Break up quote

You can learn how to let go of the past.

Whether you have experienced a break up

with someone you cared for deeply,

whether death has taken a loved one,

whether you have had a feud with a friend or family member,

whether you have lost a job.

Move on and let go.

Life can be joyful and rewarding again.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Revenge... is like a rolling stone,

which, when a man hath forced up a hill,

will return upon him with a greater violence,

and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.

- Albert Schweitzer

When you break up, your whole identity is

shattered. It's like death.

- Dennis Quaid

Understanding the sick mind of Yazid Sufaat

Understanding the sick mind of Yazid Sufaat

 

Disbeliever: I feel sorry for you, Yazid Sufaat. If the 9/11 attackers are hailed as 'marketers of Islam', then the perception is that Islam is a 'terrorist religion'.

Perhaps my knowledge of comparative studies in religions is shallow, but from the various readings I've made, there is no religion in the world that teaches its disciples to kill innocent lives.

Even Islam forbids the taking away of one's life; what more of others'. The problem that exists right now is that many Muslims are misinterpreting the Quran.

A good example is the term 'jihad', which has been misinterpreted in so many ways, thus 9/11, the Bali bombings and other acts of terrorism are deemed to be 'jihad'.

One thing is very clear - God (in whichever religion and form that the Almighty appears) has never asked its followers to take innocent lives and that He is a God of love and compassion.

I believe too that Islam is a great religion but some of its followers (including Yazid) have given it a negative image to the world.

Chritopher Loi: This man is not in any right frame of mind to be walking our streets. He breathes hatred and believes killing is the best way to resolve issues.

I thought a psychiatrist was supposed to check if he was okay before his release from ISA (Internal Security Act).

Too many rapists and robbers spent time in jail and only to return to their old selves after their release. I hope he is not going to be one of them.

Gusnargh: This man is deranged. He sees conspiracies at every turn and justifies his actions because he sees it somehow as "defending his own beliefs". I think Malaysiakini has done a good job interviewing him.

If nothing else, I feel that it has turned a lot of normal-thinking Malaysians against this sort of ideology.

I hope this isn't taken as a justification for the ISA, however. Detention without trial needs to be abolished if this country is to progress and men like Yazid should be charged in a court of law, judged according to the laws of the country and put away for whatever crimes he has committed.



Yazid, please be reminded, faith is supposed to be redemptive, not coercive. I don't think you understand that - since you don't believe in democracy.

Kairos: So according to Yazid's twisted ideology, it is okay to kill innocent people to promote and market your faith.

He argued that the 9/11 attackers killed 3,000 people is allowable in Islam because it demonstrates their love and worship of their god.

What kind of a god are they portraying to non-Muslims? A god of hatred and murder and slaughtering of men and women just because they hate Americans and their capitalist system?

Please, keep this belief system to yourself. I don't want it.

Mat Malaysia: Why is this modern day 'Don Quixote' not still behind bars? Who let him out? He is obviously an unrepentant menace to society.

Kakarook: So Allah asks you to kill innocent people all over the world - the innocent people in the train going to work, the kids going to school, the pregnant woman going to hospital?

Let me tell you that what you are believe in is not true Islam. I have lots of Muslim friends and they are really a peace-loving people.

What you believe in is killing. And I can conclude you believe in Satan instead.

Retard: Wow, attributing the increase of Islam converts to all these killings is a real leap of faith, isn't it? If only statistics were that simple.


Dont Just Talk: Talk all you want, former Selangor PAS chief Hasan Ali. After all, the 13th GE is just around the corner and you will be left with no party to stand as their candidate.

PAS has expelled a loudmouth like you. Umno will not touch you with a 10-foot pole because you are not a winnable candidate. Perhaps you should stand under a Perkasa ticket and in the process, lose your deposit.

But at least, Hasan Ali, as the second court jester in Malaysia, you make rational Malaysians laugh at your antics.

Ferdtan: I thought Hasan Ali puts three imperatives before himself - royalty, race and religion.

By snubbing the Selangor sultan in not attending not one but two functions graced by His Majesty, he had failed in his self-proclaimed mission.

He is all talk (which a career motivator is good at), but no action.

Believe me I am WORTH IT

Proud to be Chinese

Proud to be Chinese
Proud to be born a Chinese. Each and every race has their own Pride and so long as they do not infringe into others' right, I don't see any problem of them taking their own PRIDE, wonder why the Malaysian politicians are so taboo about this?
Why do Chinese people work so hard to succeed in life? Here is the plain truth.
 #1. There are over 1 billion of us on this earth. We are like photostat copies of each other. You get rid of one, 5 magically appears (like ballot boxes). Yes, it is scary, especially for us. We acknowledge that we are replaceable, thus we are not particularly 'special'. If you think you are smart, there are a few thousand more people smarter than you. If you think you are strong, there are a few thousand people stronger than you.
 #2. We have been crawling all over this earth for far more centuries than most civilizations. Our DNA is designed for survival. We are like cockroaches. Put us anywhere on earth and we will make a colony and thrive.  We survive on anything around us and make the best of it. Some keep migrating but others will stay and multiply.
#3. NOBODY cares if we succeed as individuals or not. But our families take pride in knowing we have succeeded. Yes, some will fail. We take nothing for granted. We don't expect privileges to fall on our laps. No one owes us anything.
#4. We know we have nothing to lose if we try to succeed. Thus, we have no fear trying. That is why Chinese are addicted to gambling. We thrive on taking risks. All or nothing.
#5. From young we are taught to count every cent. What we take for granted like money management, I have found out recently, is not something other cultures practice at home with their children. It surprised me. But truth is not all societies or cultures teach their young this set of skills because it is rude to them. Yes, most of us can count because we are forced to and the logic of money is pounded into us from the beginning of time (when mama tells us how much she has spent on our milk and diapers)
 #6. We acknowledge life cycles. We accept that wealth in a family stays for three generations (urban myth?). Thus, every 4th generation will have to work from scratch. I.e. first generation earns the money from scratch, second generation spends the money on education, third generation gets spoiled and wastes all the inheritance. Then we are back to square one.  Some families hang on to their wealth a little longer than most.
#7. It is our culture to push our next generation to do better than the last. Be smarter. Be stronger. Be faster. Be more righteous. Be more pious.  Be more innovative. Be more creative. Be richer. Be everything that you can be in this lifetime. Be KIASU.
#8. Our society judges us by our achievements... and we have no choice but to do something worthwhile because Chinese New Year comes around every year and Chinese relatives have no qualms about asking you straight in your face - how much are you making? When was your last promotion? How big is your office? What car do you drive? Where do you stay? You have boyfriend? You have girlfriend? When are you getting married? When are you having children? When is the next child? When you getting a boy? Got maid yet? Does your company send you overseas? etc etc etc. It NEVER ENDS... so, we can't stop chasing the illusive train - we are damned to a materialistic society. If you are not Chinese, consider yourself lucky!
#9. We have been taught from young - if you have two hands, two feet, two eyes, and a mouth, what are you doing with it? People with no hands can do better than you (and the OKU artists do put us to shame)
 #10. Ironically, the Chinese also believe in giving back to save their wretched materialistic souls. Balance is needed. The more their children succeed in life, the more our parents will give back to society (not for profit) as gratitude for the good fortune bestowed on their children. Yes. That is true. And that is why our society progresses forward in all conditions.Nobody pities us. We accept that.No one owes us anything. We know that.There are too many of us for charity to reach all of us. We acknowledge that.But that does not stop us from making a better life. This lifetime.Opportunity is as we make of it.So, pardon us if we feel obliged to make a better place for ourselves in this country we call home. It is in our DNA to progress forward for a more comfortable life.

But if history were to be our teacher, look around this globe.Every country has a Chinatown (seriously) but how many government/countries are 'taken' over by the Chinese people. Don't be afraid of us overwhelming your majority, we are not looking to conquer. If we have moved away from China and Chinese governed countries, we are NOT looking for another country to administer. Our representatives are only there to look after our collective welfare. They are duty bound. We prefer to blend in and enjoy the fruits of our labor. We enjoy the company of like minded people of all races. After all, we are only passing through a small period in the history of time... so, use our skills and we can all progress forward together.
