Emotionless Stranger Just my thoughts and reflections whilst im passing by... "Worship Allah as if you see him, And be in the world as if you were a stranger or someone traversing a way..." (Sahih Muslim) 
My Thoughts... Tuesday, January 11, 2005 Endings. and Beginnings.
Assalamu alaykum Hmmm 19 years eh? where have they all gone? tis true when they say time flies... I can recall some great things from the past, and my earliest memory which is of going to the shops with my two cuzzins, when we were extremely small. I doubt i was much older than two.. We bought them multi-coloured chewing gum balls, only to have them taken off us by my chingum paranoid grandad and then to see him give them away to these other little children that had come home to play. I remember our sullen faces and how upset we were. The memory brings light to the exhilliration of going to the shops by ourselves and then the despair of having had it taken away. Two contrasting emotions but one which leaves the familiar nostalgic feeling. I can recall other horrible, nasty and sad things too. But from all these momories i have collected over time, I cant say iv made full use of the 19 years. A lot of it has gone for waste, has gone in spending it on useless things of irrelevance or maybe of relevence at the time but not of benifit. sure thats fine but when put on the weighing scale it all piles up, making it useless, and a waste of a great valuable. As my 19 years have come to an end, i have i dont know many more years ahead. Moments end, leaving us with hopes and aspirations for the moments that are still to come. Just like at the end of the year, all those thousands of people like me, made resolutions and planned dreams for their next year. That was broken and dashed by the earthquake and tsuanami which brought an abrupt end to their life. they never had time for their new beginning. Just like at the time of hajj, many hundreds made firm vows of how they would lead thier life to come but never had the time to live the new change in themselves which they felt they had so firmly embedded into their hearts because their life was cut short once again by an abrupt end. Who knows what abrupt end will be there to grasp hold of my precious life and take away my valuable time. We all wish for great beginnings to erase the not so good endings, but we all dont know how long we have left of our new beginning. I guess wasting it, certainly aint worth it.
