Yesterday during lunch, a salesman came up to me stealing my attention away from indo mi goring i was enjoying. In his hand a packet of tissues that I didn't really need as I was all cried out. In the other hand was a cane, and behind him a woman,his guide i suppose.

Normally I would ignore his kind, hoping that they'd go away. Not this time. I felt like I needed to give him something. Reaching my pockets, empty. In my wallet there was only a couple of reds, enough for petrol til the end of the month. But I still wanted to give him something. I remembered I had some ciggaretes left. So I offered him one. At least, I'd increase his chances of getting lung cancer, and cut his life by a couple of days/months/years short. So no more begging, faking blindness and tears. I'd do him a favor.

To my surprise, he refused. He's not used to L&M, he was Dunhill smoker. Wow, apparently, most people were wrong, beggars CAN be choosers. Maaaampusss aaaa....

At home, I couldn't get him out of my head. It got me into thinking about most people me included, how they are never thankful of what they have. But when life starts to be upside down, they start to get reacquianted with prayer mat, masjid, and Iqra', or Yasin. They cried and cried while performing prayers, reciting zikir and whatnot. asking Allah for assistance....... Then they come home, turn on their PC and watch Maria Ozawa getting all kind of medical instrument stuck into her every orifice. I'm talking about you Asrif.orgy. And yes, you too. Oh and you too.

That's the reality with us humans, the forgetful beings, when life is great, never once we wonder about the One who created us,providing us with all the things that we fail to appreciate. Suddenly comes His test, be it the death of your character in Gangsternation.com,broken relationship, caged tiger, etc, then we start to get closer to Him, pray to Him every second of the day, asking Him for strength and solutions to all of our problems. Once granted, we ask for more and more and more, and when we think we have enough, then we stop remembering Him. and we are back to being arrogant jerks that we are.

Not many people realize that whenever u r faced with difficult situation, it means that Allah loves u and He either wants to test as to upgrade your level of iman or as a kaffarah of the sins you have committed (so less punishment for you in the Hereafter). And it is already a blessing if we turn to Him for help regardless of what the outcome is. It means that He still wants us to remember Him. He knows what's best for us afterall.

Oh I haven't been able to explain what that blind beggar has to do with the last two paragraph. Ops,ops, writer's block. Think about it.

"Tak perlu mencari teman secantik BALQIS, andai diri tak sehebat SULAIMAN.
Mengapa mengharap teman setampan YUSOF, jika kasih tak setulus ZULAIKHA.
Tak perlu mencari teman seteguh IBRAHIM, andai diri tak sekuat HAJAR
dan mengapa didamba teman hidup sesempurna MUHAMMAD,
jika ada keburukan pada dirimu. Bimbinglah kekurangan itu sebagai keunikan, carilah kebaikan pada dirinya,
bersyukurlah kerana dipertemukan dengannya
berdoalah dia milik kita..."
Taken somewhere, a lot of websites have this so not sure who deserves the credit.

Mampoooosss aaaaa.....


Blah.
