What Does Hari Raya Means To You?

Hari Raya..

it's when young people play fireworks all day..

it's the time when people wants to be the most beautiful.. or the most handsome among all..

it's the time when furniture stores get the most wealthy customers..

it's the time when women cashed out all money to go to the best beauty salons to get their nails done, even if it costed $30 per hand.

it's the time when people buy so much cakes and biscuits, and sweets, eventhough they knew there are odds that biscuits will be wasted in the end..

it's the time when tailors are busy and charges their customer with high prices..

it's the time when people start to arrange their furnitures..

COME ON!!

what is it with you people? why do you need to do all that? what does "celebrating raya" means to you?

are you visiting people to ask forgiveness or are you comparing houses?

are you going to people's houses to show off?

and what's with all the beauty?

what, if not beauty, cannot celebrate raya is it?

and about furniture, seriously? what about the last year's furnitures? did you throw it already? my god!

now, welcome to her house. i don't think you would step your feet in her house, am i right? because comparing to your house, her house is totally lost. because she's not beautiful enough. look at her dress! you're too rich to enter her house. her hair, is nothing to you.

see? how could you lavishly celebrate your raya, thinking that there are people who celebrate their raya like this? they don't have what you have now. but they aren't complaing. hardly. they can't complain how they have no cupboard to put all the craps you display on your cupboard, they have no shoes. how could you?!!

anyway, selamat hari raya to all muslimin and muslimah..

***actually, i don't know if that girl is even a muslim. i just google "poverty". but, you get my points, right? =P"
