It is already August and I wonder in amazement how fast time passes. I see a baby who has now started walking, I see holiday plans made months ago materialised, and I just came to know that the Hungry Ghost Festival this year is coming to end. I am now in Dubai, stranded in my hotel room for two days as it’s Ramadhan and over 40 degrees Celcius outside. Don’t get me wrong as it is my personal choice to stay indoor and not to disturb the peacefulness of observing the holy month with my worldly habits.
With the gift of Internet connection, it’s quite natural to immerse yourself into Facebook and MSN. It’s really a treat when people of your interest surf up and appear on your laptop screen. What’s more to ask for when meaningful and interesting conversations do take place. Life is so digitally driven these days and I wonder whether humanity able to reverse it.
I just realised that, our very existence has a lot of influence on other people whether we like it or not, whether we know it or not. Hence, it’s a moral obligation to try to think and cherish one another. I did such a gesture of treating my relatives to a lunch when I was back in KL. But that wasn’t enough. I may have neglected more people whom I was close with. Well, I hope to live to each day without anyone feeling that I have abandoned them. It’ll be my least of an intention and of course, I hope that I could feel braver each time in expressing those feelings.
I have another hope after witnessing a wonderful photo album on Facebook. May this world be blessed with enough wealth, trickle down to reach the very people who needs it.
