Joy and Sorrow...

... the excerpt from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran: ON JOY and SORROW

Then a woman said, "Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow."

And he answered:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.

Shut UP!

naper org selalu tanya soalan bodoh tanpa memikirkan perasaan org yang ditanya? aku cukup bosan nak melayan pertanyaan-pertanyaan mindless camtu... bukannya depa nak tau jawapan sebenar pun. tak ke lebih berpekdah kalau suara yang Allah berikan tu digunakan untuk mengaji ke, laung azan ke, volunteer mengajar tuisyen ke.... tak ke lagi berguna kalau akal yang Tuhan berikan tu digunakan bila nak bertanya soalan, jangan asyik nak tanya ikut sedap mulut jer... kang satu hari ko tanya tak kena mood org yang ditanya, free-free je dapat penampor ke... mau tak pasal-pasal je putus sahabat... tak payah la aku nak elaborate panjang2 soalan2 buduh apa yang org pernah tanya kat aku... kalau betul korang ada akal, gunakan akal tu... pikir balik soalan2 yang korang pernah ajukan pada sesiapa je, tak semestinya yang korang tanya pada aku... nilai balik, betul ke korang nak tau, atau stakat nak menyibuk jer... betul ke soalan tu ada substance, atau stakat omong2 kosong jer... i mean, the simplest question pun leh menyakitkan hati org yang ditanya... kalau dia tak jawab, nanti konon-kononnya kecik la ati korang... kalau dia jawab sarcastically pun, maka berlakulah pengurangan isipadu hati korang tu jugak... tapi pernah ke korang pikir soalan yang korang tanya tu, so-called "innocent" sangat ke?! Ati korang je ke yang nak kena jaga, hati aku korang tak pedulik?! korang je ke yang ada perasaan? korang je ke yang manusia? abihtu ko ingat aku nih batu ke yang takde perasaan, yang tak reti-reti sakit ati, menyampah, muak?

kesimpulannya.... itu pun aku kena bagitau ke? kata ada akal...
