Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position.

The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
Or the open hand held out and waiting.
Choose:
For we meet by one or the other.
- Carl Sandburg

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. - Mohandas K. Gandhi

 Hemmm ini antara petikan pembacaan aku hari ini dari http://www.wisdomquotes.com/topics/life/ . Menarik ??? Memang la ya, tapi cuba kalu kita ingati semula semua pelajaran yang telah kita terima selama ini, dari kelas agama, Al-Qur'an etc etc etc  maka kita akan nampak penghampiran permahamannya. dalam bentuk berbeza tetapi membawa maksud yang sama.
