What is a day? You can see it as 24 hours. Or you can be philosophical. A day is a chance. A day is a gift. Ever noticed how some days are longer than the rest? While some days seems to end so soon? You think you control the hours. You think you have it all planned out. You think as long as you are prepared, 'life goes on', and the at the end of the day, the sun will set and you prepare for another day. You start everyday looking at the bigger picture while ignoring the little details that define the picture. You condemn the way the leaders run the country yet you're guilty of the same crime with your own family. You spend your time working to make a better future for your family but you fail to outline the kind of future you hope they will have. Have we been building our own destruction? Have we been seeding the wrong plant? A seed is a seed. If we plant the seed of an orange, it can not grow into an apple tree. No matter what manure you use and how often you water the plant. But you can try to control the outcome. You can work hard to make sure your tree bears fruits instead of growing to be a barren tree. Sometimes you anticipate your tomorrows without realising how today will end. You forget yesterdays like you'll never see it again. What if today you set before the sun? What if tomorrow you never rise again? Has your yesterdays prepared you for what to come? Have you done enough to sustain whatever you're leaving behind? I haven't. God knows I'm not prepared. My travelled road is full of pot holes. The path before me is so unclear. I am hopeful that I will do enough in the future to save me from my doom. I am investing everything I have to score in my future. For I realise that my past has been so revolting. But the thought of exiting before my time scares me so much that I tend to not think about it. Ignorance is bliss, right? But how can I feign ignorance when I are enlightened? How can I unread what I have learned? So 24 hours. Have I planted the right seed to climb to heaven? Have I done enough to reserve a safe haven? Or am I digging deeper into hellfire? With so many informations being spread around, how do you know you're getting the right one? For that i pray for His mercy.
