1. Keheningan malam ini bagaikan ada kelainan dari sebelumnya. Ketenangandi dalam muhasabah dan mutabaah ini berbeza, mungkin didorong oleh rasa kekesalan dan kesalahan yang menebal.
2. The serene faces of sleeping children invokes feelings of loving,care and concern for their welfare, for their future, for their iman and self-development.
3. Not at this time the concerns for making the next million, of closing the x mn deal, of taking the soulless business to the next level. At the core of the human soul, there is no place for wealth, money, much less for the insane amounts that are placed into the hands of the undeserving.
4. This is not misplaced zuhud. True that the world needs money and wealth, but that is not the overriding purpose of life, of living and of creation. Those who say money is not everything does not know where to shop, so the quote goes. But which shop sells love, care and concern? Fake, temporal ones maybe. Redlight districts sell manifestations of love, but not the innermost core of love.
5. Wealth, funds, money are not the center of life. People are. Connections are. Faith is. How empty life seems to be when all we care about is what our bank balance is at the end of the day. At life's end, when the terminal arrives, no shop sells preparations to move to 'the next level'. Healthcare to extend life maybe, but perhaps not so much the quality of life. The dependence is above all, beyond everything, is the biggest gift of all, the gift of mercy, living and concern.
6. Lose this priority, and we're screwed. Damn right, we're all screwed.
