I guess everyone asks these questions sooner or later
-
beyond how the world looks beyond those “eleven minutes”
-
Love is a sacred gift from God, but the world has messed up so badly
it becomes a curse
-
anyway reading that book, infusion of biblical and worldly precepts of love and sex
albeit rather pornographic in its descriptions...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Song of Solomon 2:7:
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you-
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
its strange to tell a malay muslim guy I made friends with during my guard duty:
-
I don’t worry, If God wants to give me a life companion, He will, if not He wont,
After all, God is Great (Allāhu Akbar) , and He can do anything
-
and he agreed.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
ReplyDeleteI remember reciting that in front of the class four years ago. I have read "Eleven Minutes" and it is one of my favorite books. May I ask, are you against that book?
not really, I feel that it is a very well written book...
ReplyDeletesome of the values in the book don't really tally with mine though(in regard to how the author juxtaposed sexual promiscuity with religion), but its just a personal view... other issues the book points out in regard to love and sex are very insightful though
