Arjun - Tum Hi Ho
Argh!!!!
Seriously people really bug me, just because I do not belittle others does that mean it gives another person to belittle me ... I'm not quiet because I'm an idiot either. I've never perceived myself to be super smart by any means but neither do I think I'm a complete buffoon.
I ask questions to gain knowledge, if you start proclaiming that your answer is the definitive answer that smacks of something weird.
One great example is Eid, I have no problem with folk telling me Eid is on Thursday not Friday, however if you tell me it's because someone's calculated this due to a moon seen in a different country without getting the local moon sighting committee or equivalent to verify this, then where is the logic in that. Am I meant to ask this same person to get me my local prayer times too. It scream irrationality and I for one consider my faith to be a rational thing, we have been given brains for a reason.
And if I ask for local confirmation don't express your annoyance, yet another irrational action, seeing as it'll just create unnecessary tension, I'm not going to ask you to consider my perspective as the absolute truth and I would hope that no one else would do the same ... I consider points however considering them and blindly following them are 2 separate things ...
Apologies I just get annoyed when people make assumptions, it's bad enough that I get lectures telling me I should wear hijab and get married all the time, just because I choose not to comment on the type of clothing, behaviour, etc, it's not because I don't see them it's because we all have our own paths to follow and as I'm not perfect who am I to point out the imperfection of another, we are here in this world to use our strengths together and make a better world, decreasing and improving any weaknesses so that the world we have borrowed from the next generation is in better condition then we received it in ..
