Echo and Paradox in Life

We have huge Petronas Twin Tower But little interest in reading, wider highway BUT narrow insights...

We earn less BUT spend more. Finally, we succeeded and we have all the materiality BUT we pollute the Mother Nature...

We have more degrees BUT less sense of morality, how irony. Maybe as an educated individual we have more knowledge BUT less application and respect towards knowledge.

We should be thankful for all the blessing and gifts from the Creator BUT we are still fighting among ourselves only because of little contradiction in political and religion stands.

Yeap, we have doubled our possessions, status and power BUT we reduced our sense of tolerance and we are too selfish to donate our property to those who in needs.
Impressively, we have been up even to the Moon BUT still unwillingly to talk to the neighbor next door.

We demand more in our life BUT are not willing to sacrifice. Success will happen itself I think, yeap, it's happen only in dream...

We have explore the outer space BUT we neglect our inner space...

this is us, typical and stereotype

My insights are:

Things like money, status and power only important until certain extend in our life. After exceed the breakthrough point, we start to ponder deeply about our life and began to felt empty. Something is still missing... What is it???

In the nutshell, human being will go through thick and thin in their life before they finally realize that the love, care and dignity that relate us to the people around us outweigh everything else.

he3, what do you have in your mind?

what is a Dad?

A dad is someone who

wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

written by Susan Ceylise

remarks:

the sacrifice made by the individual called abah, dad or father is incomparable. He as the bread winner of the family and on the same time provide love, care towards his children cannot be substitute by anyone...

happy birthday to all the daddy in the world... especially to my dad who named me didi and raise me with great discipline and care, without him, i'm nobody... I LUV U DAD!

sincerely, dd

Life, a matter of choices

Life is a matter of our choices

whether we want to live our life full of love or surround ourselves with deep hatred, it is a matter of our choice

whether what we do and what perspective do we see our life, it's a matter of our choice

whether we want to be optimistic person or a pessimist, it's a matter of choice

whether we choose to read some self-enrichment book or have some porno magazines, it's a matter of choice

whether we want to hook up with some ridiculous "religion extremist" or we want to hang out with some so called liberal friends, it's up to us to decide, it's absolutely a matter of choice

whether we want to obligate ourselves to the religion or we want to felt in love with someone, it's still a matter of choice

Maybe we can't choose what is going to happen to us BUT I believe that we can choose HOW we respond to it... whether we turn ourselves to a wise heavenly being or a damn hellish creature...
it is our call... we made that choice

So, if you are depressed, empty inside and you think it's going to be a rough ride, grasp yourself and change your mindset... REMEMBER, it's a matter of our choice

I strongly believe that each of us have the ability to choose and live the life we want to be...

Life is a matter of our choices

p/s: I personally don't like tabligh & hypocrite people ,they are very annoying... he3....

Far Away by Joseph D. Neloff

And the journey started with a song,
a great ballad from yesterday.
The pilgrims plight,
is and endless flight,
to the land called Faraway

On the journey he saw shades of night,
and he passed through skies of gray.
But, he stayed forthright,
as he searched for light,
and the land called Faraway.

On the journey he made countless friends,
and avoided countless enemies.
And he prayed each night,
that he'd earn the right,

to the land called Faraway.

Though, he longed for glory,

his body grew old and fray.

A soul long lost,
is the dreamers cost,
in the land called Faraway.

He lay down in a green meadow,
for he knew his time was nigh.
He relived each scene,
of his minds sweet dreams,
to the land of Faraway.

And though each breath was labored,
each heartbeat found the truth.
And he saw that life,
was both joy and strife,
in the land called Faraway.

And as the darkness took him,
his hopes were bright and gay.
For he'd be one,
with the setting sun,
and the land called Faraway.

remarks:

I browse through the net and i found this poems, nicely written and arranged. It is about a traveler plots of life from the day he left his home to the day he went to the promise land. It reveals to us that life is an open secret, full of sweetness, bitterness, hard knocks and unexpected.
In brief, this is what we called life, never waste it and never complaint about it, as saying goes " those who always complaint will never go to the promise land".

p/s: how do you see & evaluate your life? Is your life beautiful, plain or disaster?

SIS & DRACONIANISM

Here, i want to raise a controversial issue that capture the eyes of the medias. It's the proposal of the PAS regarding SIS views and teachings that PAS believe might deviate muslim in M'sia from the true teachings.

Regarding to this matter, what an immature step taken by PAS... I expect something better than this...

My personal opinion is...

what a jokes? Instead of wasting time and energy arguing these unbenificial matter, I rather they work together, perhaps discuss their insights, maybe work together in promote the teachings, organize beneficial charity activities or raising a fund that might help misfortune woman especially those who need education. Sound better right?

I believe that every religion teaches us to respect our parent and elders, to be humble and perform kind deeds... It's the fundamental of every religion... this is my believe all these time, I really don't give my attention to what other party think except a few.

I believe that the Creator had made human with a blessed mind, do you agree? and i strongly believe that every individual can evaluate what is good and what is bad or even what is ugly. a normal able-body adult should be able to voice up their disactisfaction regarding certain issues through proper channels not by making a drastic accusation.

Regardless of Greens or the Blues or even the blue half moon, they are just merely ordinary human being, they don't have the right to monopoly any one or any party in expressing their own views and stands... it totally violate the human right....

Moreover, to call for any individuals to be rehabilitated. It's too much. It shows no respect at all towards woman. I really feels that a gentle approach should be made by PAS if they want to promote the true teachings.

Malaysia is consists of multi ethnics, cultures and religions. agree right?

If these people could not accommodate the variety views of some muslim activists, how can they tolerate the dissenting non-muslim insights?The intention and insistence of PAS to turn Malaysia into an Islamic state fill my doubt...

I don't have the common mind with the SIS either BUT as long as they have good intention in easing pain and poverty, assist those who need helps, they have my acknowledgement.

what do you think? should the authority ban SIS?

je ne regrette rien

Temporary feelings of regret are a normal part of the mourning process. This helps us retrieve our lost dreams. If we hold on to regret, we risk trapping ourselves in a prison of unrealized dreams from which it is difficult to escape.

BARBARA DE ANGELIS, How Did I Get Here?

Love lives in sealed bottles of regret.

SEÁN O'FAOLÁIN, Saturday Evening Post, Aug. 13, 1966

Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.

WILLIAM O'ROURKE, Idle Hands

It is human nature to want to go back and fix things or change things that we regret.

JOHN GRAY, Mars and Venus on a Date

Regret of neglected opportunity is the worst hell that a living soul can inhabit.

RAFAEL SABATINI, Scaramouche

have you ever regret over something big that happen or some decision you made? I do.

p/s: (1) In French, je ne regrette rien mean that "never regret it".

a short note from Niel

This 2009 already reach half of its lifetime, as I remember, we start with a good resolution and enthusiasm for our journey ahead of our life this 2009. I do.

As time goes by, our spirit, optimistic and happiness slowly fading away due to the ugly economy downturns which affect every continents, nations and families. We began to worry about our life ahead. In addition, we start to hesitate when come to decision making. We afraid of the failures that we encounter.

We afraid of getting hurt.

We are merely ordinary human being, the heart will ache over small and irrational things that happens which always beyond our mind to predict.

Don’t give up. Keep the hope alive, keep trying and persevere.

Helen Keller quotes that “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved”.Thus, let us get over these small things and start focusing on the bigger picture. Let the heart ache, let it ache, let the heart ache… only through pain it will learn to be tougher and wiser not to fool by these little emotion matter.

In fact, this is the best and right time to test our ability and capability. How durable are we dealing with our life?

How high are we able to climb the ladder of success in the mist of economy illness. Even the little things such as how well are we able to manage our time, how we plan our financial, and how wise we deal with our conflicts. All these small things are actually small pieces of victory puzzle which will later accumulate to complete our puzzle of success.


Remember, our puzzle of life is still not complete. So, let us slowly put these small pieces of triumph together. Fill these small pieces with joy, happiness, hard work and satisfaction so that we won’t regret on it later.

I’m Niel.
