Life, my dear friends, can be a real
challenge, a test or a game!
By Fatima Lunat
S ometimes we feel life has been
so unfair to us because of all our
obstacles and challenges be it
health issues , relationship issues,
wealth, etc. We are humans after
all and at times we feel like we
need to confront life, sometimes
we feel like it’s only us that’s
having this encounter with life.
Only I am suffering. No! my dear
friends, we all go through different
tests in our lives. It’s just some of
us wear masks or a great disguise.
So my dear friends it’s never too
late to look at life through a
positive window. Change your view
and remember there is a bright day
yet to come after a long storm.
Nothing lasts forever no matter
what your obstacles are.
Be thankful and grateful to Allah
for all the little blessings in life.
Even when your little bambinos
were ashamed of your car with its
screeching noises, when you
dropped them off at school. They'd
rather have you park at a distance
because they didn't want their
friends to see them in mummy's
old but faithful, red jalopy. But
stop and think.
Do these high and mighty friends
love you or do they love your money
and status? Where were they when
you were at your worst? Wake up!
Ask yourself; are these the friends I
want to have? Because the reality is
that it's the money and your status
that these shallow people are drawn
to. Remember when nobody even
bothered about *Nadia when she
and *Sameer struggled to make ends
meet? (*not real names)
Have u heard of the TECHNO
ZOMBIE. Maybe not, but yes you
have seen him or her when looking
into the mirror. Yes it’s me, you and
half of the human population on
earth or maybe more. Even our
bambinos are being invaded by this
techno alien. Yes I must admit, it has
many advantages especially Mr and
Mrs GOOGLE always there for me in
my darkest times and let’s not forget
the latest video calling . How cool is
that! It's like you with the person,
even though I look double my size
and my face looks like an expanded
pumpkin.
