By the night that envelops

“ By the night that envelops “

A sun is slowly gone from eyes of people who live in sudbury, a small town which is located 4 hours from Toronto. Around 300 lakes in sudbury are witnessing the sun which starts to fade away slowly but surely. Its light has melted some ice that is still spreading on the lakes that turn to become a blue “carpet” and give a beautiful view.

I am still sitting on my chair right before my computer and waiting for seeing a sunset to come. I have no main idea that i can write at the moment because i am just following what my thought thinks and my fingers press on a keyboard. On my table, there is only a glass, a mouse, a toilet paper, a tape, and a bunch of pens that were given as gift from my professor. A watch is still ticking and i can hear every movement that it makes. On my walls, some papers were attached and have no use now because they were just reminders of mine during my exam period. But the exam now has passed so they just stick onto the wall till i take them off . I am just lazy to take them off since these holidays just attract me so much to a bed.

I am trying to look around my apartment. They all look like the same since the first time i moved into it around 3.5 months ago. They are in the same position and situation. Similarly, I always have the same regular activity since i came to sudbury. But, one time I was contemplating that a regular situation and condition will lead one to take for granted.

Yes.."taking for granted" that is the word. Now i remember my prof. said once "the greatest enemy of human is to take for granted". Our mind is always bombarded by various kind of information. We are overloaded because all media always give us new information in every second.

This thing comes and attacks me now. A beautiful view from my apartment was taken for granted. I should think how can this beautiful lake and view appear ? Does it appear out of sudden ? A day is always marked by a dawning from the east and closed by a sunset from the west. This thing always happens since a million years ago, but human mostly failed to grab some lessons that need to be uncovered from a canny of the day and night.

Humans sometime are too much proud of themselves. Developing a scientific tool is considered to be the most advanced development that ever recorded in human history. A vexing arrogant development of human intelligence has directed them into different ways of looking at life and perceiving the existence of higher power. Humans think that they are capable enough to make this world as their subject. With their great ability of mind they gradually forget about their nature which comes from nothing, just a drop of sperm, and has no power to challenge the world. Once they were born into the world, they start to learn how to communicate and survive. They were endowed with some tools that enable them to tackle various kinds of difficulties that might be encountered throughout their lives.

The beginning of human has no power. How can the sperm turns into a perfect human being who has arms, mouth, heart that aid him to live in the world ? Does a human creation happen by accident or is it occurred because of something else that has Higher power which cannot be attained by any other human beings ? Why are humans able to breath ? Why does the heart work automatically with no necessarily require our consciousness ?. Humans are so weak. But then why in the end they leave behind their nature which has no power at all and start to become arrogant and claim that they are the ones who are "creators" of the earth and able to make a life ?

Again, the vexing virus of "taking for granted" has contaminated our mind to think about the existence of God. Human beings were endowed 2 potentialities by God: either following a right path or wrong one. Here, Given 2 opposite potentialities of human, it doesn't mean that God wants them to take a wrong path. An ultimate purpose is to test them how much they really obey Him who provides them with all good such tools and equipments as brain, eyes, ears, nose, skin. Unfortunately, there are many humans take the dark path that will lead them to an unbearable regret forever both in the world and hereafter.

Thus, taking for granted virus is not only making us forget about our nature but it also takes us away from obeying the Higher power that has granted us the invaluable chance of living. We human soon or later will depart from this world. We come into the world with all weaknesses and witnessed that we will obey our Lord, though in the process of life we primarily leave Him behind. Eventually, as death is just around the corner humans will be back to his inborn natural predisposition in which believing in his Lord and concede that they are powerless again.

The night starts enveloping and covering the day now ....Time to see the Lord at maghrib time
