Just thinkThe strange thing about us is that we always think in retrospect. We reflect on what we could have done to prevent something or what we could have improved on to ensure things dont go awry or sad. We realize that the signs were staring straight at us but did not see them until everything's over. Maybe that's how life works. If we were to know how it would turn out, then maybe it would repel the wonder of it all....And then it comes to the issue of fate or coincidence. it becomes more heart wrenching if everythin coincidental, we tie it or attribute it to fate. the fact that you HAPPEN not to work this weekend, the fact you HAPPEN to go to work late. The fact that you changed plans at the last minute...and you realize the whole pattern that gears us together to that one particular, significant event..
Life is full of surprises, be it happy or sad, good or bad. We have to take it with a pinch of salt as it goes along...and most of all, remember our devotion to Him.
I learnt something over the weekend from my dad. He told us that there are 5 types of love...in order of importance.
1) Love for Allah
2) Love for both our parents
3) Love for what we do
4) Love in seeking knowledge
5) Love for our partner
We have to realize that we put so much emphasis on our relationships (BGR/spouse) that when it turns out not the way we expect it, we feel crushed and that life is unfair and maybe...its not worth living. But we forget that we still have for more 'loves' with us and even if someone leaves us, good or bad, we should pick ourselves up and get over it coz it shouldnt control our lives. Its easier said den done...coz we all go through it perhaps once before...
