The Changing World

It's been a while since I've written a blog and to start this one I think I need to tell you a little bit of myself first.

I'm a Moslem Indonesian and I'm 28 years old. I am married and now expecting my first child. I've always like writing and it really took off when I started writing fics about the thing I like the most in this whole universe: SNSD.

I am proud of my religion, my country and I love my family. But I am restless right now with the situation of the world we are living in. There are just so many chaos, hate, and violence. I know that those things have been around for a long time but lately things seem to escalate, oh, so quickly. And it's frighten me.

The situation here in my country is not very good. People are divided here and there's a silent tension which could explode into something big and ugly at anytime.

And there was this bombing incident in Manchester and news of Marawi city in Philippines being raided by terrorists.

The world is scary.

Now, as I'm expecting my first son, I am afraid of what he will face in this world. How should I protect him from harm and at the same time teaching him about love and compassion with all these hatred in these scary times?

"Every time I see this world change, it's always been for the worse," says Eve from V for Vendetta and I can't help to agree.

All the worries aside, I try to convince myself that apart of the horror this world can offer, there are a lot of beautiful things my son can witness. I don't know the extent of my ability as soon to be father but I will try my best to not let him be drawn to the dark side haha.

I just hope everyone would just leave other people's affair and mind their own. Loving is an easier task to do than hating, right? So let's love each other no matter who you are. Then peace won't become such a hard thing to accomplish.

/sigh

i feel that all this terrorist thingies are really shady. to be honest...i'm not saying all people of our religion is perfect...far from it...but how these so called terrorists are always at major cities succeeding in doing attacks n even leaving behind identifications, clues and everything...even how they get past all the strict securities is beyond me...there are more suspicious thing...but i feel that this is a major force taking down religions one after another...the saddest thing is, Muslim countries are getting massively terrorized every single day since decades ago....and nobody cared unlike these specific publicized attacks that looks obviously trying to bring highlight to Islam as a religion even when it looks really fake to me. as a Muslim as well...i'm scared to even go out of the country though i really like travelling, i've been treated as terrorist suspects a couple times already at some airports...but yeah, the tension has gotten so high...only waiting to explode...when i was a kid, there was no racism or hate between different religions/races among my friends, but as i grew and seeing the same kids from my childhood in my sns, so much has changed for the worse. i feel sad for all lives killed...but the world is definitely getting more dangerous by the day for those still living bcuz the manipulation by high ups are only going to make people more separated and hate each other instead of uniting for a better world...the evil plans of the devil going smoothly. the only thing i feel i could do is to keep praying to God...for truth to come out, and for us all humans to be saved. woops...sorry...i didn't say anything comforting. i needed to rant and came across this post and ended up ranting here. -_-. keep being positive even if it's not easy.
