I took loads and loads of pretty pictures.

It has come to my attention that I focuss too much on the evils of Israel and the plight of the people in Gaza.



I think this needs to be rectified. First of all, I offer a little focus on Somalia.

I hope you have all learnt something.

There is nothing to fear apart from fear itself.

Or is that totally false? Surely fear is a survival instinct where people ignore it at their own peril?

The title and first like is an adaptation of something Dune, where the Bene Gesserit had a "Litany Against Fear":

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I dont think I agree with the litany from a work of fiction. Fear needs to be respected and listened to, even if not always given in to.

So it's that time of year again! :D... No not winter, christmas and SALES but Hajj, sacrifices and EID 😃

My parents just mentioned going on hajj and stuff which reminded me of something. Couple of years ago my parents mentioned that we might all go to Umrah.

My immediate thoughts:

OMG i'm not ready! i can't go yet!

What if i don't *feel* the spirtualness, the closeness, the awe, the love

What if i just can't concentrate?!

What do i tell mum and dad, though? I can't say I don't want to go

:S

We didn't end up going.

But I now realise, that was all just Shaytaan putting me off from going. Whispering in my ear. Trying to create fear by using one of my greatest fears.
