Sometimes I wonder why care so much about the way we look, the clothes we wear and how much they cost or why good things happen to bad people and bad to good people. They say "hardwork is key to success", but the Janitor works more time than the CEO but earns way lesser. Another said "Seek first the kingdom and other things be added unto you", most gospel preachers still don't own their personal cars and I say to them that is "LIFE AS WE KNOW IT".
Cyndy the virgin girl, whose father died of cancer finally finished from university with First Class Honours and heads to the city to do menial job before she heads to law school. Cyndy's drunk uncle rapes her and got her pregnant. Cyndy wants to fulfil promises she made to her to provide a better life for them and opts for an abortion and dies during the process. They called Cyndy a victim of circumstance, I tell them that is "LIFE AS WE KNOW IT".
