Duduk dan Bantah?

Buat kamu dan kamu yang sedang membenci kerajaan, aku dulu pun begitu. Sewaktu sekolah dahulu, sangat dahulu.

"I hated the government before it was cool"

Macam hipster. Kemudiannya aku berubah neutral, kerana aku dapat melihat kelebihan orang yang neutral dalam isu politik.

Sekarang ini aku lihat manusia laungkan perjuangan, semuanya macam anti-establishment. Laungkan itu, laungkan ini.

Ada juga status yang berjuang atas nama Islam, mengalu-alukan keganasan seperti balingan batu dan kerosakan harta benda. Oh, sedihnya. Dan orang begini pula hairan kenapa orang Barat pandang serong terhadap Islam?

Namun, dalam keadaan neutral aku tidak menyokong BERSIH 3.0. Terus terang.

Sebab aku rasa lebih baik aku duduk dalam bilik, berfikir cara mengubah diri. Mengapa?

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."

Renung-renungkan. Permata itu berada dalam longgokan arang. Padahal molekul mereka sama. Ingatlah, kalau bukan cara Islam, jangan pandai-pandai rasionalkan, "Tapi, ini kan lebih baik daripada konsert yang kerajaan anjurkan", dan sebagainya.

Salah tetap salah. Matlamat tidak menghalalkan cara.

Like a sir.

Trying to recharge and recalibrate my life in this whole week of holiday. May Allah gives me the strength to do so.

Do it LIKE A SIR.

Death

I am a mortal man, limited to a certain period of time. My time will come when I will face death and leave this world behind. Everyone will.

It is true that I fear death. Not so much because of leaving the enjoyment of the world, rather, due to the fear of going into the next world without any good deeds that may help to erase my sins and help me to pursue Jannah.

May I have the strength to always remember Allah. May I have His redha :')

Which type of person are you?

For all these years there are lots of people I've come to meet -- be they people who I still connect with, people who I adore 'till now, people who come and go, and those who are friends forever.

It is through experience and personal perspective that I see every one of them as a person with great mind and potential. Not just in academics, but the bigger picture here: in life.

Unfortunately, not all of those people I've come to meet realise this inner potential and natural gift of theirs. Many of them just give up when failure comes knocking, making themselves struggle. Only a few have come to polish their minds, and actually release their true potential which I believe there are many more to come from these great people.

The two types of people made me think the other day,: which type of person I am? A little bit of both I guess.

I am the type of person who always have the fear of changes. Therefore, I am happy to stay in my comfort zone. Luckily, people around me always help me to get out of that comfort zone, helping me to grow and see the true potential of what I can become.

I know it's a long tough road ahead to be a great person like the people I know but the journey is an exciting one.
