The Purple Sky

"Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream" - Khalil Gibran

i just watched a movie called 'Requeim for a Dream'.

okay, including 'Let the Birds Fly Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Gattaca'.. and some other movies i can't bring myself to mention, this is one of the most disturbing movies i've ever watched; ( i know..i know..i'm not that adventurous when i comes to such movies..) but all i can think during the whole time was - this is what happen when people has no reason to live, when life has no purpose. when the only reasons to wake up the next morning are because thy lungs are still breathing, and thy heart is still pumping. when living only means = to eat, find pleasures and keep on living. when only one shimmer of hope means the world, and one would do anything to revive the hope.

and its nauseating. but sadly true.

well, that's what beliefs are for. we need reasons to live. that's why we pray, that's why we die. because life has to have a meaning. i thank Allah for giving me all the reason to live.

just out of curiosity, i tried looking out for the word requiem, it's a latin, and it means- a mass for a deceased person, or a musical composition for such mass.


i should get back to my books. *sigh*
