"There is no greater challenge for a warrior than to open his heart to love"

I read this in the comic strip, the Black Panther.
Conflicting but in some sense, true. How strange that it applies to me at this moment too, though im of course not a warrior lah.

However, if there any people who still read this blog (which I think so), you'll know that the current predicament that I'm in doesnt make love any complicated than perceived of. Therefore, is that challenge of opening a heart to love one that has been overcome?

Time will tell.
Insya-Allah, this love will progress on correct paths.

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

Before I begin, this blog post is for the intention that you may find some inspiration or understanding. The contents may seem vague to some of you (what do you expect from an old man's writing?) but I pray it will enlighten or have a positive impact.

Recently, people keep throwing around about how this world is getting worse. So much evil spreading around. People losing faith, losing strength and courage. Take a look around anywhere, even in the newspapers and you'll find an article reporting a tragic event or criminal trials for example. Whether the deed is big or small does not factor.I've met people where in some situations, they refuse to do what is right because it may end up causing hurt or 'self-destruct' such as being shot at verbally by the person(s) they intend to help.. ONE CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF SUCH A SCENARIO: PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. I will not elaborate further as I am guilty myself in many instances.

Honestly, such talk deepens my sadness at how unbecoming we are.

But this world has not ended and there is still some good. Good worth fighting for.
In spite of all the bad deeds committed, do you see people doing good deeds? even just a small act of kindness, like helping a fallen person stand up? People complain of how little good deeds and how much bad deeds there are everyday.

I used to be one of those people. The feeling of seeing so much wrongdoings weighs down on you like a huge stone on your heart. What makes it worse is when a simple good deed is belittled.

"Never judge especially since you can never read a man's true intentions" With that quote in mind, I could not understand people belittling others who try to make some good. One such example is 'going the extra mile' to help and it is perceived as anything other than truly helping a person. (common reasons such as seeking recognition etc)

Sorry I digressed. So back to the point, if you do take a closer look, you'll find that not everything is as forsaken as it seems. There was one incident where I was blessed to see beyond the smog. That I will not elaborate.

Ever since that incident, I have made it a daily priority to do as many good deeds as I can. Like I wished for on my 20th birthday; to be a better person. But like all wishes, it does not come true if you do nothing about it.

"God helps those who help themselves"

To that wish, I hold.
We can all choose to sit and do nothing as the whole world burns in flames or we can make it a better place for everyone. However, most people will give responses such as "this world is gonna burn anyway" or "what difference can one person make?". My answer is you might as well be responsible for its burning and you make all the difference there is in this world. Remember, God helps those who helps themselves.


And slowly but surely, I begin to feel that weight on my heart lift with each passing day.




I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

In the words of another
If we were all the kings and queens
I'd probably be your only servant in this world
