Thoughts on Eid. a little rant, you might say.
Maybe you've heard about Eid maybe you haven't, basically Eid Al-Fitr is considered as the day of victory for moslems after a month of fasting in Ramadhan cleansing our souls, and it's the day as if we're reborn as an innocent child.
On this day, moslems use it as a momentum to start over, to ask forgiveness from others and as a momentum to reunite with family back home.
In Ramadhan we try to do our best to do good deeds, once Eid comes we feel like we've just accomplished a mission, a holy one, and we celebrate it with such festivity.
But while we're preparing for Eid, we tend to forget that we're supposed to continue doing those good deeds, we try so hard to look our best, try so hard to celebrate Eid in a perfect way, and when things go a little not as planned, we get mad, our moods turn bad, and we hurt the feelings of others.
I feel like we're so burdened and pressured by the need to have Eid so perfectly that it makes us forget the true essence of Eid, which is to do good, be forgiving, and have a clean heart.
BUT do we really have a heart big enough to ask for forgiveness and to forgive? OR WHAT WE DO TODAY IS JUST MERELY AN ANNUAL ROUTINE?
I don't know, i just feel like it is merely a routine. That we think so much on what shown on the outside than what's inside our hearts. I feel like, getting together and asking forgiveness on Eid has become just a form of formality,
Maybe is it because we're taking things for granted?
