Office blues

Sitting in my dreary office, reading the news...

My daily routine of staring blankly at a screen, thinking of how to work on reports back at my apartment (where the work is actually done) and putting dream scenarios on scrap paper is getting to me.

So I downloaded the blogger app, and am trying to say something meaningful in the off-chance I'd read it later, and spark an hour of more scenario planning.

Here goes: Yesterday, I was in speakers corner arguing with a Christian man on miracles... He then quotes me some verses from the Quran after a bit of intense googling, and awaits my response. I read the verse in Arabic, and proceed to tear him apart by saying his translation was wrong...

It turns out, that we were both out of context; and my ego got the best of me. By assuming that my reading was correct without even looking into context (in this case, the previous verse explained context), I was guilty of a sin... Pride.

Its Ironic how many sins come up when arguing religion.

And the whole day had that same recurring theme: From the born-agains claiming to be sin-free, to the raised voices and crass comments from the dissenters, and finally the petty squabbling between the preachers...

A little reflection goes a long way in purifying my thoughts and arguments, and Inshalla, speakers corner hasn't seen the last of (a more refined) me.

Inshalla...

Connected Blogger to tumblr

Test... This should mean my blogs post to tumblr, and tumblr remains my photo log... Hopefully.

Edit: Tumblr remains photo, and video log.
