Recently, I've taken up reading some holy books as per the suggestion of my Aunt and my Mother. I finished reading one of the books and I learned so much about my religion, culture and customs.
See, the meaning of enlightenment is awakening to the ultimate truth by which man is freed from the endless cycle of personal reincarnations to which all men are otherwise subject. Woah, so deep. But how exactly do we reach such a state? Well, it isn't easy. I mean, every single thing you do, think and say can affect whether or not you will be able to reach enlightenment. You must leave all worldly desires and have complete and utter faith in God and must never sway from your goal. Being human, this seems very difficult; and it is. But what's the point if we don't try? Nobody's perfect but we do aspire to be so.

As soon as I fell, I thought I died. I've never been so scared before. The first thing I said was "God, I'm dead". After I assured myself that I hadn't died, I realized that I couldn't feel my legs, at all. (I thought I'd broke both my legs. But I hadn't.) Four men came running and picked me up and sat me in front of a dairy parlor. They gave me water to drink and to wash my face. By this time around 20-30 people had huddled around me; they thought I died or something. I went into a complete state of shock which I didn't recover from until a couple of hours later. The car's owner checked to make sure if I'd broken anything and then asked me where I was going. I started crying when he asked me this because I was going to buy a pen refill to study for my mathematics exam that I had a couple of days later; my finals.
I got X-rays done for my shoulder, spine and arm. I have a soft-tissue injury in my wrist and my neck curvature has become completely straight. I have to go to physiotherapy soon. MEH.
I'm sorry this post is so dry. BLEH. I'll post more interesting stuff soon! :D
