Dark chocolate days

There are things we read this week that left us confused, perhaps a touch of ignorance portrayed in humaneness which perhaps we swallowed down with some tea and an afternoon chuckle, then there are other things in contradiction to the former that has slowly showcased a revolutionary shift towards pluralism and self-expression. The need for balance between modernity and faith has found a platform and is being entertained because of a lack of fairness and good leaders. Had faith anything to do with anything we would have hoped our life to be grounded in it and we would have ousted leaders for beneficial humane change threaded in traditional cultural religious standards instead of westernized ones. Over time, not even chocolate cake will take away the after taste of that transition. 

But let me not ponder to far off politically as when moulded into context why care about the next, right? We live our life in isolation and since it happens everyday lets leave alone the nascency saga's, grandiose weddings, rare tornadron days, and rather choose selfishness just this once.

On the topic of selfishness, if we ever wanted to let a loved one know how we feel but we held back because of circumstances that prevailed, walked away finding some false hope like a little stumble which we let slip and decided that happiness of the other was more important, then we did the right thing, scoring one for kindness. Too much of our life we spend saying things to others (whom we love) and then when everything is okay, we wonder if we could have saved the harsh words. It is better to let something be, silently, to allow the ones we love to live choke free and happily. It is not a matter what we want that it is important but rather understanding that we can't have everything our way and just letting go off the unnecessary minors once in a while allows the inklings of goodness to stick around.

Moving on, it's Mother's day on Sunday and while I tried hard to be with mines this weekend, circumstances have it that I will be spending another weekend without my loved ones. For those of you who have your mother around or just your family members for that matter, embrace them, love them, appreciate them and know that you're really fortunate. After all, you could be in my position, alone most of the time and when weekends come around, it is only your patience that keeps you sane on what seems like never-ending dark chocolate days!

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَ‌ٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٧٩

79 Do they not see the birds held (flying) in the midst of the sky? None holds them but Allah [none gave them the ability to fly but Allah]. Verily, in this are clear Ayat (proofs and signs) for people who believe (in the Oneness of Allah). [Surah an Nahl]

Have a great weekend!
