Last week on Heroes (that episode 18 for those Malaysian that illegally download it), there's one part where Linderman asked Nathan Petrelli (okay, I'm not going to be a spoiler to those who faithfully follow the story at Astro) if he wants a happy life or meaningful life. Coz he said that you can't have both. If you want happy life, you enjoy your present without worrying about the past and future. If you choose meaningful life, you have to worry about your past and future.
Can we have both? Meaningful and happy. I think we can. If you lead a meaningful life, at your deathbed, you know you have life to the fullest and you'll be happy. If you lead a happy life, your life must be meaningful, right. I mean how come you live a happy meaningless life, do you get what I mean.
On the other hand, there are some people who live a meaningful life without being happy, right. He's become someone important in the country and society but at the same time he's too busy to take time and smell the roses. He missed out all the important people in his life. He's life is meaningful; contributing to country, but does he happy? Maybe not.
But I don't think there's people who is happy but has meaningless life. Nobody lead meaningless life except all that Mat Fit la. But then, they're not happy right. They depend on drugs to be happy (or false happy). Even you just a gardener or whatever, you are someone to somebody. You are somebody's father, mother, uncle, auntie, son, daughter, cousin, friend, wife or husband. So your life is meaningful. Every human Allah made is meaningful. But to find who is happy or not is different story.
So, what do you think? Do you think you are happy? I know you have meaningful life.

1st to comment here...(= but 1stly, where & when did u updated ur blog??home or after u stayback?? huhuhu...
so i think wat did u want to say is true...we can get both and we have meaningful live as we are a muslim...how lucky we are rite??can u imagine we born from athies background family or comunist or ..... they have no purpose of life, just thier current live wif no future (after died) and that make our life more meaningful...
so my point is our life will be meaningful not only have a good relationship with other people (be good husband or wife or mum or dad or fren etc) but we have a good relation wif adDeen, be a good muslim and hambaAlLAH yang beriman....
-thanks-
