Definition of 'life'

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

everyone's getting restless with tsunami-like disasters occuring all over the world. Earthquake in China, Nargis in Myanmar, Naqbah in Palestine, Tun Mahathir's quitting UMNO, Obama vs Clinton, Lebanon and Champions' League's Chelsea vs Man Utd.

Once a friend of mine asked,

F : do you have any tv series in your hard disk?
M : nope, only House season 3.
F : you don't have a life la

the conversation went something similar to above.

My passion lies in 4 inter-related subjects - Islam, politics, electronic gadgets, and sports especially football. Obama's recent win in Oregon interests me more than who's winning American Idol.

It depends on the definition of 'life' that you hold onto. I watch series too, but I am no fanatic to most series. If you think you are super cool by watching series, then so be it.

I find it super cool to watch Liverpool - Arsenal for instance.

It's a subjective topic. No answer is a right or wrong answer. Debate all you want, if you wish to do so.

One thing for sure, it's not cool posting your pictures going clubbing, holding a can of beer and lighting a cigarette. To me, I will call this an 'empty' life. empty = no life. There will come a day when you/I will regret this wasted time.

Dari an-Nawwas bin Sam'an r.a., katanya: "Saya bertanya kepada Rasulullah s.a.w.
perihal kebajikan dan dosa. Beliau s.a.w. lalu bersabda: "Kebajikan itu ialah baiknya budipekerti dan dosa itu ialah apa-apa yang engkau rasakan bimbang dalam dada - yakni hati - dan engkau tidak suka kalau hal itu diketahui oleh orang banyak." (Riwayat Muslim).

MEN IN BLACK

till next time

Spot on, mate. But it gets tricky once what's wrong being perceived to be right.
