Tomorrow is the first day of 2008.
So goodbye 2007, i will leave u behind.
I'll leave you with memories and experiences that color my world today. Some i hope to remember, but some i wish i could forget.
I am thankful for many things but i do regret some things. But I learn from all things.
So as we stand now at the end, i hope my heart would stop its uneven beating. I am undecided as to how strong i would be in facing 2008. Afraid to step forward but don't want to be left behind. Paralyzed by indecision.
This fear of the unknown is only natural. We are always afraid of things we can't control. But if we do have the power to control our destiny and the challenges that we would face, i think our lives would be unspectacular. Maybe good but definitely not fantastic.
Why?
Well, it's because we are only human. Humans only want what they know. So there are many more possibilities and events that could color our lives but just because we don't know about them, then we wouldn't ask for it. How many times have u heard someone say while contemplating how other people seem to have made better choices than them, "Ah..i wish i could've known.."
Aha! Therein lies the problem: there is no way that we could've known...
So my friends, the best thing is to surrender our destiny to Allah, as only He knows all things, and only He knows what's best for us ;)

Another thing is that in our imperfection, our knowledge is limited. To prove this point, please answer me this simple question(this is only a random question from yours truly hehe) : why do humans (Homo sapiens) have hair only on top of our heads? Why not all over like a gorilla? Yes, we do have hair at other certain parts of the body, but that is only very smooth hair. In the animal world, i think us humans would be laughed at for having only a tuft of hair on the head! so my friends, be humbled, as we don't know all things...
