May God Bless His Soul...

A lecturer told me some time ago that when we suddenly remember someone, it's good to pay him/her a visit. Around 2-3 months ago, I suddenly remembered a close friend's grandpa who has been close to me for some years. Though I wasn't his real grandchild, he treated me like one.

I thought it was only a normal feeling, as I hadn't seen him for almost a year. But I let it be and moved on with my life. A feeling crossed my heart a few times telling that I should pay him a visit, but my tight schedule had been preventing me to move around much. So the feeling went by just like that.

Last week I received a text message, sent by my friend. I was sleeping that night. I woke up at a sudden and straight away checked my phone. It turned out to be a message saying that his grandpa had passed away. Without a longer moment, I felt tears streaming down my face, realising that I had lost someone that I longed to see. Too bad, too late. I should listen to my heart that time when it told me to pay him a visit.

I swear that the very next time, when such feeling emerges, I will listen to it. So I won't regret again. May he rests in peace, and may God bless his soul and put him among the most pious souls.

Two wrongs...

...don't make a right.

I was taught by my beloved parents not to return a blow. That's why some people like to walk over me...countless of time. In Hindu's teaching, they said that there's a karma. I did read my previous post telling that what goes around comes around. That's, in fact, the exact definition of karma. Some even state it as The Law of Karma.

So here it goes. I don't believe in other religion, but not their teaching. There's no religion in the world calling for the followers (or at least readers) to do harmful things onto others. There is none at all. But I wonder. Is there any broken link to this? In fact, there are many! People actually just sweep their mistaken thoughts under the carpet.

I'm not telling big about myself here, because I'm not in the position to make a judgment about myself. I rather not to return a blow to someone who has delivered his/her countless blows onto me. Not because I'm weak or something, but it was the correct indoctrination of Islamic teaching by my ever-beloved parents.

By standing on the doctrine alone, though I can't become a better person myself, at least, I don't want to agonise people by returning blows. They have already agonised themselves delivering blows towards me. Because two wrongs don't make a right.
