching many episodes of "Air Crash Investigation", I am no wiser than those poor frontline people that have to face the music.

To be fair to them, they are as much in the dark as everyone else including the so called experts. Finger pointing neither brings MH370 back, nor improve air safety. The crux of the matter is "no one knows what had happened to MH370. Did it take a different flight path? Did it end in the south of Indian Ocean?"

Ended does not necessarily mean crashed. A plane may have exploded in mid-air and fragments fell into the ocean, or like the US Airways Flight 1549 landed in Hudson River, Canada are technically speaking not "crashes".

I posted the following to the newspaper under the name SphericalThinker:

We all have mum and dad, or/and spouse/partner, siblings, etc. but yet many people do not treasure the time when they are around; they are far too busy to be themselves, for their friends and even unknown people, and yet neglect the people closest to them until they are gone forever.

Parents bring us to this world, love us, nourish us, educate us, concern that we are too cold, too hot, get mixed up with wrong company, and they do sacrifice a lot for us. Unfortunately, many people greet others when they meet each day, and yet they think their parents are transparent when they live under the roof provided by them.

Most inexcusable is that many people spend so much time chatting on Facebook or on mobile phone, blogging, playing computer games, hanging out in bars or movie theatres with their mates or buddies, and yet they can't spare that miserable minutes or dollars to call the parents or loved ones to say, "I love you, and appreciate all the things you have done for me".

Many people entertain friends or business associates frequently to meals or parties, but do not do likewise to pamper their loved ones.

Friends, turn your sorrow to strength, and start loving your parents, spouse/partner and siblings who are still alive, whether they are close by or somewhere on this planet. You may not see eye-to-eye with each other, just try to talk heart-to-heart.

History cannot be changed, and time never waits. Say you love them now, not when they are gone. Only living people can hear you!
