God

I'm surprised with what human have become day by day, we becoming less human and more animalistic, tell me what so human about us? We fights over demesnes, we fights over beliefs, we fights over almost everything even over the smallest things in the world. You said you live in peace what so peace about human nowadays? You live in your comfy house and doesn't care shits about anyone, that's not peace my friend that's selfish. Just because no one terrorize your country doesn't mean you live in peace. Libya, Palestine, Iraq and many more being terrorized everyday over there and what you've been done all this while? Oh ya you're man of peace so you chilling at your bucolic house and having a coffee while watching what's going on? That's what i called animalistic. A lot of us just don't bother what's happening around the world. Just because they are Muslims so it’s their fight not yours? Just because they are Christians so it’s their fight not yours?

Peace doesn't really work that way my friend. If you want peace, you got to make sure your fellow human being live the life as you do, have a proper job, proper shelter to sleep to eat to gather with family and halcyon things.

You said you believe in god, but do you believe in his words? "Oh I’ve commit a lot sins so god doesn't care about me anymore" stupid, god is forgiving always remember that, no matter what the sins you have done just seek for forgiveness, what kind of god wants his children burn in hell ? Unless you stop believing in him. For me there are two types of sins, sins to god and sins to my fellow human beings, if didn't pray, if i drink alcohol or anything relates to god, i will seeks his forgiveness and Insyaallah he will forgives me, another is a sin to your fellow human beings, that's the sins you should beware of, you have to seeks forgiveness directly to the person you commit sins to. You can't seek forgiveness from god when you hurt your fellow human being my friend that just doesn't make any sense right?

so back to the topic for me as a Muslims i learn that Islam clearly prohibits all kinds and forms of aggression and violence against anyone, except in self-defence, Islam also places very high importance on justice, and allows for attackers or invaders and unfair people be punished accordingly, unless they repent before they are brought to justice. At the same time, Islam encourages people to forgive those who have wronged them whenever possible. These are the Surah that proves it

"Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, and do not transgress; for Allah loveth not transgressors." (Surah 2, Verse 190).

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is the One that Heareth and Knoweth (all things)." (Surah 8, Verse 61).

"And if ye do punish them, punish them no worse than they punished you: but if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are patient." (Surah 16, Verse 126).

Not only Islam promotes peace, Christian too but of course i can't say anything on it because i don't want to be wrong so let me just give proves of it

Psalm 34:14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Every other religion promotes peace too, but the main problem nowadays for human being is there are less people who believe in god. They rather pursue their own needs for their own self without thinking about anyone else. There are 3 things or roots of evil in this world and its Gold, Oils and Drugs. And if you combined the first letter of every word you got G.O.D.

You choose which god you worship.

"Be soft , do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

Friendship

Well there are things in life that i regretted doing it and there are things in my life that i glad i done it. For the things that I've done before this there are positives and there are negatives , and for all the positive things that I've done i will make it as guide to lives my remaining life , and for all the negative things that I've done to myself or to people around me, I'm sorry for it. i know there's lot of bad things that I've done to my friends and people around me , and i never say I'm sorry for doing it.

Sometimes i sit and look around me...I'm wondering what kind of person i am? How selfish i am? Even though I've hurt them really bad, they are still around me. They have the courage to hold the bond of friendship even after i screwed them and i don’t even have the courage to say sorry? well let me take my chance here to say I'm sorry for all things that I've done guys , if you're one of my friends and you reading this post right now , I'm sorry alright ? and don't get me wrong alright , it's not that I've done something bad to you guys recently , just felt like saying sorry for all the things that I've done and i didn't noticed that i hurt you guys lah :) same goes to my girlfriend too , I’m sorry ye. It's not wrong to say sorry even if you doesn’t do any mistakes, it's healthy!

Friendship also needs appreciation not just for couples, in life I've told you guys a lot of times , there are 5 things that matters the most in life Your loved ones , Family , Friends , Faith and lastly but not least positive mind. If hold these 5 five things dearly, insyallah your life will be wonderful. Oh yeah i forgot forgiveness. Never keep vengeance on anything it will only make you worst, everyone make mistakes, don't be selfish le your felling is not the only thing that matters in your life, don't say you can live your life without those 6 things.

Ivory

The tusks of an elephant can grow to 17cm in a year and it grows continuously during its life time. Tusks is generally uses by elephant for digging water, salt and roots more than that it also uses to move trees and branches when clearing a path or to mark trees to establish territory and sometimes as weapons.

Just like you as human that commonly has right or left-handed, elephant also are the same, instead of right handed or left-handed elephants are usually right or left-tusked. The dominant tusk is called the master tusk.

Tusks is like a hand for elephant, it’s important for their everyday life just like you as a human being, have you ever imagine a life without your hands? It would be difficult isn’t? Your everyday routine would be difficult and there would be certain things are unable for you to do.

For elephant their tusks is a gift for them, but sadly their tusks is also the main reason why they are heavily hunted. Elephants in both Asia and Africa are known for their tusks, it’s because the tusks contain ivory, which is valuable for many different purposes.

Elephant tusks or things made of ivory is often seen as a symbol of status , so therefore who has the tusks is considered as a person with status, this is because ivory that has in the tusks is not easy to come, so the possession of ivory speaks for itself.

Elephant tusks is also a root of money, there are several ways to make money from elephant tusks , one is to be a poacher or hunter , these people kill the elephants and take their tusks to sell it to others illegally. Poachers or hunters do not typically keep the ivory for themselves.

Only male elephants have tusks, so when people killing elephants for their tusks, they are slowly killing the animals to extinction. Even though they are not after the female elephants, elephants can’t reproduce without the males.

World wide elephant populations have declined at an alarming rate since the mid 1970’s and the large illegal trade of the elephant tusks is the key thrust of the declining of elephant populations, due to the matter Endangered Species Act was created.

Endangered Species Act was created by the U.S legislation that was passed in 1973 for the purpose of protecting wildlife that was close to extinction. This law prohibits the import and interstate commerce of all products that are manufactured from species on the endangered species list and on this act it makes it illegal to import trade or sell elephant ivory worldwide.

Both Asian and African elephants are on the endangered species list as of 2010 and have since the 1970s. Due to the act in 1989 Kenya forced to burn about 12 tons of the country’s ivory stores even the financially poor country could have used the money from the ivory but that would have sent a different message than burning it.

Even though the act has been established over many years ago, in the last ten years or so the elephant population has dropped by 80 percent, from 150,000 down to 30,000 in Kenya alone. This mean the hunting for elephant’s tusks is still out there kicking the life out of the elephants.

In this matter who is it to blame? Can you say the governments? The poachers? No, the one who should be blamed is us. We live our life as if we are the only creature who deserve to live in this world, the supremacy of human being is sky high , we kill things so it could accommodate us, we kill things so it could benefited us and we kill things without thinking of the consequences.

God created everything in this world with reasons , not even a single creature god created without any purposes, that’s how god balance this world with creating things that are depended on each other.

Have you ever asked yourself in 20 or 30 years time, if we continue to do such things, would our grandkids get a chance to see what we used to see? Will our grandkids get a chance to see such lovely and gentle elephants are?

. It is our duty to protect animals from extinction and you can’t depend on the organizations alone to protect it. There are many ways to stop animals from extinctions, it just a matter if you care or not. Act now before it’s too late.

Colonialism effects

It’s been what? 54, 53 years since we achieve independence right? And it took us hundred years to be freed from any parties and depending on ourselves. But do we really an independent country? If not as a country, how about as an individual? the effects on colonialism is still here, after so long eating British, Japanese and a lot more slaps it’s hard for Malaysian to forget the supremacy of those Colonialists. Today we still make them as an example how a develop country should be like, no matter how many flying kicks that we have received from them, we still look upon them. We are scared of the colonialists in terms of mind until now, especially the whites, whenever we see them we immediately tend to think the positivity about them. We feel they are smart, we feel they are good looking, we feel they knows thing so much than us and many more. What so positives about them if they used to flying kicked us all over the village? And not only that, not only we can't deny the supremacy of the colonialists, we adopted their culture too. So where are the independent? In form of what we achieve freedom? In form of "as long as we are not getting any flying kicks is good enough"?

Just because a person can talk fluent English that doesn't make him/her a smart person. Language is just a language, even if you're Malay and nurture from you're 2 years old to talk Tamil, you will be able to speak fluent Tamil too. Oh speaking fluent Tamil is not good as speaking fluent English? Because of what? Oh the colonialists use English kot when they colonized us, they spoke English kot when they beat the shit out of us, a-Ha look at the mentality, you can't judge a person simply by looking at the language he spokes or ethnicity.

If every subjects is turned into English then might as well change the Bahasa Malaysia to English too, it’s the same thing kan you still learning Bahasa Melayu but in English? They said if subjects are changed to English it’s easier for students to understand and prepare them for the future. Why? Our future is heading to where? Prepare for what? Prepare ourselves if say we are being colonized again it would be easier for us to negotiate when they try to give us flying kicks maybe instead of flying kicks maybe penampar ok kot,kurang sikit sakit kan? Is that it?

If you want to prepare students to master in English, all the universities in Malaysia is using English kan, so why bother the school students? If in school they are not learning much Bahasa then why say Bahasa is our national language. Don't say like that if you're doing the opposite way. Promote the national language, not abolish it slowly.

That's the one thing that has been troubling us for so many years, Denying the supremacy of the colonialists. And that's my friend is Colonialism effects.
