Give and Take....

I think God created this life with the concept of give and take...All the time, because God is the fairest of all.

A simple concept. If we pray, we get pahala. We go to Heaven. If we don't pray, we are sinned, we go to Hell. Simple right?

And I think it kind of holds true for everything in life. Everything we do has a 'Give and Take'

Today a friend was telling me about river channelization. You might know him, he has curly hair.

He told me that engineers, they had modified rivers in order to aid shipping, irrigation, and all for the benefit of mankind. However, the payoff in doing that, is the erosion of rivers, which made rivers dirty and caused land around it to be salty.

But kalau tak modify river, cannot also. Life becomes hard if we don' t do so. But kalau modify river, jadi kotor la, hapa la.

So in doing something, we benefit in some way, and we lose in some way. Give and take...

and I think everything in life macam tu...

Like studies..If we study hard, we might miss out on some stuff in life. A friend of mine used to study hard in school. Too hard, until he got no time for clubs, societies. His life, is all study. So he's smart, clever, but he forgot to have fun..

Macam aku la. Masa kat sekolah kuat main. So pandai pon tak. Tapi aku gembira. so ada la payoff. Nasib baik dapat blaja overseas...(syukurrr)

And sometimes in doing the things I do, I kind of benefit from a lot of it.

Like in KL, I didn't have a car. I didn't have money to buy one. So I took the public transport. All the time. And when I talked to my friends about it, I thought they would jeer and say stuff, but they didn't. Coz in a way, they never really experienced public transport like I did. So yeah. I didn't have a car. But I benefitted from it as well.

And studies. My curly haired friend I was talking about. He didn't have any Malay coursemates. So I told him that he was unlucky because it would be hard for him to discuss things. He laughed and told me : "Kau tu yang rugi, mingle dengan group sama je. At least aku belajar mingle dengan orang lain". He was right. He did benefit from the hardness.

Semua ada Give and take, win and lose, up and down....etc.

And that's the way it is in this game of life. We can't think of everything to be alright and ideal. It will always have Give and Take. If you're feeling hardship now, fear not. God is fair, and you will have an easy life later, provided you work for it.
