This has been bugging me it has been eating me up inside it’s been an anchor weighing me down. Religious people piss me off so badly that I sometimes wonder why they have the audacity to claim and think that they are the ones who are walking on the right path the path to heaven. Don’t get me wrong I am happy for them and I admire their strength to avoid worldly temptations and everything that does not contribute to our savings account for getting into heaven, but who gives them the right to condemn people who are simply just trying to fight the devil and find the light.
I am not a saint and I remember pointing this out on my first blog post, but I most certainly do not deserve to be told (directly nor indirectly) that I am on the path to hell! Seriously you don’t know me you have no idea what I am doing, No clue about what goes on in my mind and most certainly you do not know my motives and intentions in doing what I do.
This young lady that had me so mad decided that she has the power to determine who goes where, I choose to believe that she had the best intentions in mind for doing what she did but it just didn’t sit with me right. I was offended and insulted, because she does not know me! Apart from the mask I let her see AND LETS KEEP THIS IN MIND WE ALL HAVE MASKS (FRONTS) THAT WE PUT UP IN PUBLIC AND WE HAVE A DIFFERENT FACE FOR DIFFERENT SETTINGS WE HAVE A DAUGHTER MASK SISTER MASK WIFE MASK EMPLOYEE/ EMPLOYER MASK WE HAVE MASKS FOR EVERY SITUATION AND THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT (trust me on this one I am majoring in psychology and I’ve been studying communication science so I am honestly not making any of this up, it is not just an idea it’s a text book fact)
Anyway so back to this religious young lady who managed to get into my head posted a picture on Facebook. The picture had two staircases, the one on the right leading to heaven and the one on the left to hell and so she tagged a whole lot of us some on the stairs leading to heaven, some still in-between and some on the stairs to hell. Take a wild guess where I was placed, yes I according to her am on the path to the burning scorching eternal fires of hell. My first reaction was (mais pour quoi?) I must admit I felt bad but then I decided it’s just a picture so I went on with my jolly life. However as the days passed the thought just kept coming back to me and the answer as to why she believes I am on the guest list to hell never arrived. Clearly I’m still bothered by the fact that I was tagged on that picture of hers.
So what gives mere humans the right to do such a thing? I admit I haven’t been the best Muslim young lady out there but I’m not that horrible I try my best to be an ideal person but I am certainly not perfect I have flaws and weaknesses but that doesn’t give anyone the right to judge my loyalty and my faith towards my creator. This is how he created me a flawed young lady who will find her way into the light and out of the darkness. ‘Rome wasn’t conquered in a day’ it will take time but I will be the ideal Muslim some day.
I may not dress like an ideal Muslim most of the time but at least I respect myself and my religion. Just because you dress more religious and act more religious does not make you a better person.
I hate people who think they are better than others we are all equals we are mere humans we are all going to die and answer to our creator, so don’t judge me nor decide my fate because as far as I’m concerned you did not create me, you do not feed me nor shelter me.
I’m glad that’s of my chest.
