A reply to a friend's entry.

I'd say this without being a male or a female, that everything happens for a good reason. First of all, lets put (imagine) the words heaven and hell in front of us. One on the right and one on the left. I believe that's the way we muslims should do in the first place.

Unbelievably, this is what controlling us from doing sins, motivating us to be patience for years. Because we believe, buat baik dibalas baik, buat jahat dibalas jahat. If not now, it will be in the hereafter.

But how about doing nothing?

This is when obligation comes. This is why people stand up, marching all the way through Chow Kit Road towards Istana Negara. I believe people did this because they know what caused rapes and other crimes. There are just too many motivations... physical settings, cognitive relationships.

And I just believe that this is the-good-reason we are searching for.

People get mad when this happens, questioning of God being unfair but they themselves get mad when a group of people fought against Las Vegas Malaysia.

When this happens, this is no more a religious task. God should not be blamed in the first place. Sometimes we ourselves help to create this kind of disaster.

People try to make everything equal but they forgot that we are uniquely made of different from each other.

Only in the late 1940's, people who are studying Human Development realized that the studies aren't just about finding similarities, but also the differences, because that's the way the nature is.

And sometimes we just forgot that the world (better if I say dunia) itself is the arena, where we are being tested and tested, for a very short period. This will hold true IF we believe in God.

IF and ONLY IF ....

I know I am not qualified to argue with anything like these, but maybe this is the reason behind it, so we can discuss, learn and take it as a lesson.

Don't pity the girl, pity us:-
Who knows where we are in the hereafter, unlike that girl....
