Too Much Reading Was Never A Problem

0

© versebyversequranstudycircle.wordpress.com


     The moment you start reading a lot, is the moment you start to be afraid of yourself. You read books about controlling emotions, books about living in the moment and books to accept who you are as you are and so forth. By time you notice yourself practicing skills you never thought you would, you see yourself very dedicated to ensure healthy thinking and not rushing through what might happen in the future because no one knows what is going to happen. You notice yourself puling yourself back to today, when you notice being afraid and emotional about things that will happen tomorrow, you remember that whatever you're feeling right now, whether you feel like crying or anxious, is eventually forced on yourself by yourself. You shiver to the thought of harming yourself, but you happen to be the one doing so with your thinking. Keep it to the day when it comes to calm yourself, but then what happens when that day has come? You can't help but give in to reality and accept your reactions and the harshness of life, somethings are always against our wills, there is nothing we can possibly do about them but respect the flow of time and that only time will heal.

     Little did I know that I would be the one practicing all that, and eventually respecting that only time will heal, will it though?

     Yes, it will because you feel it will and because you believe it will. The day where you look back at your current self will come and you will feel proud of how you mastered the strength to accept reality and move on.

    Appreciating the journey to where ever it plans to take me.

Life's an echo

"Why the sadness and shock when that is what you give." Echo Bliss

    Growing up as a child, my mother always raised me on the basis of  "you get what you give". Nothing more, and nothing less. At that time, a child at such a young age would not really know what that meant, but as I grew up into the adult I am right now, done with high school successfully and now almost done with college, I came to learn the fact behind it all. My mother always knew what she was doing, she was that type of person that drew her life's path and goals clearly and worked to achieve them, no matter what obstacles and set-backs she faces, she got over them and go there. That' what I admire about her so much.

    She always said, if this is how you're treating people, then that's what you should expect from them in return. If you're nice to them, then do expect they would be nice to you at some point. If you've got a temper and threw out on them like it was their fault, then they'd throw their temper fists at you in return. However, the catch in it all was not to really expect anything, but to give and move on. She used the give and receive paradigm as children to make it easier for us to understand what she was aiming at, but as we grew, she emphasised on our Islamic principles more often by saying Allah will give you what you deserve and he always knows what your intentions are. As a senior at college, I cam to learn to do what I want to do and help people and respect them if I want to and not expect the same from them. Just do and move on with a smile on your face. You feel good about you do really and the best part of that little pleasure is that no one knows about it except yourself and Allah.

    When it comes down to someone hurting you and disrespecting you, you do not do the same, yet you do not keep it quite and just nod your head. There are always other way to express the hurt that's been indulged on you, and that's where most people fail. Their tempers always get the best of them, my temper gets the best of me sometimes, but I always revert back and try to deal with whatever it is in different ways.

    It all falls back to what you really want to do and what intentions you have, have them good or bad, you will - and I guarantee you with a 100% confidence - get what you give.


Think well of what you do because you only live once, so make the best out of it.

Different Perspectives

0

My photography during our Winter Break family vacation



Back where I live, it rained heavily this morning. Quite surprising since it's actually summer and the weather for the past couple days was really windy. No objections of course, I'm just saying.

We humans have no control on the weather, we're just good enough in coming up with conclusions and always blaming mother nature.

Anyways back to the point of this post.

Like I mentioned earlier, it rained. I saw it as a gift from god and a blessing,others saw it as something scary, well some of us do fear the sound of thunder, but I actually liked it as much as it scares me a bit. Let's not forget the fact that it's Friday, the blessed day to us So this adds as a positive point to me at least.


As people with different beliefs, we see rain for example differently. As I'm typing this, it's raining heavily in Singapore, it always rains there. But back here, rain is not our best friend well as geographers would explain it as " Being on the Equator makes this country very hard" I do not believe that at all, well I do to some extent but I believe there is another reason to that. Some of you might not agree with my reasoning, but that's ok because just like the title implies "Different Perspectives" . I'm very fond of that idea to be honest, it makes me enjoy talking to people from all around this globe, different people living in different areas, experiencing different problems and different beliefs...it makes me really curious about their backgrounds, their beliefs and all the things like that.

I'm trying to keep this post as short as possible, whoever is reading it right now might be a little lost I assume, because I'm just spilling out what my mind decides to throw away.

Thank you for taking the time and relating to this! :)

Remember what freedom of expression meant?

Lately things have been getting out of control,  just let me point out one highlight.


Regardless of who we are, what we do, where we come from, who we beleive in, and what ethnic group we belong to and whatsoever , regardless of all of that : We are all the children of Adam and Eve. Whether you like it or not, that's the only thing we share in common.

We all have our own beliefs, and we all have our own cultures and religions, but why is it that the right things gets questioned? Why try to force what you want on others? That's not a way to live and that's not the right way either. You only get to live once, so please live wisely and nicely. Just like people hear you out and you are pleased with that, you should do the same to others, because what you get is because of what you do so don't be selfish and just be fair.
