Heedlessness

Heedlessness affects the faculty of thought and restrains us from intellectual thinking. Apparently, we hardly take the time to engross in deep thinking. Often, we choose to be at a heedless state to escape ourselves from the many responsibilities that are ‘burdened’ upon us. But, have we ever thought how; long and how far can we run away from those responsibilities?

If we try to reflect back and think of all the little happenings in life, we would see and marvel at the wonders of God’s creation. Sadly, we frequently commit ourselves in unneccessary thinking that leads us to the misapprehension of our roles and responsibilities as a being. For instance, we always find the time to reflect on worldly affairs such as on our endless love and relationship issues that are not that much worth of thinking compared to issues that should be of priority such as ‘what should i and shoudn’t i do today to make me a better person’, ‘what would have happened if i woke up this morning without the ablity to speak or see? am i prepared for that?’.

Unfortunately, being in a heedless state is surprisingly a cultural heritage. Have we ever encountered a situation whereby we think a lot about an issue that is worth of thinking, but then, the people around us would ask us not to think too much about it? Well, i have. So, i believe it is crucial for us to encourage deep thinking as it may lead us back to the realization of our roles and responsibilities as a being in God’s world. And hopefully from there, we will try to do something, make a small move to acheive God’s blessings and to plant the seeds for the crops that we can harvest and benefit in the Hereafter.
