[did the captain of the titanic cry?]

[Did the captain of the Titanic cry?]

when the Titanic submerged into the atlantic ocean years ago, it was the hottest news ever..i bet, it still is, up till now..the so-called unsinkable ship made such headlines days, weeks, even years..
a catasthrope no one could ever imagine..

the luxurious ship cost more than $7.5million at that time..flashed with expensive French restaurant, swimming pool, a gym, squash court, an electric horse and other God-know-what-they-want stuff..nevertheless, the first class passengers paid $4350 (around $50 000 nowadays) for the temporary man-made 'heaven'..

Captain EJ Smith, the man at the helm, was among the most famous persons discussed..i wonder, what he felt at that time?

to see his dream.. fall into pieces, right in front of his bare eyes, till the last breath he took..

all he wanted is to speed his dream straight to the stars, but it dunked into the very bottom of Atlantic ocean instead..

yes,
he was the one who sped up the gigantic titanic on the unfateful, moonless nite..
yes,
he was the most experienced shipmaster at the time..
and yes,
he wanted the last chapter of his career to be the most glamorous, respectful episode..

but no,
he was not aware of the iceberg he was destined to hit..
a tip of iceberg that made all the difference..
tarnished reputation he had to bring, 6-feet under, instead..

~*it's all about the shattered dream*~

how hurtful it is to see the dream that we beautifully colours in mind,
crushed like a piece of useless glass..

how frustrate it is to feel the dream that we weave perfectly with golden thread,
unbraided like frail strand..

and how discourage it is to hear the melancholy songs,
when we wish at the rainbow's end there are happy melodies..

but again, who are we to doubt the incoming uncertainties


so tell me,

when we see all things falls apart..


is it wrong to cry?
