Learning Life

Dear Memoir,

When the archangel first approached the Prophet Muhammad at a cave in the side of Mount Hiraq, the archangel instructed the prophet to read. The prophet, who was an illiterate said that he did not know how to read. After the 3rdtime the Archangel said,' Read! In the name of your Lord, who has created all that exists, and who has created men from a clot of congealed blood'. (Surah Al-Alaq) And that is the first verse of the Quran.

That put cat in a thoughtful mood tonight. They say curiosity kills the cat. But there are still so many things to see and learn. Even without going too far away, cat is learning something new everyday just by logging in to Facebook and blog walking, ohh.. and also 'google'ing.

Someone was asking, why does cat keep on reading, asking and writing. Well, how else would cat know about things, people and places? Sometimes, just by reading, you would know what is happening elsewhere in the world. You would also have different views and can form your own opinion on an issue without just following what people say. You learn to differentiate facts from myths. You get to know the mistakes done by the elders in the past and see if you can avoid it.

There are still a lot of things out there and a lifetime will not be enough to gather all that knowledge. And the only way to access it is by continuing to read and learn and meet new friends.

Signing off,
Simply Cat
