Rather than asking readers [yup, suddenly my blog is a HIT now! I even have AVID visitor..] to visit tkcoga blog or put a link in this post, might as well I paste excerpts from K.Ruby's August entry entitled "LIFE". Hence, today's post is not originally mine, just thought of sharing something with you.
Life...
"Life is not a bed of roses. Hmmm... or is it?Wouldn't it be nice to have a bed of roses at your house? Sweet-looking, sweet-smelling roses of various colours? Must be beautiful. Now go jump onto the bed of roses. OUCH!! Thorny isn't it?
So life IS like a bed of roses after all. Sweet... but thorny and can be painful nevertheless. You're probably thinking that I must be crazy to even suggest jumping onto a bed of roses... but I was just trying to give an example of how even the sweetest things have setbacks. And that's how life is.
When you're poor you wish you're rich. You think your problems will be over when you become rich. Then you become rich... and eventually you'll learn that there are other things you have to worry about when you're rich. And that not everything can be solved by being rich.
Sometimes you wish you could just breeze through life without any obstacles. But really, a life without obstacles is like going to school without learning anything. What a waste....
When things don't turn out the way you wished they did, sometimes you get upset. Sometimes you get disappointed. Sometimes you get angry. And when you're upset and angry, you tend to do things, which you think, is the best course of action at that point of time. You don't think of the after-effects of your action. You don't think of the hikmah of your disappointment. You just do what you THINK is best at that point... and then at another point of your life (may be just after... may be much later...) you have regrets and wish you had dealt with it in a different manner.
Yes, things can go wrong even on the brightest of all days. You can wake up on a bright and sunny day, feeling energetic and all ready to go to work. Things can still go wrong. On a very small scale, you may get stuck in a terrible traffic jam or you may get stuck in the lift on your way up to your office. On a slightly bigger scale, you may get involved in a road accident no matter how careful you are. Or on an even bigger scale, when you least expect it, a plane may crash into the building you're in, causing the whole building to collapse...
No matter what happens to you, there are lessons to be learnt. Concentrate on the lessons, NOT on the disappointments. Easier said than done, I know... but what is past is over and done with, and no matter what science fictions tell us, there is no way we can step into a time machine to go back in time to correct things. Such being the case, we might as well try to learn something out of it.
We are not able to tell our future. We can only plan. We need sunshine, we need rain... but only Allah, the MOST powerful, can give us all those. Only Allah knows what's best for us. So while we must still try to plan our life to the very best, let's just be thankful with our destiny.
That's how life is. Full of lessons. Full of hikmah. "
There you are. True, isn't it? LIFE is full of lessons. It's up to us to take up what's best. A serious post this time? Sigh~
Wassalam.
