Love Not Hate

LOVE is a very simple and straightforward word, yet people struggle to live by its means. We could easily say out ‘I love you’, but do we really mean it? Do you really “act” on the LOVE, or just merely speaking it because it’s  convenient or follow what people are saying only? Does your behaviour and attitude justify that you truly put your heart on me, or is it just some blanket statement as useless as that piles of face masks abandoned on the roadside?
In recent days, there have been a lot of “eventful” happenings around the world. First, the global George Floyd horrible homicide by brutal police force; next, our former Miss Universe Malaysia’s mindless, insensitive comment about this incident; then, the sudden spikes of horrendous drink-driving accidents going around in Malaysia. More and more negativity and selfishness spread around even faster than the pandemic nowadays. It is awful and downright disgusting.
We all live in a big community that emphasizes strong interdependence and more kindness towards each other could actually lead to a morally and ethically sustainable world. Every single one of you will actually be happy. Think about it. Not everything has to come to one end suffering while the other end is enjoying. All of us will experience both ends. As long we stand together, face the same adversity and fight against the monster all in one, we are acting as decent human beings and we are living right, humble and proud. Leave no regret by acting justifiably towards  others. Treat people like how you want to be treated. Simple annotation yet how many people could actually live by it? Not much.

Love against hate. It sounds hopeful, some might think it’s unpractical; but it is workable and we can all do it by starting to do simple acts. Care the people around you. Ask how they are doing. Sincerely continue the conversation. A random simple act could really change this world of ours. I am not kidding you. Butterfly effect does exist in our world, when we start to love and embrace each other. Not by throwing hate comments and remarks to each other, we can actually have a great world that we dream of. Do your part and that is all it needs to be the change.

New Injection of Life

  Imagine sitting on the cold hard floor alone in living room. No furniture at all but a lonely table perking up in the middle of it.  There is just emptiness and more emptiness growing inside you. No other sound except the whirring sound coming from your spinning ceiling fan.             I am that person. I am left alone to discover this new, hectic urbanized life.             Moving out from my hometown, I came to this new city of Kuala Lumpur with the hope of jumping into this pot of hustling and bustling people. As the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is indeed full of skyscrapers, luxury cars and well-dressed people in all-time.                 I am still experiencing culture shock -- wearing just a pair of slippers and pajamas-like clothes to just eat the dinner downstairs from my condo. My Ipoh-KL friends are in awe that I dare to dress ...
