I have been squandering my time scrolling the Internet and mostly in relation to the war in the Middle East. What i hope to see is the impossible, that peace will prevail, but it seems it is the impossible. As I have always maintained, human life is now worth a single bullet and in most cases a single bomb that wipes out a collective group of innocent victims like schools and hospitals. And like i have always held to be the case, human being has become worse than the animals that walk the earth. Is there no respite from this road of self destruction that we are headed for? Are we not satisfied in killing off our fellow man till there is none to kill? Silly and naive questions for this day and age as we humanity has slowly but surely drifting towards creating a hell on this planet we call our home. An alien from another planet would shudder at the route we are taking, just waiting for one fool to push the N- button out of sheer anger or frustration.
As an individual who have done some traveling and lived among other cultures. done some deep soul searching and self discovery, I have come to the conclusion that mankind is just an incorrigible creature that the creator has just about given up upon. If not for those who are genuinely pious and devoted to their faith, those who are praying for the simple miracles that would deter the worse from happening, those whose faith are unshakeable, I believe the creator would have wrought down the obliteration of this planet if not complete elimination of the human species. To think that Allah has accorded man as the vicegerent of this planet, the caretaker and the warden to keep this world as a place for his progenies and the rest of the denizens that inhabit this earth. Man has become a parasitic virus that threatens to end it all by his weaknesses of greed, hate and ignorance. Where has Love and Compassion disappeared into? Where has care and respect, wisdom and spiritual awareness of the ancient been shoved under? More silly questions, I feel. It is as the saying goes, a dog-eat-dog world we are living in.
I can and have the right to hide myself under a coconut shell and make believe that all is hunky-dory, or move into a mountain cave and say screw the world, but I have done it in my past, it did not help. I had decided to become a father instead and as such incurred responsibilities towards my children and they theirs. As a believer, i hold the responsibility towards carry out my duty to my Lord in making an effort to better the world before i leave it for good. If all else fails, the very least I can do is to pray for peace and the well being of this planet and my fellow humanity. This fasting month is one of the most challenging Month of Ramadan, it raises much more than just the feeling of hunger and thirst; it raises the consciousness of the end of times itself.
On looking deeper into the matter I have also come to realize that I am actually looking at my self, what is within me. I am projecting my own feelings and perceptions into the world while dwelling on the negative, 'shadow' side of my state of consciousness. It is perhaps the by product of fasting which tends to excavate deeper nuances of my subconscious mind that has been harboring past transgressions and weaknesses. In being too absorbed into these past states I am loosing sight of much of the positive and brighter side of humanity, the great achievements that are still being projected onto the stage of life by great artists and sportsmen, discoveries made by scientists and technologies. I am not appreciating of the strive being made by others whose claim to victories are making life more beautiful for the rest of the world. It is not all that dark and gloomy if and when one look at life today with a positive and creative insightful eyes of an individual not veiled by a doomsday prophecy. Yes, shit may be happening on the political global arena, but within me i can still outshine the darkness that seem to threaten human existence itself. I am still divine consciousness manifesting through this human existence and i can do what i will to do, InshaAllah, so help me God.
