Well, tis been over a year, and not much has happened.
Actually, I suppose I have. I am off to start my collegiate years. At the end of each year I like to see how I improved. So here it goes...
Uh, I write better essays. Haha.
I think I've actually gotten smarter. All those AP cramming has paid off.
I'm not as scared of the future as I use to be.
I pieced together a better understanding of Islam.
I have a better understanding what we all are fighting against.
Now the latter is quite imperative to me for many reasons. The most significant reason is that there is a force out there, two forces, actually. Those two forces have generally been depicted in every profitable imagination out there. We've seen in books, in Hollywood, in ancient folklore, etc. It's quite interesting to see that the greatest stories have a moral allusion of the battle between good and evil. But we must ask ourselves why is this trend consistent throughout human history? How is it possible that this idea has become instinct, almost, in the human perception?
The answer to that is simple: Because it is real. Unfortunately my answer to that was grammatically incorrect, but you get the idea.
It begins, or rather.. continues. InshAllah.
