power of an embrace

people are becoming more detached from anything that defines humanity. less time is spent to show love, compassion and care. there is less time allocated for family to bond. and less time for close friends to catch up and interact.

people are becoming extremely materialistic. time is spent for worldly affairs. those that matter before them become apparition overnight. we become blind of our own sight. we see things that only have value of dollars and cents.

stop for a moment and embrace the sounds of the surroundings. appreciate the deafening silence of the night. smile to strangers that cross your path everyday. hug those you love. enjoy the tight embrace of your spouse and feel the warmth that wraps your body. appreciate the peace that comes with it. enjoy it coz it might be the best thing that can ever happen to you.. just by a simple hug.

malaysians and spreading lies

the advancement of technology has its pros and cons. a world without boundaries comes with great drawbacks. people are free to spread lies, news, slander and information without limitation. a lot of people have been tarnished from their respectable image due to this so called thing we call internet. people easily spread super imposed pictures and fabricated information that have no reliable source. people become addicted to spreading lies. all they think about is wanting to be the first to convey that information to others. doesn't matter if it is right or wrong. they think they are smart if they spread interesting news that might get some sort of reaction from the general public. people are using less of their brain cells nowadays to filter knowledge and trash. people just want to be famous. for all the wrong reasons via the wrong way.

in Malaysia, it is such a common phenomenon to  associate everything with corruption, money laundering and to a particular political party that they think controls every individual in the country. if things don't go their way, then everyone else is corrupt. everything else is dirty.

and when they are not satisfied of something, they go on the internet to spread lies that are made up of their own hallucination and delusion. they use religious remarks to scare people when they themselves don't believe in God. they act as if they are holier that thou. they are the biggest culprits and if they deserve to be incarcerated, then prison is where they should rot till their last breath.

you think you have it bad?

when i thought i was strong, i saw stronger women cross my path. and when i thought i had a tough life, those with all kinds of misfortunes happening to them would come and rub them in my face (well, not literally..). and they are not necessarily older or more experienced than me.

one of them was a 20 yr old girl who has a 3 year-old son who suffers from cerebral palsy. she is this fine pretty young lady with a demeanour that is way too mature for a 20 year old. i get easily moved by these kind of people. knowing that she would have to forego her fun-time with friends or doing things that a normal 20 year old would do bug me at times. it is all because she has a responsibility that not everyone has on her plate. and it is no ordinary child, but one who is so special with his name already etched in heaven.

i wonder if i could be as strong as her if i had been in her shoes. would i pass the bucket to someone else? would i get a helper or a nurse to look after the child. would i be as patient and accepting? i don't know. i will never know.

i pray that she has all the strength that she needs to cater for the child till the day he dies.
