Aidilfitri 2010- Reflection

Hari Raya is getting more mundane year in year out. This year, I had the same feeling too. I can't provide the real reason behind this, but I guess that feeling is normal as you are getting older.

Hari Raya now is more like a time to catch up with the family members, relatives and friends.

I think the children will enjoy it more as they can still receive duit raya while it is a headache for the adults to prepare the money.

This year, the whole nation is shocked with the murder of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya. The crime committed is totally unacceptable especially when everyone is celebrating Aidilfitri.

I have no idea why we have come to this stage. It is a question that everyone must try to answer. The news surprised us as we always thought that this country is safe.

The murder betrays the spirit of Aidilfitri because everyone should be spending their times with the beloved ones during this meaningful day.

Talking about the beloved ones, I managed to spend a quality time with my parents, brothers and friends. I love Aidilfitri as that is the time when I seek forgiveness from my parents for all my wrongdoings. I love them so much as they give me their trust to do things on my own.

There were many times when I made a decision without much interference from my parents. I respect them for that because that is the sign of full trust given by them for me to explore the unknowns.

Trust is important because it is also a sign of confidence. You trust someone because you are confident that he or she will live up to your expectation. But trust is not a thing that you can buy, trust needs to be earn.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. We are all human beings, and therefore we are not perfect. But, we can improve ourselves to become a good person. God loves those who want to improve themselves because that is the sign of not giving up easily with our own inadequacies as a human being.
