Why are we so miserable in our "happiness"?
There are 2 tragedies in life....One is about not getting what we want and theother is getting it!!! Be careful what we wish for!!!
When we already have so much, why a we wanting more? The more we get, themore we want and too much is never enough!!! We want so much to be happy itsmaking us immeasurably miserable!!! Economic growth and technological leapsdoes not necessarily improve human predicament nor lead to more satisfaction orhappiness. Instead its bring wealth of diminishing returns. You gain some butin the process you loss something close to your heart like love, friendship,laughter, time and health.
Despite radically improved living standards, no amount of material benefits hasbeen able to buy us a meaningful or a happy life. Money surely buys a lots ofthings...a beautiful wife but not her love; a big house but not a home; a newheart but not health. That is why famous, beautiful, handsome, rich andsuccessful people abuse themselves with drugs or resort to suicide. Theirmaterial success is just a hollow space fill with emptiness. In spite of theworldly fact that they have everything they want but in reality their heartsare empty.
Then how do we be happy then? If you want to be a happy person, get back tohuman scale and do good deeds. If you happen to be lucky, famous and rich doshare it with the poor. Being successful and in a leadership position carrywith it a responsibilities to care for the people especially theunfortunate. As an afterthought, maybe if we just stop trying so hard tobe happy, we might actually have a good time. Money talks, but rarely hasanything meaningful or useful to say!!! |

If you expect the universe, you will be sorely disappointed. Money is everything except happiness. Just lay back and enjoy life. Discover who you are and when we discover that in our spirits, only then will our inner phoenix fly........ |

duit (harta) itu penting. tapi iman & takwa itu lagi penting. duit (harta) tanpa iman itu yg merosakkan. guna duit utk tujuan2 maksiat instead of kebaikan. |

The real problem lies within man himself, for he is a blend of good and evil, ignorance and knowledge, power and impotence. The key to man's defense is taqwa.
Taqwa is a kind of inner torch, a spiritual spark which man must light within himself to distinguish between right and wrong.
The purpose of man’s creation is that he do good in the world. This is why it is imperative, according to the Quran, to take this life seriously and to recognize fully that no matter how much one may hide one's negative intentions and one's failings, God "is well aware of them," as the Quran often puts it. Hence one must develop that inner torch (taqwa) which can enable one to distinguish between right and wrong, between justice and injustice.
To cultivate taqwa, read the Al Quran :
"Alif. Lam. Mim. This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who have taqwa" [2:1-2] |

Manusia terdorong utk mencari persoalan mengapa mereka tidak pernah puas tidak pernah bahagia. Lantas mereka terdorong mencari jawaban melalui keduniaan dan akhirnya berkiblat pada dunia. Mereka mungkin mencapai apa yg dikatakan kejayaan keduniaan namun mereka tetap gelisah. Jiwa mereka menjerit dan menangis...bukan fisikal yg menangis melainkan hati dan jiwa raga. Kenapa ini terjadi?
Sebenarnya semua dari kita sepanjang kehidupan melakukan perjalanan pencarian makna kehidupan. Inilah yg berlaku kepada Nabi Musa di Muqadash Thuwa dan Rasulullah di Gua Hira. Ada manusia yg menyadari bahawa dirinya sedang melakukan pencarian namun ramai sekali yg tidak pernah sedar. Kegelisahan manusia adalah diakibatkan oleh sebuah pencarian mencari makna kehidupan.....untuk apa kehidupan ini dan kemana arah tuju nya.
Banyak yg tidak sedar bahawa segala krisis manusia moden bermula dari krisis jati diri atau krisis spiritual. Ini adalah akibat dari kehidupan keduniaan yg terlalu mementingkan kejayaan akademik dan intelektual. Kenapa setelah kejayaan ini dicapai manusia yg sepatutnya berjaya masih gelisah dan jiwa kosong dan hambar? |

be moderate and discipline yourself.
easier to satisfy, limit to rules of your own.
this way, u can see the limit, the boundary. but never go there. u will when u ready. but when u ready, u already have new rules, new moderate level. and so - on... |

Sistem pendidikan skrg terlalu menekankan pentingnya nilai akademik saja. Mulai sekolah rendah hingga universiti jarang sekali dijumpai pendidikan ttg kecerdasan emosi yg mengajar ttg integriti, kejujuran, komitmen, visi, kreativiti, ketahanan mental, keadilan, kebijaksanaan(wisdom). Ada paradox merbahaya mengenai IQ.....sementara skor IQ semakin tinggi maka kecerdasan emosi semakin turun.
Survey menunjukkan bahawa anakx zaman moden skrg lebih sering mengalami masalah emosi dibanding generasi terdahulu. Ratax anakx moden skrg tumbuh dalam kesepian dan depresi, mudah marah dan sukar patuh pada aturan, lebih gugup dan cenderung cemas, impulsif dan agresif.
Survey juga menunjukkan dari jutaan manusia yg berjaya didunia ini, 20 peratus terhasil dari kecerdasan IQ mereka manakala 80 peratus terhasil dari kecerdasan emosi. Kunci utama kejayaan manusia terhasil dari kecerdasan emosi dan bukan saja IQ tapi ianya tidak diajar dimana-mana pun dlm sistem pendidikan!!! Yang lebih penting adalah kecerdasan emosi inilah salah satu landasan utama menuju kebahagiaan. Tapi aneh tiada siapa yang memberi keutamaan kepada pembangunan kecerdasan ini!!! |

why are miserable
well in a sense it serves to prove that ALLAH is indeed The Most Just , Beneficent etc etc
each one of us are basically unique beings with different expectation and ideas, background and profiles
so , with that there is price to pay as each one of us is being tested differently....
so for me , it is better to say SABAR denbgan ujian kesenangan dan kesusahan... |

kena baca balik translate Al Quran, semua ada ubat kegelisahan manusia di situ.
dlm Al Quran cuma simple kata buat kebaikan, beriman, percaya Allah, ada balasan syurga dan neraka.
cuma kita yg menghadapi perjalanan/tekanan dunia ini terlalu cerewet, nakkan harta berlebih2an, pangkat, bini2, anak2. padahal dlm Al Quran x perlu berlebih2an ttg itu kerana ia boleh jadi menyesatkan/melalaikan kita.
Perjalanan kehidupan masakini amat mencabar, kita disogok dgn macam2 intertaimen berlebihan spt internet wayang tv astro fesbuk, kita berlumba2 mencari kehidupan yg terbaik dari segi harta, rumah, wang ringgit,ilmu yg bercurah2 bagi menjamin kelangsungan hidup selesa sepanjang hayat. mengakibatkan masa kita agak terhad utk beribadah, bersama2 keluarga, jiran2 dll.
apapun zaman sekarang kena balance kehidupan dan akhirat, blum tentu mati bila. sila baca translate Al-Quran bila jiwa gelisah, merana, kesempitan kerana ianya ada petunjuk halatuju /tujuan kita sebenar di dunia. kehidupan dunia hanya main2 sahaja kan |
