Last week had been a busy week for me. I was travelling here and there, getting couple of things to be done by it's due date. With classes to be attended and some daily target to be fulfilled, everything seems to get out of hand.
But, ALLAH is most merciful, for sending good and kind friends for me. Without them, I think I was about to lost my step.
While having my breakfast this morning, this idea crossed my mind. Working with so much people at one particular time really taught me how important it is to make sure we have this good people, at the same time kind by their own character.
I recalled my childhood, how strict and rigid it was to be told do's and don'ts almost in every part of my daily life. I was told to be discipline so that I can be good. As if only by being good I will be loved and accepted.
Yes, being good do create functioning society, but a robotic society without soul. Everything become rules. And rules become our standard in relationships. That type of upbringing is nevertheless important in order to setup a healthy value system.
But at the end of the day, our life will have no difference than a working robot. When something come to break our system, a robot will eventually stop working. Challenges become unbearable. Being different will be judge. Questioning and defying become impossible. Maybe this is the point where "good" people seems inhuman.
I'am not rejecting the whole upbringing system. I'am emphasizing the bad consequences of nurturing our generation with rules at same time neglecting how to teach them to live with heart. How to accept people with differences, how to serve when being betrayed, how do be kind towards life. Of course those particular things only work by feelings, which is more lenient and flexible.
"ALLAH is most merciful, for sending good and kind friends for me. Without them, I afraid that I will lost my step."
I'am just reflecting myself, who is still struggling to find that kind soul within me.
