Making a mark in world: Stand up

I'm shocked by the ignorance...check out this link, particularly the comments after the article:
The Truth About Muslims in America

So what are we going to do?
...but before that, do you care at all this is happening?
Are you just going to sit there, yapping away about all the injustices of the world, declining to vote because you think all politicians are doomed to hell anyway and just go about your life, distancing yourself from the world just because you can't stand it?
Please, go away.
You don't earn the right to do anything because you stand up for nothing.
You are like a balloon, big but just full of air. You burst when provoked, produce a loud bang but then there is nothing. It's like you never existed.

Everyone keeps talking
They promise you everything
But they don't mean anything

You're just satisfied with what you have now, thinking that "yeah, that's enough" and never even tried to do something more because you're too satisfied and proud of who and what you are now?
Or if you are affected by the events, you just give it a thought for 2 seconds or so and then revert back to your daily lives?
Or if you're more than that, you're sad and determined to do something about it but then you take a step back, look at the bumpy road ahead and say to yourself, "can I do it? Is it my destiny? Maybe other people who are better than me will come and do it..." after which you just shrug your shoulders, "Ah, well..." and then walk away without a second thought. All the time thinking that you've made the right decision.

Move your hands in circles
Keeping me hypnotized
The power behind your eyes
Move around your bedroom cursing the naked sky
You should be here tonight
But you stay alone and cry

...sorry to burst your bubble but you're dead wrong.
If you can see, you can do something. If you can talk, then you can do something. If you can walk, then you should do something.

C'mon, get real. Of course there are people better than you. MAYBE they'll do the job better but are you just going to sit around and wait? What if the better person came but it was already too late to do anything?
During that that time, who'll take blame? Who'll shoulder the responsibility of a lost chance?

Maybe you're thinking, why am I so angry anyway?
I am surprised and a bit scared of the ignorance plaguing the world in general (muslims and non-muslims alike).
The most dangerous thing is a wannabe hero that thinks he knows everything but in fact know only distorted truths.
A hero that live only for the masses. Feeding the fear because that is what makes them heroes.
Truth have no value because it'll give no profit or gain.
I keep thinking, what times are we living in now?
And could it be worse in the future?
Maybe, if the young generation now are still ignorant and have no desire to see truth triumph.
Remember: keeping silent won't make the problem go away.
Don't undermine your own ability.
If you believe, that alone would give you strength to go on.

Say goodbye, these days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need is some relief
Through these hard times
(whoa) There's something missing
(Oh whoa) You'll never feel it but you
(Oh whoa) You're gonna feel it when it's gone
When it's gone

Don't let anyone make a fool of you. If you do nothing, they'll think it's ok. Don't just be patient and hold on. Fight!
...and then hold on. Hold on with all your might.

Some of you may think, "Ah, another with their heads in the clouds."
I am not a dreamer.
I just believe.

Unrequited love is love incomplete

Lyrics | Kukatakan Dengan Indah lyrics

This song is for the broken and lost...
They fall in and out of love so hard that they never knew what hit them. All they know is that they are left with an ache in their hearts and a confused feeling.

These people are like innocent prisoners trapped in an underground dungeon; alone, afraid and forgotten.When they were finally released from the trappings of love, they walked out with a slight limp and shading their eyes from the glares of the sun they hadn't seen in years. Freedom is now foreign to them, they do not know what to do with it. Looking down the long road ahead, they know that they have to let go and start again. Praying incessantly that they wouldn't fall into the dark dungeon again...

Who are the people responsible for sentencing these poor souls to prison? Rather, they are more like irresponsible people. These people do not realize that their words and actions carry weight.They don't mean to make you love them, it's just something they do. They dance through life day by day, never realizing that they are trampling on the lives of others. It is not like they want to be like that. As they say, ignorance is bliss. What you don't know won't hurt you. When they finally realized what they've done, it is often too late. The other is already broken.

For me, ignorance is not an excuse. You can't say simply, "Oh, I didn't mean it that way" or "So sorry, didn't realize you felt that way". The minute you say that, you are saying that the other party is a poor judge of the situation.You got to respect others. Be responsible. Please do not start something you know you can't finish. Life is not a simple game. You can't lose and start over. Surely, if it is then the game would have been banned right now, considering how many lives it had claimed under the name of love.

I think it is hard for someone to not notice that somebody is vying for their hearts. As Dr Fadzilah Kamsah once said, "If someone loves you, you'll know". If you know that someone is waiting for you, please do not let them wait forever. Who are you to make them wait? You think you're that great, huh? Let them go so that could let you go too. Often people don't know what to do so they just let the people who love them be, never giving an indication of what the true situation is. They hide under the excuse, "I don't want to hurt him/her" or "Maybe if I ignore him/her long enough, they'll forget."
So immature. So unrealistic. You're only making it worse.
Like the character in Jerry Maguire, "If you don't love her, you got to tell her".

Ultimately, you are not truthful. You are not to be trusted with something so precious like a heart anymore. You just can't handle the enormity of the task.
Like I always say, a heart is essentially an amanah. If you can't uphold the amanah, you should not take it in the first place or you would have to answer for it in the afterlife.

But, my friend, if you really did not realize that someone loves you, then it is another story. If it is not intentional, then it is okay. It is still not right, but just okay. But bear in mind that once you realize it, you have to make a decision: to accept or not. Either way, you should do it gently and with respect. Then only you are worthy of love.

Now I think I know why some people hide their feelings. They're afraid they'll be rejected, they're afraid that they'll look stupid [ya..I know this part...]. For me the saying "It is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all" is bull. I reject it. Rather, for me this quote summarizes it beautifully:
"Love is like playing a deck of cards. If the other person knows what card you're holding, then they control how the game will end"

Kosong kontang

Slm
...terasa seperti tidak ada apa-apa. Kosong.
Nak bercakap pun, seperti tiada apa yg bagus untuk dikongsikan.

..perasaan kosong bukanlah sesuatu yang pelik. Banyak je yang berperasaan serupa.

So kenapa la tulis kan? Habiskan masa saja.
Kosong, tapi semacam ada rasa untuk diisi dengan sesuatu.

Rasa hati yang kosong menandakan jiwa yang kontang jugakah?
Seperti bumi yang dilimpahi sinar matahari terlalu lama hingga merekah tanahnya. Sikit saja diusik, tanah itu roboh kerana ia rapuh.

Kenapa mencari jauh-jauh untuk simbahan rahmat yang menyejukkan?
Tiada ditempat lain.
Cuma,
Dongaklah keatas, tadahlah tangan.
Itu saja.
