Almost Settling Down

My life went from almost settling down to all the uncertainty in the world.

And I hate uncertainty. 

Ignorance.

No, it is definitely not bliss.
But yet, so many of us still choose to remain so.
With our "don't care" attitude.
With our "buat tak tau" attitude.

What can I say?
I'm guilty of being like that as well. Sometimes. Most of the time.

Yes, we know.
Yes, we are aware.
Yes, we play our part in ensuring we do not contribute to the ongoing mess and havoc.
Yet what are we doing about it?

We standby and watch as things go from bad to worse.
We comment and sneer on social media.
We get sick of the endless loop of stupidity and injustice.
Yet we tolerate, tolerate, and tolerate over and over again.

Maybe we are able to justify our lack of action.
Maybe we'll just wait till someone else does something about it.
Maybe we are afraid that it would backfire and drag us down as well.
Yet all this does not make it okay.

Though with good intention, there is no confidence that we are able to make things even a little better.

The political scene in our country just makes me so sad.

Quoted from one of her facebook posts:

Tonight, before I go to sleep, I pray for my country.I pray that tolerance will reign over bigotry. I pray that moderation will reign over extremism. I pray that love will reign over hatred. I pray for the unity of this nation. I pray for a better Malaysia. God bless Malaysia.

- Yeo Bee Yin

I really really really wish things will get better, but it looks like it's only downhill from here.

It sickens us,
It pains us,
It saddens us to see all this happening.
Yet what can we do about it?

There's just so much we can do.

Oh, the feels of this song...

Telling the story oh so well...

Especially the chorus. Oh you have to give this a chance until you at least reach the chorus.
Happy listening. My current loop ~





Come to think about it, this is sort of like Social Penetration Theory's theme song. Lol. Too much studying Communication Theory I guess.

We Complement Each Other ♥

In Malay:

"Hawa dijadikan dari rusuk Adam
dan bukan dari kepalanya untuk dijunjung,
bukan pula dari kakinya untuk dijadikan pengalas
tetapi adalah dari sisinya untuk dijadikan teman hidup,
dekat dengan lenganya untuk dilindungi,
dan dekat dengan hatinya untuk dicintai."

In English:

"Eve was made of a rib out of the side of Adam;
not made out of his head to rule over him,
nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him,
but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected,
and near his heart to be beloved."

Somehow the Malay version speaks to me more. Love this so much!
