the danger of eliminating rationale from safety, science and responsibilities.
someone told me to be careful to comment about the recent incidence in Kuala Lumpur for fear of being insensitive and getting derail from Islamic teachings for questioning negligence and parents' motivation to send kids at such young age.
before i let myself getting backlashes, let me put this in a nice sentence, the mindset to reject any idea or fact or criticism is not just disturbing, but also very dangerous. it's like the deniers of global warming. it is not us. it is You Know Who. huh?
so tell me who imprisoned Ibn Al Haytham for delivering his thought in scientific thinking and skepticism?
without his work we would not have camera or understand planetary system and discover wonders - we will not learn if we stop questioning and improvise ourselves.
we cannot simply discard people's dissatisfaction and angers from this tragedy by calling them unsympathetic.
the creation of the universe itself undergoes scientific process and law of physics, that always been challenged and questioned over and over again by scientists. a concept that not only borrowed by Ibn Al Haytham from the greek but passed down to John Locke and to today's generation. the same scientific principle should be applied when dealing with the incident in Kuala Lumpur. giving excuses to fate and dogma - are just lazy and un-Islamic.
think about the kids, we are not going to live for them, let alone face the challenges for them. they will live their lives in their time. our time is now - and it is our duty to prepare them for their time.
"our children is not our children, they are the sons and daughters of life, longing for itself, they came through you but not from you. you may give them your love, but not your thought, for they have their own thoughts" quoted from kahlil gibran.
i don't think by questioning the negligence and irresponsibility will make me less human. because God is All Knowing and Wise.
