2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Change is inevitable.

It is natural to change. To remain unchanged is against nature. You actually need effort to stay the same. As 2nd Law of Thermodynamics state:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy. 

The last time I studied chemistry was during A-level. I can barely remember 1st Law of Thermodynamics, and I don't think we studied the second law. If we did, I completely forgot about it.

Entropy has many definitions, for simple minds like yours truly, we can look at entropy as a measure of disorder. The concept of the 2nd law suggests that system naturally progress from order to disorder. This means work or energy is needed to produce an ordered state. You need effort to be in order. To stay the same.

I don't know if my interpretation fits the thermodynamics world, neither do I care, I just think the law somehow proves my point. I'm not here to teach anyway.

My point is, everything changes. You change, I change. And yes, interests and priorities change. Especially with time..and other factors.

Whether it is for the better or worse..we don't and probably won't know.







There is one exception to the rule though: 
The one and only thing stable and constant;
Allah.

Looking out




 You admire the stars you see, but the vast sky has so many things hidden still.

Allahumma ballighna Ramadhan.


I'm such in a good mood right now simply because Ramadhan is finally here! I don't want to be cliché but I really have been looking forward to this month especially because I've been distracted by a couple of issues lately.

I'm refocusing on my priorities. On what matters most. I'm easily distracted, so I hope I can get back on track this Ramadhan. Hait! Let's do this!

Of course it's better to be istiqamah when doing good deeds, rather than seasonal. But sometimes we need that accelerator, that enzyme, that extra push to do more. Especially when you are lazy Smak.


:)




To improve, God willing.

Chillax~

"Chill la. If it is meant to be, it will be. Have faith in His plans."
That was one of my tweets from last month. Regarding what, you may ask. It is obvious, isn't it? Jodoh.
Being more than a quarter of century old now, I've noticed that this has become the most popular topic in my circle of friends. Especially women. 

Jodoh.

Although I sometimes do join the worry wagon just to have some fun, my usual reply would be;

"Kalau ada jodoh, ada lah."

Isn't every single thing we do, everything about us, has been destined from the very moment we were in our mothers' womb? So why the worry? Why, if I may ask, that we stressed ourselves over these matters as if we have the power to determine how things go. 

Admittedly, it is a pretty difficult concept to grasp, this destiny (read: takdir, qada qadar) thing. If I were to elaborate on this, I would probably run out of words (due to my limited vocab, haha). So I won't. This is perhaps for another day. 

I actually just want to share this article on being single that I think makes good sense:

http://www.saudilife.net/marriage/35923-while-you-are-single

Too often we hear singles saying ‘But I want to complete half of my deen!’ and I am always tempted to ask, ‘In what state is the other half?’

Marriage isn't everything.
