Fasting or Feasting month ?

Bulan Puasa or Fasting month is once a year event where we remember the unfortunates by not consuming any food nor drinks when the sun is up. By doing so, we 'feel' a little bit of the hunger some may have to face 365 days a year.

It is a holy month where our mind and soul is cleansed as well.

In real world, this is also the month the believers are broken into 2. One group became saints and do more good than usual. They stop throwing rubbish on the floor, start obeying all the traffic rules etc. The other group starts to hide all the wrong doing. Think of all kind of excuses to allow them NOT to fast. Disappear during day time and come out party whole night long etc.

But increasingly what is even more interesting is ... Fasting Month has become Break-Fast Month. Nowadays, there isn't much things left for spiritual meanings ... Fasting Month is now a Happy month because there are a lot of great offers on food and drinks ! The purpose of fasting is to break fast !

The unfortunates may still be thought off, the soul may still be holy during the short moments during praying. But it became so routine that the true meaning of Fasting Month has faded away. Now we celebrate one whole month of great food during night time and then followed by Ramadan - a day and night feast.

Happy Feasting Month ! Just a few more days to go ...
