asianavenue is as shallow as this person describes it. but good for him/her, awareness is a great thing to have, and spreading the word and educating with reality is much more effective than the drivel usually put into our heads.
Having said that, the world is full of tragedies but at the same time for every death there's a birth, everytime someone's heart breaks another falls in love, etc etc, in other words, success stories do happen. It sounds way too optimistic even for me, but the claim that the world is a sad place is a little heavy. It's more or less...mediocre...or rather...room for improvement
Back to the page, it depends on how educated you are for how much of an impression it leaves. To be critical, I'd say the person should've added ways to tell people how to help the situations displayed ie. donate to xxxxxx organization, be actice in xxxxx ways, etc etc. But any wake up call is a good call.
