To abolish acceptance without thought, that is my dream.

I am not here to tell you what is right and what is wrong. I am here to ask you to think for yourself what you think is right and what is wrong. That's right. Not what your parents, teachers, community or anyone else have told you to think but what you yourself think.

So you have been told that your non-religious, non-practising and homosexual friends will all go to hell. But do you really think it's okay to punish people for being different when it is your God (if you believe in one) who made them different in the first place? Is this really what an Omnipotent and All-loving God would want you to do?

If you have thought about it and it makes sense to you, then carry on. If it doesn't, then don't stop thinking. Open your mind and listen to what both sides have to say before deciding for yourself which makes sense to you. It's scary, I know but I hope you will take on this journey. And I hope my blog will help provoke some thoughts and questions you never knew you had!

Peace to you all!

Firstly, I would like to thank you for stopping by. I am very excited to start this blog and I really do hope that, not only will it be of benefit to me, it would be to you as well. The plan is to fill up this blog with things that you may not know about; though I bet it would instead mostly be things that you have always known but never really gave much thought. You know, things like human rights, freedom of speech and all that. Especially if you also come from the Abode of Peace, Brunei, and have enjoyed much luxury. Because I feel that there is a high chance that this blog will be highly misunderstood, let me clarify that I am not in any way intending to force any opinions on anyone. It is also very unlikely that I would ridicule anyone's belief on purpose and I apologise beforehand if I do end up hurting anyone's feelings. As such, I hope you will show me the same courtesy and not try to force-feed me yours either. As one gutsy woman once told a professor of Al-Azhar University: 'you can believe in stones but don't throw them at me.'

All in all, I'm just trying to spread around some thoughts so do have a think yourself. Anyway, thinking for yourself is never a bad thing.

Much love :)
