I was listening to RIA 89.7FM online while doing my work..And they had a topic open for discussion in which it left an impact on my freshie brains..Appreciation or bersyukur as said in Malay..is the topic today..Are we being appreciative - men & ladies, in every aspect of our lives? A quote from our Prophet Muhammad's Islamic history...he was brought to over to see HELL by Jibrail..and surprisingly he saw a lot of women being punished by the Almighty..why? because they have no appreciation in their life, tidak bersyukur with what was bestowed upon them from Allah.. but that does not mean women are the most unappreciative species,its juz that they are more vulnerable to be like dat..
Men too can be unappreciative plus ego..but mainly each and everyone of us, let us appreciate what we have now,and not hope for something which might be beyond our reach..what ever we enjoy now,we achieved and consuming and enjoying now, is enough because there might be other who might not be getting what we are having..example of people who dun realli feel glad and thankful for what they have can be those who can't bear to see other's achievement..like a neighbour seeing the other neighbour buying new furniture,new jewellery set,new car, felt threaten and wish to have much better...begged husband,begged parents, juz to satisfy their desire to be better than their supposed opponents..why go all the way? what satisfaction can there be? we have to be thankful for who we are,where we came from and what we are having right now..
It is a disadvantage to oneself if we let our desire control our brains..we can be a failure in life without realising it..but still some guys during the discussion blames ladadies for not being thankful and appreciative..but I believe, guys play an important role too, in order to guide these ladies to the path that is blessed by Allah..in context to a family with a wife who is not appreciative for example, it is the duty of the husband to educate her, to instill the moral values in her so as to prevent her from being unappreciative..teach her how to be thankful in life and not yearn for something that does not lasts..with God's will, life will be much better with everyone living happily and contented with the simplicity and harmonious life that they are leading.. in a bigger context, look at the world, why is there war? Its due to greed, to expand their supreme powers over other countries, to get what they had wanted in life that is to gain more stuffs like raw materials so that they can benefit for themselves...if only such people learn to appreciate what they have..and understand's other's plights,thankful for where they have stood among those unfortunate ones, I am sure this world, too can be a happy and peaceful one..world peace is hence attained..
I realised how unappreciative I have been..how much at times i have great expectations over several matters and fret when things didn't work out well...I am now trying to be appreciative for what I have in my life,in my hands...appreciate them while you still can..coz when its gone..you might regret not to have done it before..juz imagine if someone appreciates every little stuffs u do...thank you for all those things u do for them..even menial ones, u feel happy right? so why must we always wait for others to appreciate us? we also shuld appreciate others and together we all can lead a life full of appreciation..everyone is happy and smile will always be on our face..spread it on to others..and i appreciate your time for reading my blog..thanks.. =)
