oil prices on red alert. inevitably other prices will follow suit. not to mention the fear of recession ~ everyone predicted it will happen after the Beijing Olympics.
and we cursed.we blame.we claim and pride on our so called civilized rights: the right NOT TO SUFFER.
only days ago, weeks, barely months; China hit by the worst tremor the world have ever witnessed. Nargis paraded through Myanmar. and I'm eager to ask: how many of us, graduates, pre-graduates, remember, or knew, of Nakba.
in the light of everyone-predicted-recession, understandably people are concern of their economy factor. I wouldn't blame them; yet you will see more of the future if your emphasize is not on, well, material.
it is your perception; the need for material, that droves you into this in the first place.
MONEY is WORLD, and WORLD is MONEY?
i'm not denying that yes, you need money, but i ponder; what is the magnitude of money by your moral and intellectual?
so the WORLD revolves around MONEY. in turn actually they revolve around U.S. and you, perhaps. perhaps if you play by their rules. why not create your own rules? your own culture? but certainly not your own religion.
what i'm saying is all this time most of us, for the best part in our life, didn't have our own culture to hold with, to be with. hedonism is like religion-sake for young uns, materialism and position, politics, is the air for us.
I want to be beautiful as her.
I wish I had a Ferrari
I need a 3G handphone
what stimulates one's mind to yearn for the above? instead if you took some time to learn from your surrounding, to empathy other people's sufferings instead of just sympathy, then you will understand, you are firm, you are relieved, you are YOU.
and thus, by learning, by thinking, by stopping a moment instead of chasing and imitating others, you BELIEVE more in HIM.
