Blue

Last Friday, went for the MAS (Muslim American Society) Dinner and Talk. A talk given by an attorney who encouraged all the ISM (Islamic Society of Milwaukee) members to not be afraid of telling the truth. Some of the Muslims here in this state keep themselves away from the community, but the attorney said this is what really wrong with the society. Most cases that he tries to defend need funds and supports from the Muslims. Hearing all this makes me feel bad, a tool that makes the Muslims scared, not physical like what the American did to the Japanese after the World War II, but it is indirect prison to the Muslims in America only by the enforcement of the laws such as Patriot Act that allows the FBI or authority to enter any houses without notification to the owner (even without the knowledge of the owner -macam rumah kena pecah masuk, tapi tindakan ni dihalalkan... zalim!) and searching whatever stuffs they are looking for, this is what told by the attorney. ISA in Malaysia?? Hmmm quite similar to this, but the way this law being enforced is torturing one inner part. Really horrible coz there are some Muslims being held accused for nonsense reason, e.g. support an Islamic organization helping to raise fund for Muslims in need like the Palestine, crazy... but that's the truth... that's why the attorney told we the ISM people to stand behind them upholding the right for the minorities that are mostly the Muslims.

Sad... but this is the peace that we enjoy, a fake peace with so many injustice. When I was going down from the prayer hall to the function area, a man walked by my side with his baby. Waaa, the eyes!! I was amazed!! The eyes!! It's blue!! Like a doll's eyes. I don't know why the blueness attracts me so much.

Blue... hmmm why it's blue? So many people I encounter like blue, also. Why?? Just a matter of preference I think... The sky is blue, the ocean can be blue... one of the colors created by God to make this life colorful... seeing the blue sky... it's blue... seeing the baby's eyes.... it's blue... seeing so many things.... again, it's blue colored on the surface...

Why and why people like blue?? This is not about other colors, only blue... why blue?? But why people relate blue with negative conotation... if you walk in Petaling Street, the 'tauke' sometimes might ask you, "Mau blue ka??" Why??

Why blue?

Sem lepas belajar, "there is no color at all, it's only a matter of sense... how can you prove to people the attributes and the matters properties of a color?? It's only a matter of sensation..." Hmmm...
