I find it funny whenever a person says, "I'm not in the mood. Someone just ruined my day!"
So you're unhappy, moody, grumpy. You walk around with your sad-sour-face on. Not smiling. Not saying HI back to those who say HI to you. You're bitter to people around you. Because you're not in the mood. And why again are you not in the mood? SOMEONE ruined your day!
So what if someone ruined your day? Does that gives you the right to be rude to people? Someone is being rude to you, you behave likewise to those around you. Is that how it works? You're not going anywhere when you repel rudeness with rudeness. Why the need to spread rudeness or bitterness or hatred? Don't you think we have enough of that in today's world? Okay, I'm sorry. This is not my point initially.
Most importantly, WHY on earth do you let someone or even anyone ruined your day when you have the OPTION to not let them ruin it? What I'm trying to say is that, how good or bad a day is does not depends on anyone. It depends on you! You, a one special creature.
Yes, you're special. Allah is Beautiful and Allah created you beautifully. A pair of eyes, ears, hands, feet, not forgetting that beautiful lips. Then there is this amazing thing inside of you that beats. He also gives you this extraordinary tool which makes you different from the animals. A tool that you used everyday. How this tool works is not in our knowledge. He is the One who created you with a brain. And only He knows how your brain really works. MasyaAllah.
You're given a brain to think, to make decision. You, given the special tool - brain, have the option to CHOOSE. You have the power, the privilege to choose. WHY do you choose to let anyone ruined your day? Why? Okay, so maybe someone happens to be extra unkind to you today. Or not returning your smile. Or talk to you in a harsh manner. But so what? They're the ones who are having a bad day. Not you. Why do you choose to ruin your own day just because someone is having a bad day?
My point is, you have the power to choose! So choose WISELY. When people around you are not smiling to you then that's fine. You show them how to smile. When people around you are treating you unkind then that's okay. You show them how to be kind. When people around you are negative, not a problem. You show them how to be positive. If you think you can't handle their rudeness, negativeness, unfriendliness, then leave them. Let them be. Pray for Allah to help them with whatever problems that they're having.
A good day or a bad day? Your pick. Your choice. Not anyone else, but you.
This serves first as a reminder for myself. And then for you who happens to come across this post. If I have been rude, unfriendly, unkind, to you then please forgive me. G'night! Salams. xxx.
PS: What happen if someone just happened to be in a bad mood? Feeling all restless, feeling like slapping someone in the face. When ask why behave like that, reply - hormones. In that case, bawa berwudhu. Then bawa tidor. Or makan. Or berlari. Supaya inda marah marah. Or kalau kan slap pun, slap lah bantal. Jangan orang. Bantal saja. No matter how bad it gets, just try not to be rude. Before you act rude, try imagining someone be rude to you. Would you like that?
