Wildfire

There is a wildfire, it has now made the street dustier and smokier, yet they keep on burning the forest without a second thought, there is a wildfire, it causes my nose to cry and dry and when there is no moisture, there is a feeling of hurt when the process of inhale and exhale takes place, as I continue to inhale and exhale in discomfort, it’s as if as long as the discomfort was felt it was cursing the people who were reaping the benefits out of this wildfire.  There is a wildfire, the haze as an affect causes a splendid terror; my eyes burns, bleeds tears of helplessness and anger. Which wealthy person’s pockets are being filled with euro dollars?! What a challenge and a test it is to be weak and poor, the poor chap has not known justice nor did his parents mentioned anything about justice, it was only known to him via tales that were written in books. What a challenge it is to be weak and have no control over oneself he only has the choice on how to accept the consequences. What a challenge it is to be weak, when someone else gets to determine the condition and the weather. Such is the state of the world. There is a wildfire, we live in a country which is rich in nature, yet as rich as it is, it is nevertheless limited not limitless! It will soon be depleted, yet these crazy people crazed with power they keep on cutting our resources, what will happen to the clean air and clean water, live stocks and vegetation? Don’t they know that neither currency nor gold can buy air and water? Can their money cause trees to grow or flowers to bloom? Obviously they do but what they care for is the wildfire, one that resides within their hearts, one that causes them to stir and deter others.  There is a wildfire; artificial rain can’t seem to stop the vengeful wildfire. There is a wildfire, one that is made of anger, one that hopes for change and just rulers. There is a wildfire, one that consists of calm in the realms of terror. There is a wildfire, one that stands firm and is filled with love that has overcome all barriers.

Rantrantrant

I have this habit of inappropriately getting sick during festive seasons. I am now recovering from a fever which has lasted for two week, give or take. It wasn’t fun to say the least. However judging from my sickness which lasted for quite a long period, I feel so much more overjoyed! and so much more grateful for being healthy again albeit not a 100%. I was back at work last week and that too wasn’t fun because I was as you would’ve guessed, not feeling well. Another thing I’ve learnt was the deed one does in routine/everyday somewhat halts/comes to a stop when one is stricken by (in my case) sickness.

Which reminded me of this quote, "Take advantage of five matters before five matters:  youth, before old age; health, before sickness; wealth before poverty; your free time before you become busy; and life, before death."   This quote makes so much more sense now. Let’s just hope it stays longer in memory.

Being absent minded and taking things too easily can be life risking. Yesterday, I said to myself that I’d be useful and get some things done. With that in mind, I started cleaning my aquariums and pond. There was one particular aquarium that stood out because it was literally yellow in colour. I drained the water out, cleaned the filter and everything in it and started filling it with water. Only that I forgot to fill the aquarium with aquarium salt/ liquid C02. To put it short my negligence had led to the death of several fishes. Out of guilt and exhaustion, I was considering a different hobby.

I thought I got thinner, today whilst I was putting on my pants I was greeted by a surprise I wasn’t as thin as I thought I’d be.  It’s funny while you’re fasting the thought of eating doesn’t cross the  mind but when you’re not every idle moment wishes to be filled by chewing something or drinking something nice and sweet and cold. Alas, the desires of mankind.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to purchase a new cpu, it has now made life so much easier and convenient. Only bad thing is, I spent way too much time now watching animes and other entertainment shows. This in turn prevents me from doing more necessary and important stuffs like studying and house chores.

Lastly, I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Eid. Plant more trees, please.

Of explanation/s

Judging from my previous entries, one might think that your humble writer might be hating on the rich. Truth be said, neither does he hate rich people nor does he dislike wealth (duh!). Many of my friends too are people who are well off. Also. I’ve recently have with my own eyes come to know many generous rich old chaps who assist and help organizations and needy people. A respected scholar I know said, “We compliment each other, the rich needs the religious and the religious needs the rich.” He also added that it is always better to give people the benefit of the doubt. Still, whenever I think of the oil rich Arab countries and compare them to African countries or other Asian countries. It just makes one go, “Hope for humanity…*Poof*”

Having said that let me explain myself; what I have a deep dislike for is the arrogance, the misuse of power, the special treatment, the disparity, unfairness, capitalization and the list just goes on. Still, if only the poor stop betraying the poor and stop preferring the rich to their own kind, things would be so much better. It is also the delusion of the poor who thinks by helping the rich, he too might get wealthier hence he betrays his own kind. Alas we are often cursed with a hollow mindset. Again, I don’t dislike money, I dislike the effect money brings to people. It changes them into monsters. Let us hope and pray that we don’t swerve and turn our backs from humanity and from being human and humane if were to ever obtain wealth.

Recently From an entry of mine, I’ve been getting some feedbacks that made certain individuals think that I am against earning a living or something (Yes, there are humans who read my work). To that I say, I waste too much money on things I don’t really need hence that makes me ‘pro-living’?

Finally, amongst the the things I wholeheartedly despise, is the demented delusion people have or are programmed to believe that wealth = happiness. To that I say, well I don't want to say anything because what I say has no substance neither weight. Let's look at the bright side and hope we all become brighter both outwardly and inwardly.
