My unpublished blog..30th Jan 06
Somehow, I like this feeling. Isolation. It may not be as happy and happening as being with someone, but at least I know I feel nice inside. Am I selfish to do so?
So far im keeping myself occupied..with werk and thoughts. With sleep and activity.. Just had Rehlatul Iman last Monday night with the NUS Muslim Society. There were a lot of people, kidz and gals..hahaha..guys? U got quite a bunch but as usual..the GENG made an impact. Hahaha..somehow I feel at times..people get so pissed with us. Sometimes..i feel the look down on us..but somehow..we feel that its natural for us to be like that when we are together! Imagine what 4 people can do in an organization. Tunggak Harapan, Penggerak Wawasan eh?? (Pillar of hope..engine of dreams..i think!) Hahaha..
So we come to this topic of mine…Child-like vs. Immature. What is defined as immature in the first place? Well..kids usually THINK they are mature. So, what is mature? I think we can fight till the cows come home and yet, we will never reach a concrete solution where everyone is agreeable. So here I am..in my blog..offering my stand. Rebut me if you want but it’s just my offering so no offence ok?
In my humblest opinion, I think maturity refers to a state of logical reasoning that a persons mind can achieve. It comes through, I feel, experience, knowledge and to an extent..the persons’ innate character. What is immaturity then? I would want to be able to say, ‘the direct opposite’ but I cant say it too..cos my very definition of maturity is not completive. I would say..immaturity lies in the ability of a person to reason and control his/ her emotions. Somehow, it is usually linked to age but there are times where this rule of thumb doesn’t hold. Like for example..in the bus just now. There were a group of people having an extremely loud conversation..laughing loudly at jokes which commonly sounds funny to them. At one instance, I knew they were either from a secondary school level or some JC kid..and wallah..i was right!! They were wearing HWJC pants and skirts.
The point I am bringing across here is not that I am some great shrink but hey..image really reflects a bit of how your character is deep inside. Somehow I feel, the best way to judge a person..(ur not supposed to do it anyway!!) is during an acid test. If u want to do it..observe a person at his weakest, at the most challenging and opportune moment BUT never fall into the trap of judging on just one bad account. F*%$ ups happen all the time and it is never fair to judge one person on one account only. Which is why..judging is never a human job because we never know what the person does at all times..what he’s thinking and what were his intentions. Human laws are not as perfect as those of the Divine but sometimes..we just have to make do with the BEST knowledge at the point of time.
Which brings me to another part..INTENTIONS. Am I doing things based on intentions or is it just by some freak accident. (Leave fate out of this..it is supposed to be an after death thingy in my belief..) You know how u can somehow sail through life not knowing where you are heading towards..we plan..god decides. But do we still plan? As they say..’fail to plan=plan to fail.’
May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...

btw, sometimes most of the things you end up doing starts off as accidents, but in the end wat matters is ur intentions in the whole time u did the thing and what exoerience u get out of it.
