I can blog about so many other things, but I choose to blog about patience. Iāve been feeling restless and impatient. If I think about the concept of patience, perhaps I can overcome this impatience. I suppose many things couldāve happened today. Instead, I chose to stay behind at home, went out swimming for a bit, otherwise read the Quran since I havenāt really picked it up since Ramadan. For the whole day, I felt as if the whole world had forgotten about me. However, when I think back to it, I think it was somewhat a mercy for me to taken out of the world where I can think about things that truly matters to me. Iāve made my complaints, Iāve made my ammends. Whatever I chose to say I said from my heart.
So back to this concept of patience. It is in human nature that we want instant results. I often think about planting a seed ā you plant a seed, and you wait and wait and wait and nothing never ever grows. Then one day, when you come back from work, from school whenever, you found something germinating. I will possibly go on and praise God almighty for performing a miracle, however the science-hardcore purists (*cough* I mean athiests) will slap me at the back of the head and tell me about the science behind germination. That is the crux of it all. Sometimes you just have to plant the seed and let the plant grow. You canāt hurry it up. The more you hurry it up (by over-feeding it, by over-watering it, by digging the seed from the ground), the more likely you will kill it. I guess there are a lot of wisdom behind the way the world functions. In this day and age of internet broadband where the other side of the world is just a click away, we are conditioned to become impatient. I am of no exception.
I see that this is the first time Iāve dedicated an entire post to patience but it will not be the end of it. I shall return to this topic when I have wiser words.
