post 6 : Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost J.R.R Tolkien
I am quite surprised to find that it's already the sixth post *laughs*.
"Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" J.R.R Tolkien , I remembered buying two of my friends a pouch with an illustration of a map and the mentioned quote from Typo in Malaysia as souvenirs.
At that time , I thought the quote as simply "Just because he keeps on walking around the school doesn't mean that he doesn't have any sense of direction/ a goal" or things like that. Well, perhaps because that's me , the guy who walked around the school compound and yes at that time I didn't have a sense of direction. I walked around in circle not knowing why.
Then , being in a situation I would truly call lost , I understood another perspective meaning. To the me right now it means "There are people who took an indirect path to success " .So it means that it doesn't matter if you're feeling like your job is not right , or you feel the need to change your courses , just do what you think is right without rush and surely at the end of the day you will see that what you did is right .
This also reminded me of what Kaname Madoka's mother said in one of the episodes "If your friend is always doing the right thing but that things is making things worse for her, then do the wrong things for her. Lie to her or run away from something scary . At first she might misunderstood you but at the end, she will realised that you did that for her and it was the right thing after all,"
She also said things like , " Madoka you have been a good child, you never do bad things nor lie. You had passed your childhood with flying colors. But sometimes you need to learn to do the wrong things while you're still young . Because when you are still young , you heal faster and this would help you when you fall when you're an adult. Being an adult , falling always lead to bigger consequences because you shoulder a lot more responsibility.."
So tis be a reminder to me that I have survive all of these and insyaAllah will survive the rest. So that, all the stupid things and mistake I did would be useful for me.So that I would be able to accept what I earned and make use of it to reach a yet to be known goal and be happy. InsyaAllah.
Next thing I would like to mention is my last night visit to Ukong. It was a village far from the town , quite isolated . But trust me when I said its priceless to be there. As our car drove further and further into lots of turns and roads , there are a number of places that doesn't have any road lights and I am grateful for it in some ways. Earlier before leaving home , I could see that the night sky is clear , no clouds to be seen and there are some stars that could be seen than usual. And when we were on the non-litted place , I swore that was the first time I ever seen the sky so wide and the stars were numerous. With only the stars as the source of light (no light pollution except for our car's headlight )trees of the forest turn into a silhouette, the sky a black-bluish gradient and it was as if I was looking at a postcard from somewhere out of the country. The stars ! There were so many of them. They were all around me , anywhere I turned. I caught my breath so many times. Masha-Allah , it was a beautiful view I could just jump out of the car and lie there and cry in joy.Hopefully one day , I would be able to bring my friends there to stargaze . Until then I hope it would stand proudly in place.Oh and hopefully by then I would own a super defined camera that could take picture of the stars and moon.
well then,
Aniyuuki
