This is not the first time ever for me to actually own a
blog. In fact, I’ve had tones and tones of useless blogs, filled with random
things which I think (and my dad thinks) are unnecessary. To be honest, I’m not
a great write either, so my posts were not very consistent. In Indonesia there
is this a quote saying “ hangat-hangat tai ayam” or warm chicken poop if
directly translated to English, dedicated to people who are eager to do certain
things at the beginning, but as they progress one loses the eagerness to
proceed. Yap , that is so me. Or may be it WAS
so me. I don’t know. I hope I’ve changed.
A few days ago, I have encountered so many things in life.
From simple things like car accidents, processing my visa to global issues such
as the tension in the Arab world or the more recent one, a very disgusting and
misleading film about the beloved Prophet (PBUH). Inside, I kept on talking to
myself about these issues and somehow was tired of it. Tired of keeping my
opinion to myself and not share it to others. No, actually I talked about some
of it with my parents and a few of my close friends. However, that is not
enough! I want to share my views with the world. I want to talk about these. I
want people to be aware of what I think and vice versa (red: I want to know
about YOUR opinions as well). The point is, sharing. Learning through exchange
of thoughts. As I grow older everyday, every hour, every minute, every SECOND,
I realize how important it is to go beyond the border. Get out side of the box!
What the teachers and your parents have taught us is not enough. Our earth has
a surface area of 510 million sq km and the galaxy is infinity! The Prophet
once told his people to expand their knowledge even if they have to go to China (which is
far from the Arabian Peninsular).
I hope this is going to be my last ever blog that I have
created. I hope I can write as much as I could. I hope it’s going to be useful
to others. I’m just trying to fill in my free time with useful acts. I just
want to know more about the world. I just want to become a better person.
Much love,
