of three wishes

did any of you watch Three Wishes today, 10.30am - 11.30am on channel 5?

i did. and it made me ponder about wars, and lives, and sacrifices..

seeing the soldiers being hugged and kissed, simply surrounded by their loved ones at their homecoming event, when the officer said "fall out" and the soldiers broke into smiles of relief and happiness..

oohh~~ i was just so touched.

as much as they're americans, they're also humans. men of families, men of nation who go to war under the order of their country.

and some of them got injured, some of them died, while the lucky ones, truly lucky i'd say, finally got to go home.

mcm sedih gitu. and im not talking about the soldiers featured in the show just now, but soldiers all over the world. hmm... they fight, uncertain about their own safety, whether they were going to be kidnapped, bombed, ambushed, or shot.. only God knows how hard their situation is..

alangkah baiknye klw kat dunia ni tak de peperangan, tak perlu ade peperangan. jadi takde sape2 yang perlu takut, baik keluarge si askar, ataupon mangsa perang, kedua2 saling hidup dgn kebimbangan.. one is afraid to get a phonecall, or a knock on the door, that may suddenly bring heart-breaking news, the other one is afraid of going to the shop, or letting his/her child go out to play, for a tragedy might happen..

memanglah kite kat singapore ni sukar sangat nak empathise, nak bayangkan diri kite dlm keadaan yang serupa dgn mereka2 di luar sane... sbb kite belum tempuh war yang sebenar.. but for me, watching the show was enough to make me realise how peace is important, how family is important, how brotherhood is important. and how disruption of peace and understanding can bring unwanted doom and sadness. and loss.

just to be back home, safe and sound, is very hard and seemingly impossible for the soldiers out there. can you imagine??

i dont care whether they are soldiers or freedom fighters... in the end, they're just humans and they have their own families..




i pray that you will be safe. and ultimately, i pray that you will find the hidayah from Allah.. Ameen~
