dying souls....
Inspiration
We sometimes are inspired by the most unexpected things, by the most unexpected people. People whom we often glance but not see, hear but not listen. In the midst of feeling so utterly inadequate with the world, I have decided to just sit in front of my PC and let my fingers do its little dance on the keyboard. My dear friend once told me, "Time is precious. Do something or it will be gone." Those cliche words are often than not said by many, but how often is it that we really take its importance into consideration and actually putting it into practice in our lives?
Taking Things For Granted
At times I wonder, as much as we want to live in luxurious lifestyles, is it of worth striving and sacrificing so many things in order to achieve it? We often chase after time instead of living by the moment. So many things are often overlooked or neglected, resulting to be forgotten and it incorporates into our daily lives.
‘In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910)
Have you ever stopped and pondered how wonderful God's creation really is? The way He drew and painted the most remarkable and miraculous things. Many are busy questioning on whether God really existed but never see the things He has done. They glance but do not see. When was the last time you even glimpse the sky and admire its nature, the artwork of the Almighty. The way the ray of light that intermittently escapes from the wisps of clouds and shines upon gigantic buildings, buildings which some, have cost the life of many construction workers that we are so proud of. The way the birds form intricate nests hidden among the leaves of our front lawn trees.
It is sometimes really saddening to see that trees, the sole natural oxygen source that God has provided us with are sacrificed to generate income, which does not really matter in the end. How selfish mankind are at times. God created this world and place all His inventions but humans want to conquer the world and 'remodel' by eliminating.
You probably have opinions on my post this time. Well, I think it is really something to ponder about. Did you know that since year 1997 till 2005, almost half the forest in Malaysia is gone due to development? HALF. Does it not scare you? Well, it really did me. It is really sad that only the indigenous people and the biologists in Malaysia are concerned about the condition. Do we really need to be educated in specialisation in order to understand that we have to save nature? It is only common sense...isn't it? What is the use of making so much money when the nature is suffering the consequences?
Oh well, you do the math.
