Free to choose….

These days I’m thinking too much, which is the requirement of a certain decision that i have to make on my own. I believed growing up would be very liberating but I never knew making decisions independantly could drive me to the edge. Some times I wish someone who knew better would make the choices for me. I guess that as you grow the more you learn the less you know.
In case you’re wondering about the matter I have to ponder upon ….its related to the academics facet of my life, but that is not the subject of this blog. I was going through some article today on surrogate mothers in India,that how poor women rent their wombs to complete strangers in return for a better life (like living in apartments) . It provoked me to think that despite enjoying all the basic necessities of life and more, I still get worried and concerned over small things. While there are women(also men, I don’t mean to be gender biased) out there who are going through so many hardships in life (which I can’t even begin to imagine) just to achieve the level of comfort I already take for granted. I sit here fretting and agonizing over a small decision, when I should be thankful that atleast my choices are not governed by dire conditions.
In the end I’d like to thank Allah(swt) for his blessings and pray that may the entire humanity find peace and harmony in them and amongst them. (Allah willing)
In addition to the above post I'd like to share a video here with you which is relevant to the topic of my post here. Hope you'll appreciate it:
