Lefty

Why is it that we always associate the left side is always wrong?

Left handed people are said to be the devils advocate.

Left-leaning ideologies are evil.

Left is a sign of bad luck.

Well its becoming a norm since the creation of mankind to discriminate people and distinguish them by different sects or cultures or abilities or even in this case, ideologies.

Who determines whats wrong or whats right? Do we have the rights to say that I am wrong and U are right? When religion comes into play, yes the only one that is truly omnipotent and omniscient with limitless vast of knowledge is GOD. But who said that u can be a representative of Him and say that He approve of what u say and U are right?

I believe that each and every one of us are entitled to our own beliefs, our own faith, our own opinions, our own ideologies, our own thoughts, our own perspectives, our own philosophies and that we are absolutely unique for each and every way and that every one have their own mind as a result of our own experience, motivation, agenda, knowledge, and influences.

Therefore I ask again. What is right and what is wrong? I believe that people should not be indoctrinated by other people or figures or ideologies as we have the god damn rights to our own beliefs. Knowledge is vast and absolute. Therefore one should not be satisfied for what they know till to their graves. Prophet Muhammad said that PBUH.

Back to the first question, why is it that we always associate the left side is always wrong? When we talk about ideologies, in terms of Karl Marx and Socialism, the image are always Hitler, Nazism, Anger, Hatred, Mother Russia, Bad, Evil, Fascist.

But do u even read about socialism? do u even research about it? Or do u just accept what America told u? That capitalism is good, democracy is the way, consumerism benefits all, privatization induces growth, debt with interest is a norm and etc.?

I found out that when u are a Muslim, and while u talk about zakat, zuhudism, committing to God, humbleness, simplicity, justice, kesamarataan, take whats only yours and give some to the poor, riba is the worst sin etc and at the same breath u allow and agree to all those things that capitalism approve of, then I would say that u r a genuine, certified, bona fied ,trully pure, bloody hypocrite.

As an engineering student I just couldn't compute.

I am just saying that, as a human being, we are entitled to our own beliefs. Therefore nothing can indoctrinated me. I admit that I have a left leaning ideology, but that doesn't mean I enslave my mind to that ideology. I am still learning. The world are just beginning to weight itself on me, and I am only on the way to the enlightening path. I will not commit myself to one ideology, I will be open to all.

I will be open to debates and discussion and if I am wrong, I am open to be corrected but please let me remind u, I am entitled to my opinions therefore let us agree to disagree shall we?

I am a Muslim, therefore I would act as one. As a Muslim, I was told that the first word that our Prophet Muhammad received is Iqra' meaning "read". and I should not follow others (angguk, tunduk, patuh). I must stand up for what I believe in and search for knowledge and true guidance. and let Allah lead the way.

p/s: In all honesty, I would like for everyone who reads this to not agree with me and spark the skeptic in u to initiate discussions and research so that if I am wrong, please do correct me.
