Right and Wrong, which is it?

When you do something, regardless of what it is, do you think what you did is right, acceptable? The same goes when you see someone do something, regardless of what it is, do you think what he did is acceptable or the other way around? [Reader: Where does this guy wants to lead us?]

During my study in secondary school, I was thaught in history that the people who lived in my country were warriors for peace and freedom of their own land. And that's what me and the rest of my classmate were thaught. We accept it and memorize their names, place, biography, their history by heart. But I remember there was once my teacher said the western [whos at that time 'invade' my country] thaught their people of the same people to be the exact opposite of what we were thaught. They were thaught that these people are terrorist, war-maker, opposition, and all the bad stuff as they menyusahkan pemerintahan yang dijalankan at that time. Well, which is which? Whose is whose? What is what?

Which one is the truth? Mane satu yg betul? One side kate "si A" ialah seorang pejuang sbb die tidak mahu penjajah menakluk dan mentadbir tanah mereka seperti yang mereka lakukan pada waktu itu. Bagi penduduk yang menduduki tanah itu seperti "si A" mempunyai pandangan yang sama dgn si A dan menyokong tindakannya. Bagi penjajah, si A merupakan seorang pemberontak dan harus ditangkap dan dihukum. Bagi rakyat si penjajah, si A merupakan seorang pemberontak kerana menentang pemerintahan yang digunapakai ketika itu. Bagaimana pula dgn pandangan orang ketiga? Pandangan dari seorang yg bukan pejuang dan bukan juga penjajah. Adakah kita akan berkata "si A ni betul sbb hak die diambil" atau "si penjajah tu betul sbb mereka yg memerintah, jadi mereka yg diperintah haruslah mengikut cara pemerintahan yang dijalankan" I'll leave this as it is. It's up to you guys to think about it coz that's not the main thing i want to share here. It was just a spark for you to think.

[Reader: bile mamat ni nk citer point dia?]

Okay, it's time for the real thing. Persoalan yg perlu ditimbulkan di sini ialah, "Mana yg betul, mana yg salah?" Bila kita lihat seseorang itu melakukan kejahatan, mencuri sbg contoh, kita melihat dia sbg seorang yg jahat, dan tindakan itu salah di sisi undang - undang. Bahkan dari segi moral, perbuatan itu tidak patut dilakukan as we are thaught to respect others. But, that's only one side. Ape pula pandangan si pencuri? Apakata jika si pencuri itu mengatakan dia perlukan duit. Dia lapar dan mahu makan, sekadar mengalas perut, bukan sehingga membuncitkan perut dan seterusnya dapat banyak penyakit sebab banyak makan. If u say "kenapa tak cari kerja?" he did, tp xde orang nak bagi kerja. Even mengemis pun die dah buat tp before die dapat duit utk makan he might be in the afterlife already. "kenapa tak kutip tin and jual kat tempat recyle ker, dapat duit, kerja jgak" do you think he's as smart as you? consider that too. he might be dumb, dumb enough that he can do that as an alternative. then, are you going to blame him for being dumb? who's right now? who's the wrong one? It doesn't end here. People will say "he did the crime, whatever it is the bottom line he did it and need to be punsihed by law or whatsoever" Is that true? Is that right? Is that the solution to the problem? If he's thrown into prison you'll prevent him to steal during his imprisonment, when he's release? He might think it's better to steal again and get caught coz he'll be fed there and have friends and home to stay. To me it doesn't sound like solving the problem. Then what must we do? There must be an answer, but what? What if I say, "Get that man clean, feed him and help him to find a job and a temporary place for him to stay until he can settle down. Get him to apologize to the person he steal and explain his situation to him" [Who will do that?] Ask yourself, if you don't want him to steal again then help him. If you can't find a person who can. Help him to help yourself. You are doing yourself a favor by doing that.

Some people think that they are smart as they know a lot of stuff. Some have a degree, master, or even a PhD. For them that's a measurement how smart someone is. But, the truth is that can only be called "how not dumb you are" measurement. It's just that people are offended by that word that they don't use it. We as human, we are dumb. Dumb enough be called one coz there're lots of stuff that we don't know. Those who doesn't know is what we call bodoh, jahil. Sebab mereka tidak tahu. It goes for me as well. But that doesn't mean that you can't be smart. Be smart enough to be "not that dumb" is what i say. lol. Then one might raise a question "Then what's the purpose of having the law?" Mind you, The law is not absolute. There are flaws here and there, loop hole [swindlers use this to escape from the law] If one section says this, there's another section saying the opposite. Law is just the guideline for us human to follow. Because that law is human made, it's not perfect. The only perfect is The Almighty God, Allah. The one and only god. From him, through His messenger He gives the law in the form of Islam. This comes through my beliefs. It has nothing to do with preaching other people into Islam. Nothing of sort. Eventhough we have the man-made law, but my top law-to-be-followed is the one in Islam.

Oh, it's dragging even further from my inital point. Well, basically I want you guys especially those who read this to think "how do I view things?" Will you be the one sided person who jump into conclusion straight away, in a blink of an eye or will you take sometime to consider others position as well? It's your choice. Even when you see someone being in the lowest position you can imagine, how will you see it? Will you see with respect and care or with one selfishness. Some might even don't give a damn of what I wrote here coz everything i said is crap. It's up to you, you have your view as well. I respect that, will you be able to do the same? It's your call
