As Salam U Alaikum,

First time writing a publc diary...although it would be nice if not many people came across my blog. Not that I'm a very private person, but when it comes to personal thoughts, provocative ones perhaps, I'd rather allow myself to speak freely without anybody telling me what's right or wrong.
I guess that's what has been bothering me these days. I hear of so many altercations and useless debates over the slightest issues. Or maybe things more political like...What is the perfect democracy? the perfect language? the perfect culture? What is the perfect people?
It's this longing for a perfect existence and surrounding that bugs me. I've always tended to see things with ambition..a drive. Yet a more practical one. It's my pet peeve to watch people stare up at the unlimited sky, wishing to reach the stars, believing they will at any second. It's not that easy, you know? Maybe I'm just babbling and talking nuisance myself.
But really, such quixotic thoughts are relied upon disillusionment of the human mind. We're too selfish to realize the reality of life and so we seek solace in illusion and fantasy. Our world embraces vivid colors, purple skies, flying unicorns. But it all dies... It all surrenders to the reality of something too harsh to escape. One experiences an epiphany, the sudden realization that they were trapped in a materialistic, quixotic realm of disillusionment.

That's the problem with our society. We're all over our heads in everything we do. Generally speaking, that is. We might not get anything done because we're resting our minds in our fairy-tale-based imaginations.
Once reality knocks on your front door, things won't be so satisfying any more.
Is it war? Tragedy? A paradigm shift in society? Who knows.

Allahu Alim :)
