Love Life
Death.That word invokes emotions and memories that are hard to ignore. How does one deal with it? At some point or another we will have to deal with this fact of life and we realise it...but it doesn't make the process any easier.
I have always wondered, why do we die? Is it just the normal culmination of your biological life and the natural deterioration of your body's organic matter, or is there a significance behind it? Do we die just to make way for the next generation?
Here's a thought:
Imagine a single carbon molecule in your body and then imagine the assimilation of that same carbon molecule into the earth when you are buried after you die...this molecule could then possibly be absorbed by a tree into its molecular structure...which in turn would be used to create a fruit from the tree in a bid to reproduce itself...This fruit would then be eaten by another human being and almost magically, a piece of you exists in another human being even months after your own death. All life forms are connected in ways that i am only beginning to fanthom.
Imagine that scenario, and then think about how that carbon molecule got into your body in the first place...from somewhere else...possibly given to you in your mother's womb which she in turn got from somewhere else...its an endless cycle that constantly uses the finite amount of matter contained in the universe to generate a amazingly varied amount of life forms.

Its a miracle...and rather ironic actually... Death is actually the celebration of the continuation of Life...
All beings are created with a specific life span (unless you believe that rocks are alive) after that Allah wills that you return your corporeal form to the central organic matter deposit...Mother Nature, from where it came from so that other life forms can benefit from the deposit as well. This system is complex beyond imagination but at the same time absolutely beautiful in its simplicity...

Dear Boss/Leader/Omnipotent Being in The Great Big Heavenly Place Where Good People Go,
If you are reading this, I think i understand now :-) I know it took me a while but i'm getting there...A tad slow when it comes to these things, as my friends will attest :-)

Happy
I'm happy...
IIU 4 (Blues, Azahan and me) gang raped MMU in the finals of GSD ladies and gentlemen. Despite a surprise case and some mad scrambling of ideas and speaker positions. IIU won in style...A 7-0 decision and the best speaker prize won by Blues (Who deserved to be crowned king that night) I had fantastic teammates who carried me through the rounds and helped me get my momentum back...Thanks guys!!
Prize monay...and lots of it, a great tournament, i got some of my rust scrubbed off and i'm just waiting for the next tournament. But best of all...a message was sent, Mafia style, to the people of MMU... If you still want to field senior debators who are probably taking their third masters by now (read: Logan and the rest of the MMU seniors who don't seem to want to graduate or leave)...IIU can do it too....and kick you in the rump at the same time.
YOU WILL NEVER KEEP US DOWN!!
IIU VICTOR!!

Life?
It’s amazing sometimes how the actions of one person can affect another individual. One mistake, one slip up, and you just might destroy the emotional makeup of a person and cause that individual endless pain and suffering. One betrayal can cause years of unhappiness and one slip of the tongue can cause immediate anger.
The thought of it compels me to sometimes withdraw and keep to myself...hoping that I will not be at fault if someone gets hurt. I know the feeling...and it isn't nice. But then I realise...withdrawing from your loved ones will also hurt them, and that isn't nice either.
What is a person to do in situations like these? Does he shut himself away? Or does he be the best person he can be and hope for the best? The answer is of course obvious...but why is it soo hard? Nothing much this time guys....just rambling.
