Women and The Force

I believe women know how to use the Force. Here are some examples :

Mind Trick
Definition : Mind tricks refer to a spectrum of Force powers which influenced the thoughts of sentient creatures, most commonly used to coerce into agreement by suggestion through voice manipulation, or to cause one to reveal information.

E.g : "Sayang, I don't have any shoes to wear, can I get this shoe?".
Result : You ended up paying for the 100th shoe for her without noticing it.

Force Scream

Definition : Force Scream was an involuntary reflex of a Dark Jedi, emitted as a product of strong frustration, rage, or grief.
E.g : " Gooo Awaaaaayyyyy! "

Result : Yeah, you heard her, go away :P


Force Rage
Definition : Force Rage was a dark side Force ability. The Force user would tap into his or her innermost fears, pain and hate, converting them into intense anger. The user could then channel the anger to increase his or her own speed, strength, and ferocity.
E.g : " Why are you always like this ?!!!! *lecture* ..F%$# .. *lecture* ...... "
Result : Kena lecture la , apa lagi :P

Guys, we can always defend ourselves with this method :

Force Absorb

Definition : Force Absorb or Force Absorption was a Force ability, that enabled the user to absorb energy, usually harmful, and use it to strengthen their connection to the Force.
How it works : Just listen and clear your thoughts and banyak bersabar je la hehe...

The light and the dark

Mixed feelings today. Bitter , angry , useless , weak and confused. Felt like I've let down everyone today. I dunno, like a drug side-effect that makes you go into depression, I'm feeling unhappy but I can't pinpoint what it is. I always have this complex feeling where I get the impression that I'm very useless and have no value in this world. I don't feel needed kinda thing. This stems from a lot of factors like - failure to perform my tasks as perfect as I should be , failure to organize my time , failure to organize my memory and other things. Failure to do these things will result in people having no respect for me and I became more of an annoyance rather than someone important.

Despite being looked upon as a leadership material by some of my peers , I dunno where does that impression came from. During my team building session, they mentioned that I really took care of my other weaker members all the time during jungle trekking while at the same time rally them to focus on the team's goal. How I organized the strategies and man power available to complete the tasks. But I guess with different people, I gave different impressions all the time. I'm only more serious and more in control of everything at work . Away from work, I'm more relaxed . Sometimes maybe too relaxed. That's why I ended up getting daily lectures from family and loved ones.

If I'm upset , I normally keep quiet. I read somewhere that there is thing called righteous anger and un-righteous anger. Righteous anger allows you to freely express your anger if it is over something you think is right. For un-righteous anger , you normally go on a berserker rage and start destroying everything around for no or trivial reason. I hope I could channel my angers the right way someday. It's not good to keep things inside too long. Like Jack Nicholson said on Anger Management - there are two types of angry people : Implosive and Explosive. Explosive is the person who screams and yells at the cashier of a grocery store, while Implosive is the cashier , who quietly accepts the screaming and yelling until one fine day , comes to work and starts shooting everybody in the store. I can categorically see myself as the implosive type. My angry side rarely pops up , but when it does , things can be ugly. You can lecture me , scream and bully me today , but when I implode , please run away .

As my title suggests, there will always be 2 sides of everything. Good guys stay in the light , bad guys in the dark. And as I have stated before , being bad is a journey. Sometimes even the good guy can be tempted to go to the dark side. Many times , it is not by choice. There are events that will pit the good guy to do something he considers as being in the dark side. If you have been watching Smallville , Lex Luthor was not born bad . He became bad because of his father . People hated him because he carried the Luthor name. No matter how hard he tries to show people that he is good , events somehow led people to still think he is bad . In the end , he lost hope and slowly began his journey to the dark side. Personally , I thought the writers did an excellent job with his character.

You will be a better person if you are able to go into the dark side and still have the consciousness to come back to the light. That will be a real test of character.

The wrong impression

Again , these are trying times for Muslims again. Another movie called 'Fitna' has tainted another different picture of Muslims. Any Tom, Dick & Harry can take sentences from a religious book and interpret it the wrong way. I am sad that my fellow non-Muslim friends are only given a very false treatment of Islam through the media. Media is a VERY powerful tool to change one's perception. Like how whitening ads are subliminally suggesting that being fairer gets you jobs , recognition and attention . What is happening right now is that the media is trying to subliminally tell the world that Muslims are bunch of AK-47 wielding , trigger happy bastards killing people off in the name of God.

Thanks to a certain Bin Laden fella , the whole world is led to believe nowadays that every Muslim you meet is strapped with a dynamite on his chest / having suicidal tendencies to bomb things up. Pictures of Arabs with AK-47s and then the screen cuts to Sept 11 were played on air strategically throughout the day to feed our brains that Islam is a religion for terrorists.

You cannot fault those who think so , because they are fed by the media to think like so. In my opinion , the person responsible for 9/11 just so happens to be a Muslim. But does his opinion about the world represents the other Muslims in this planet ? who number in Millions ?

I detest over what has happened to the innocent lives that perished during 9/11 . However, instead of launching a hate campaign on an individual , a terrorist .. the media attacked his religion . Not over what a psycho that guy is , but over his faith.

I fear this. I fear that one day you are prosecuted not because of what you have done , but more on what religion you practice. I wish they can see the light , see the truth . A typical non-Muslim would think "oh Muslim , kalau curi potong tangan , baling batu , bom , dynamite , Ak-47 , janggut , serban .... aaahhhh!" . Things you always see on TV.

I'm a firm believer in having balance and moderation . Those bearded dudes you see on TV with their AK-47s are too obsessed , misled and extreme . They took the teachings a bit way towards the extreme . God does not encourage violence . Maybe they think the more extreme they are , the more Muslim they can be. Now that's not right. Carrying rifles when you don't even respect the basic teachings and values of Islam will not make you better Muslim. Come on.

Peace be upon you.
