Here again in Holy month of Ramadan I wanted to wish every Friend and to their family's Ramadan Mubarak. May Allah (swt) grant you a peaceful and successful Ramazan.
May this month allow us to reflect not only on the Umma but the entire creation and all the wonderful blessings of Allah (swt). May we strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm in our faith. May we use our faith as a catalyst to project Islam into action and bring about a lasting peace throughout mankind.
May we be willing to stand up against wickedness and repel evil with good in all forms. May we remember the example of the Prophet (saw) and utilize the best of manners when dealing with those who are different from us. May we exemplify the revelation of Allah (swt) in all our daily routines. I ask that Allah (swt) grant us the strenth to repel the whisperings of the Shaitan.
“There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It is caused by the absence of you.” This is quoted by a famous artist in his life diary, thinking about the phrase mind goes to the past. Artist is true on this, missing some one especially when the time of separation pains a lot. I had same experience a year ago…. Existence of an unpredictable separation makes the life worse for days. This is normal for everyone’s life. Everyday number of people experience same pain all over in their life. My mind pins to one point reading the phrase….. “Yes its true….Separations hurts”
Coping with separation especially when you are in love can be one of the hardest experiences life hands us. Although the circumstances of separation for a short time are difficult, the hope of the person’s return makes the separation much easier for us to handle. However the intense emotional pain that comes along with it is very difficult to overcome.
For those who say that separation is easy, they don’t really know what it is to love someone. It’s a bold statement, but trusts me, through distance, your heart really does grow fonder, through the thousands of miles of separation, and you realize that you are missing something. Life goes on without them by your side… The mornings will greet you and the nights might bid you to sleep... and yet, the sweetness of the morning breeze… and the sparkle of the night air is not the same...There will be a feeling of something missing... emptiness…. you just wish like having the most hectic days of life... Because it gives you a chance to fill a void that is always present within you but …as the day slows down… the memory of your love catches up... and the longing of this aching heart begins to creep up within …and the hope that someday both will be together again is the only thing that keeps you going.
It is the distance that makes life a little hard. But then again distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be.
If you have ever been infatuated, you would have realized that infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love. As I have realized from personal experience the greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.
When I heard this quotes; The past stood witness, to my present uncertainty, while future was evasive; its is in deed very true about our daily life. No man’s life is completed without his past, present and future. Everyone learns some lessons in their past, live their present and hope for better in future.
Life is presented to us in three forms – past, present and the future. We often keep clinching to our past, refusing to move forward. A time comes when the past stares in our face – at that time we want to jump towards the future but life doesn’t move an inch. This happens because the more we cling to our past, more hotly it pursues us. And then we don’t have the courage to face it boldly.
What is required is that we maintain a balance between the three – past, present and future. It is often said – live in present. Very true indeed! But at the same time we must realize that we can’t detach ourselves completely from the past and also can’t help aspiring about the time to come. We all carry with us a bit of yesterday in our today – no matter how good or bad. The perfect recipe of life can contain: two teaspoonfuls of past, five of present and three of future; garnished with our adorable qualities and values of life.
It had been a few days I haven’t update my blog. I have been out of city for an important matter. As usual again I have been started to update my blog and I hope this could be happy news for those who love to read from my point of view.
As everyone knows the hottest topic in our society is that of parliament races. I myself like to put across few words about the upcoming election. This is the first time in our history that every citizen above 18years of age has their own choice about our nation’s future. I believe past 30 years the people’s majilis was take control by the government and they do whatever the government wants to do. After the last presidential election we have the chance of electing members to the parliament from the public who can deliver for the people and the way that public want to deliver.
This time every citizen of us needs to remember, that we as Maldivian have a choice about our nation. We can make a choice to believe in the best that we can be. I believe that this election has the chance to revitalize our political process. Our past has shown that politicians have been working for their own desires other than full filing the promises they do in their election campaigning times’. So this is our time, our countries defining moment. We could change the past and we could make our history as our generation could proud of what we have done for our Nation.
We have seen so many people are campaigning for the Mjilis, as some have done many promises and some have so many agenda’s. We have seen so many new faces and so many old faces, those who have been successful in their political career and those who have failed to capture public support.
We heard so many speeches and statements given by them. Some are repeated and some are new. Think about it, we all want a political that inspires. When I hear some speeches and thinks that I was hearing something truly different than I had ever heard from a politician in my lifetime.
We have the chance to vote for someone who believes in the best of what we can be. We have the chance to vote for someone who believes that the Our Dream must be open to all who are willing to work for it. We have the chance to vote for someone who believes that politicians of either party or independents have an obligation to work for all Maldivian.
This is our time…………We as a single citizen have their own responsibilities for our nation, by choosing right candidate for the next historic People’s Majilis.
It's not easy to be me! Living with influential disability is a complicated test with no correct or wrong answers in it. All you need to do have limitations. Poor self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, being isolated- name it, I have been through it all! Most of the time, I’m always a victim of labeling. Some people will immediately tag me as "different and abnormal." It really sucks! Indeed, having influential disability with a weak immune system is like a thorn of misery filled with a lot of obstacles along my way.
When I was still in my late childhood, I had a hard time dealing with myself. Back then, I couldn’t understand my life. It was futile! I had no self-confidence even a bit. I hardly socialize with people. I was even afraid to talk to my own cousins in such a way that when I talked to them, they might suddenly laugh at me.
During my elementary years, I really felt ashamed with my classmates and my teachers. I didn’t even recite in class. I didn’t even have the courage to report in front of the class. I was certainly an aloof.
In high school, it’s my first time when I got the nerve to report inside the class. I remembered my first class reporting and I was very nervous then. My mouth was somehow dry and my voice was crack. I couldn’t relax and I really felt intimidated. My classmates may mock at me, I thought. Such a weird and strange feeling that time! On the other hand, I improved myself a bit during class participation. I learned to express my point of views. I had friends; however, I still had no identity on my own. I was still upset and confused about my purpose in this world. Life, for me that time, was completely a boring routine. I came to a point that everything was just useless and dull. I felt extremely inferior when I was with other people. My self-esteem that time was drastically low. Whatever I do or say, I felt criticized and condemned. I fulfilled some of my high school dreams yet my life was still hazy.
I grew up as a confused individual and that time, I decided to make a change and stand with my own decisions. Sometimes, I hate myself for being a handicap but no matter, I need to love myself no matter what body structure fate has given me, right?
After learning life, I join the government still when I see the people around me; I realized that life was really unfair. There were always labeling on my back even if you tried to please the people around you. You might think that the closest people to you are proud of your achievements but it turn out to be, they are not and they will nail you down until your ego will be smashed into pieces. If these people don't love me, I can't force them to do so. All the time when I think of my life it seems loneliness, darkness and miserable.
Inside me, I know that the soul of my family is always there to give me the courage I need all the time. Sad to say, the painful reality still remains the same. Sometimes I feel it would be great, like computers our lives can also run in algorithms. You can have the choice to do what you think is your choice but there are still a lot of things beyond your control. Life has many divisions and you can't always have what you want. It is extremely frustrating to be a human being sometimes, what's more if you are a handicap!
That's life; it goes on no matter how horrible it is. Now that I have realized my own strength and weaknesses, I’ve also learned to balance my self-esteem and just move on whatever it takes. Whatever criticisms that will come my way, I know I can manage it. It really hurts to be criticized but I have to deal with it and there's no other effective way of solving your problems than moving yourself toward it.
Truth is everything we face in our life is very simple as it is if we believe so, what matters most is how you see yourself in the crowd. If you see yourself as a loser then you'll become one. There's only one you and me in this world and whoever you are; boy, girl, young, old, bisexual, sexy, introvert, extrovert, prostitute, doctor, handicap, mentally-retarded, jerk, player, white, black, tall, petite, athlete or nerd, you can still stand tall to make a difference.
Yes, life is, indeed, a journey filled with roadblocks and detours but people, me included, CAN still be a real survivor and choose to survive their own circumstances.
As a handicap, fighting my own insecurities is the greatest battle I have to suffer. It's a curse of fate. It's not my choice to be like this but what can I do? Quit? A survivor has his own limitations, he can lose the game we call life but he never quits. He gets tired but is willing to outplay life whatever happens. For this, living in complicated reality is the true meaning of my existence.
