As i sit on my sofa and stare at my laptop's screen, i pause ... innumerous events passby.... that have all left an indelible mark on me... and as i slowly attempt at comprehending what the future holds for me... i gasp in amazement.... because that is the only emotion that i can feel right now... there is a sense of hope... a sense of excitement... and yes a little bit of dread... i cannot make a "leap" from the known to the unknown... i just have to tread slowly as if in walking on thin ice... wondering whether the next step might actually break it... for i can only hear what goes around me... the creaking sound of my steps... as darkness pervades all around me...
The bygone days teach me little ... but the bigger question remains... Has it prepared me? It is like groping for something in a dense forest shrouded in the nigritude of the night...
So here i am.... endeavoring to utter the thoughts that arise in me...

If there really is hope and "sense of excitement" then how it can be "mundane" discourse.
If it is your literature piece. One word- Vow
If it is to do with reality, then, no. I cannot buy the feelings. Because people tends to forget so much that has been given to them, and focus solely on what they want (irrespectively)
i hope this comment makes sense. i do not have a gmail account, neither wants to open one. Therefore, putting in Asmat's one for processing.
Ok first... i have changed the settings so now you can add ur opinions without registering :)
Coming to your comments about "Mundane Discourse" not being so mundane... hmm... well i think its a matter of opinion really... not necessarily mine but people/readers might think of it as merely rhetoric... some might say its just a rave of a mad person... i leave it to the readers to decide :)
the question i put forth to you is... why DONT you buy these feelings...?? I admit that i wrote in hyperboles and exaggerations... but there was a hidden agenda in it... i wanted it to be vague.. unclear... exactly as i felt while i was writing down the words...
Ok so now i will let you consider the premise behind these "ravings" :)
There comes a point in everyone's lives when you stop and think ... something life-changing is about to happen to you... you feel overwhelmed at its enormity... excited at future prospects yet afraid... afraid because nothing in your life has prepared you for it...
People might claim that they are prepared.... but mind you .. there is a difference between being well-equipped and being prepared...
I think that any life-altering event not only affects all the sundries and mundane things in one's life... but it affects who you really are.... your being... your self
So then tell me how would you feel... i would say it would be a thousand emotions ... :)
You see, i believe in equilibrium. After any movement, any activity, there should be a level of equilibrum achieved. That is to say, that neither excessive height is good neither the excessive low.
"change" is such a wonderful feature, that though it changes the course, but with it brings a different set of parameters which defines equilibrium within that rule.
have you seen, mevlavi rotations /"Sama" (evolved by Molana Rumi) whose one of the book u gifted us.
These rotations (or some call it a dance) have in them, a smoothness, a free flow, an equilibrium yet the grace.
i dont know if i have drifted from the topic, but the only point i want to make is tht there is an inherent ability which Allah has embedded in every human being to face any situation; good, bad or worse. it is now up to him as to how he manages to use the ability.
there are instances where people break down in some (apparently extreme)cases, but there are few who stands high and fast despite everything.
Once one is able to tap that ability, he comes into 'rotation' or the free flow or equilibrium. then nothing can break this motion.yes, there is, or better put, there will be disturbances in this free motion, but it is the quality of equilibrium which will decide how quickly one overcomes the outside factors which have been unleashed- to keep on with the smooth motion.
coming directly to your hidden agenda. whatever be it may. i agree to your distinction of well equipped and well prepared. further i'll only add that nothing in this worldly world is there for a really worry.once the eyes are on the real world, then every thing else (of the world) seems very tiny and minute and less attractive.
However, here i should make it very clear. this does not mean that worldly affairs be given less attention. through the worldly affairs we can knock on the doors of the eternal world.
(have to write more, but now have to rush.. work.. )
