sometimes on a crowded bus, you can see some passengers who are sitting on the outer seats whilst keeping the seat next to them (the inner seat or 'window' seat) empty. then, when you approach them & say "Excuse me" so that they'll either move inside or give way to allow you to take that aforesaid vacant place, they'll look up at you and give you a blank stare of absolute innocence as if to say "huh? you want the inside seat izzit??" SO you spend the next few seconds trying to squeeze past them to get to that empty seat with them looking so harrassed as if all the discomfort is entirely your fault. And i'm juz the hapless passenger who's trying to get a seat in anticipation of a long bus ride! Really, inconsiderate people such as these (and those who refuse to move to the back of the bus to make way fer boarding passengers) should be punished, fined, jailed or.. or.. Wadever~!
anyhow, i juz got back frm fridae prayers. today's khutbah was sumthing about keeping yr heart & mind devoid of malicious thoughts of ill-will towards fellow humans. yep, that's the gist of it. i think. must try to remember this the next time i venture out of the house.. damn humans juz irritate me to no end sometimes...
