IS LIFE FAIR?

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM

Do you think life is fair?

"Life is not fair. Get used to it."

- Bill Gates

Even Bill Gates, the current chairman of Microsoft, the world's largest personal-computer software company, said that life isn't fair. Well unfortunately, I'm not Bill Gates and so are you (unless you are actually Bill Gates. OMG give me a shoutout please!). Anyway, just like the title represents, a question (?) , in this post I would like to ask you readers several questions on two things about life and you will decide yourself whether life is fair or the other way around. Shall we begin?

No.1. In relationship. Do you believe in second/third/fourth... chances? You might just say yes because either you still insanely in love with your ex or you're the one who made mistakes and wanted another chance. True? So, is it fair to others who probably had waited for their first chance ever to be with that particular person? It doesn't sound fair is it? However, even God give us a lot of chances, why can't we give our ex another chance? 

No.2. Friendship. A kind a boat that will never sink. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree myself. It's not that friendship will never ends, because somehow, some friendship will someday. To me, friendship is (F)orgiving one another, (R)especting each other, perhaps having the same (I)nterest on things, understand each other (E) motianally, (N)urturing one another, (D)epending on each other, (S)haring secrets together, (H)onest to each other, (I)rreplaceable, and (P)riceless. However, what if something goes wrong in the friendship? What if there's a huge misunderstanding? Because I always hear some (or a few) Malaysian say something like this;

"Walau 1000 kali buat baik & hanya satu kali buat kesilapan, satu kesilapan tu yang orang akan ingat"

Does that seem fair? Of course you will tend to forgive and perhaps forget about the mistakes done by your friends. But you will certainly act at least 5% differently toward your friends, just because of that one mistake. Perhaps you will feel a bit insecure or even have doubts on your friends too. True? But, is it fair? I mean, what ever happened to all the 1000 (more or less) things your friends had done for you and what you had done for your friends? Even worse, just because of that one mistake, some of us aren't even friends anymore. In fact, we're like strangers. Is it fair to yourself? Is it fair to your friend who made the mistakes? What ever happened to "everyone make mistakes" and "people deserve a second chance" ? And is it fair to the memories you and your friends shared together?

Oh and I think I know one thing that you think is not fair in life. Do you ever wonder why something happened to you on that particular day? Things that make you say "Why does this have to happen to me today?" or "Why doesn't it happening to someone else? Why me?"...or things that make you feel that you're a bad luck?? Well. I bet you have wondered like this at least once. Unfortunately, you need to S T O P.

"Cakap senang lah. Cuba kena apa aku kena. Baru kau tau camne aku rasa."

Okay fair enough. If I'm in your shoes, I can never handle the things that you've been through. Just like you can't also handle the things that I've been through. Why? Because the only person that can handle what they've been through are theirselves. That's why I can never handle your situation or anyone else's situation and you or anyone else can't handle mine. But at least, you should try to stop wondering like that. Why? Because Allah works in all kinds of ways. We may have our plans, but nothing is better than what Allah had planned for us. Maybe today is just not our day. We never know how tomorrow will look like. Allah does.


And this is my last question:

#LOVE NEVER RETURN

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM

Hello there October. We're almost at the end of 2013 already. Time passes by so fast isn't it? NO! Time moves constantly since it exists. We're the ones who keep wasting our time that we made it look as if it had moved so fast. And as time passes by, people start to move on with their lives. People start to meet and make new friends and create new memories. But whatever happened to our old memories? Well. It stays there. Some hoping that the memories will remain in their minds and hearts forever, while others hoping to forget about their past.


Anyway, talking about moving on and about the past, have you ever thought about the things you wish you have told to someone before you moved on? For example, to your ex perhaps? After a huge fight and a break up maybe? See. I made a lyric on things that I wish I have said to my ex before the word "goodbye". Do read. Maybe you also wanted to say the same thing after all. Enjoy.

NEVER RETURN

Verse 1

You promised me, you'll never leave

But now you're gone

I should have known, I shouldn't believed

The lies you told

You broke my heart, you broke the trust

I gave before

We could have had, it all but you

Just let it go

Chorus

Now that our story ends, the love we shared

Had burned into ashes

There is no more turning back

Our love had tumbled down

Now is just too little too late, our memories

Had shattered into pieces

You should just go away and never return

Never return

Verse 2

You used to say, that you will stay

But now I know

I'm just a game, for you to play

Like your childhood toys

I felt the pain, the fire the flame

But now I'm done

You had your chance, you blew it and

Now I'm moving on

Cause

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I don't want to see your face again

Not even your shadow

Not even a glance

You said that you would treat me right

But now it all ends

And my tears had dried

Chorus

Cause now that our story ends, the love we shared

Had burned into ashes

There is no more turning back

Our love had tumbled down

Now is just too little too late, our memories

Had shattered into pieces

You should just go away and never return

Never return

Never return

Goodbye.
