Reserve versus expose

Sometimes it is very difficult to decide whether to pore our heart out or to reserve. A lot of people can't express how they feel. Men, particularly Asian men, are very reserve. Men like o bottle up what they feel inside themselves. Plus men don't cry. This make men look macho, yes, but it also mean their life span is shorter. Generally men die at younger age than women.

We don't have to say how we feel but more importantly show them. Your kids would know whether you love them or not from your actions. No matter how much money you give them, it's your quality time with them that counts. A teacher can be very strict with her students but if she give her best shot to make her students understand, they know she love them. It is as simple as that.

If you have a problem, try to talk to Allah first. Or to your god if you are not a muslim. No matter to whom you pray to, Allah will always listen for Allah is most gracious. Learn to trust Allah more than your friends for friends sometimes betray us. Just wait for Allah's answer. It will come in many forms. You will feel it in your heart.

No matter what is our religion, creed, believe, race, we should live in harmony with each other. That's what Prophet Muhammad teach. One day he paid a visit to his neighbor that always throw rubbish to him just because suddenly that guy stop throwing for a few days already. Prophet Muhammad wanted to find out if he was in trouble. Prophet Muhammad found out that the guy was sick, hence that explain why he stop throwing rubbish for a few days. Prophet Muhammad kindness has touched the guy's heart so much that you can guess what happen next.

I hope we can throw away all the black points in our heart and learn to live in harmony. Like the scenery in this picture, the big tree and even the small scrubs produces flowers for everybody to enjoy. Such harmonious life. It has to start with ourselves.
