Off balance

Have you ever experienced a period in your life whereby everything just feels so off balance? You've always been a tea person and never depended on coffee for energy. And then all of a sudden you depend on caffeine alot more lately and then suffer from the aftermath jitters. You advocated against instant noodles but you find yourself succumbing and eating them alot more often lately. You feel further away from God and you procrastinate prayers. All you want to do when you return home is to sleep because you are just so so exhausted. You turn on your favourite sheikh on YouTube and don't get the same spiritual high. You fall sick ever so often and you forgot what is fun anymore. People are asking why you have been looking so sick and tired. People are asking are you okay? When you said yes you're just tired they don't believe you. But that's because you really are lethargic. You are more than lethargic. You are in a stupor. You feel that you need at least a week of slumber to fix this. Thankfully you see these signs and you slowly want to pull yourself up again.

So number 1) Detoxify
Number 2) Keep praying
Number 3) Run and cycle to keep the physical energy up.

I'm driven to write this post precisely because I can't entirely ignore the nagging voice inside my head, telling me to use writing as a tool to not only express myself, but to reclaim my voice. It is such an insanely noisy world. The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not ...

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
