Painfully true..

''Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind knows nothing; but blossoms in the heart no wind can touch...''
-YOSHIDA KENKO-

These strings of words sound painfully true, don't you agree?

Actually, the first time i came across this saying was 5 years ago; had jotted the words down in my precious journal. I still had the journal with me, for i believed there will be some time i need to collate my thoughts and see how far i have grown as compared to my teenager's ideals... After being sent hundred thousands miles away from home for cognitive development purpose, i would say that my views about the world have changed and i feel more confident at tackling the unpredictable 'stumble blocks' occured in my path. Incidents after incidents took place, and i barely escaped from a tragical death in London, simply because i accompanied Suraya meeting her Uncle at the UK MSD's (UK Malaysian Student Department) office! I had been lucky not to be bombed into pieces in that train...I had been lucky not to reach King Cross Station at that sadistic time..Though i must admit that my both knees were shaking when i heard the news on the BBC screen...

How could i ever forget that??Only Allah knows best of what i actually felt about these tragedy. Since that day, i always remind myself that nothing...and nothing could be compared to the joy of being alive, able to talk and share things with our loved ones;either sad or blissful moments for it shows that we are actually a part of this world. i could not understand why there are people trying to give up their precious life as a way to display 'honour' and 'dignity; because to me that act is the COWARDEST act of escaptism for we should APPRECIATE the life granted to us Allah s.w.t.
