Poorer or Richer ?

I was just walking back from my Zuhur prayer when I noticed a big MPV parked nearby a telephone booth. Man, that guy must be rich as I said to myself. Then, I started to think. Is he really rich?

Okay imagine this. A man with no debt and a man with a debt. So tell me which person is richer? Certainly not the one with a debt. Well, logical thinking I suppose. Then, try to think like this. Scene A, a man with just-okay type of house, got no car but under no obligation to pay for debt. Scene B, a man with gigantic house, top-notch cars and yet have thousands of dollar debt in his account. So tell me again, who is richer? Do you get what I mean?

Well, we live in society that visually appeared better and more comfortable. In fact, we are actually living in a place where we cannot afford and drive a car that we still pay on monthly basis and still proud about it yet we know all those things are not ours . Luxury does not come cheap after all.

Boycott : Is it gonna work?

Yes! Definitely. Well, it depends on how strong your intention to boycott a certain product. If you are not strong enough to resist the temptation of using or buying or consuming it, then I suggest you just forget the whole thing. Otherwise you will make a fool of yourself driving your action to something your heart could not handle.

Let's talk about the muslim boycott. We try to boycott certain Israelis based products. Is not that these product is good. It is just that the heart of muslim is not that strong enough to resist those lucrative products. Some product is even thought essential to life. Essential? What? Essential? Well try addicted. We are so obsessed, so addicted to certain product that by not having those products we think that we cannot live and we cannot get on with our life. Rubbish!

Or maybe just plain ignorant. If you cannot start boycotting all products then try one. Just one product. It can make a difference. It works! You won't know unless you try.

Gaza

It's been a very long time since my last post. This just struck me. How busy I was with my whole life. THIS, has no end. Okay, enough, enough.

Right now I want to talk about Gaza. Did someone know what happen to Gaza people right now? Seems like all media has stopped delivering news about Gaza. I mean, lately there is not a single news about Gaza. Did clock suddenly stop over there or do they have suddenly agreed to sign treaty for peace. Who knows? Why? Because we rely much on western mass media to inform us. Too much reliable on them.

I just watched a video entitled Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land. It is an eye opener. A mind blowing, jaw dropping video about Gaza. Haven't watch the entire video though. But it explains a lot about the media intervention and filtering so that the news bring beneficial to the oppressor which is Israelis.

I mean how can people be blinded by such lies. Israeli being attacked! What a joke! Ugh.. that is just a total crap. Real crap!
