I was collecting my 1-week-in-the-sun-til-almost-faded clothes when I noticed d azan for the nearby mosque reaching my ears. Dat's weird, I thought. I rarely notice it. Kot2 sy dah lama ngat duk kat Trgnu. But then, I start thinking. Why da heck do non-Muslims hate d "noise" of d azan? Why do many Malay kampung kids make fun of d Chinese language in a rude manner? Why do we perceive d Hindu act of piercing themselves & carrying d kavadi as crazy?
Simple. We misunderstand. Sure, many ppl can say "We nid tolerance la! No nid lengthy understanding!" Ah....but then, d justification is simple. Toleransi semata-mata tanpa penjelasan boleh, tetapi sukar dibentuk. Kalau kita dh fhm nape sorang buat cam tu, takyah le nk srh kita wat mnde2. Mmg dh boleh fikir ngan rasional nk terima ke tak.
Understand dat d azan is a Muslim call to prayer. U/stand dat each race has its own unique language, not weird sounding gibberish u cn make fun of. U/stand dat as painful/weird/crazy as it may seem to you, people are free to practice their beliefs. In fact, why not take d opportunity to learn more about other cultures? Kalau cam tu, senang je nk tgk apa yg rasional & apa yg tak.
If only our ministers u/stand d needs & whims of the public. If only those fat asses sitting in expensive cars & shaping d country's future realise dat selfish greed brings notin after death. Pls la u/stand d simple fact dat yr personal wealth only lasts til yr death. Improvements to d society's welfare will continue for generations. Unfortunately, dey all only seem 2
Wat else can I say? Haiz....if only u could u/stand my feelings....
