Subhanallah. Saw this vid and I thought its good to share.
Allah’s existence is solid in terms of its rational foundations as well as the purpose, meaning, comfort, and guidance that it gives to our lives and the Quran inspires conviction by appealing to the aspects of the inner life of human beings, namely, to the heart and the mind.
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Our last prayer is all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, his Family, his Companions and his Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.

A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over
by Yu-Jun LIN
Late mornings and sleepless nights. Frustration. Anxiety.
They seem to have infiltrated our consciousness and entered our dreams. We recognize the shape of eaves, the folding line of streets, and return to our dwelling coordinates where we hide and live. We see restless men and women in full feather wandering through the brightly-lit city and then sitting shoulder to shoulder with countless strangers, between countless walls.
In the 1970s, urbanism started paving its way into Taiwan. Bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society, life thus became crowded and repressive in cities. The meaning of “urbanism” does not merely lie in towering skyscrapers but in altered landscapes, living conditions, isolation and loneliness as well as increasingly complex social issues. Submerged in the capitalist system, every person has been assumed as a tiny component, whose labor force is needed by the whole mechanism, but not with one’s individuality as well.
However, the construction of liberalism constantly reminds us of our own subjectivity, along with the importance of being viewed as a whole. Such contradictory values leads to extreme unease and confusion that keeps building up and ceaselessly floods our minds with external chaos. As worries that never subside loom over us, we are forced to retreat to our dwellings, where we are perfectly alone, and safe. We can uninhibitedly be ourselves – yet under the lingering dark cloud of sorrows.
Frustrating questions as “Who am I?” seem to return in lonesome nights, invariably. When night falls, myriads of dazzling lights glisten in innumerous windows at the near distance. Gazing into the dreamlike, transient light, we recall things we hope to seal for good in our troubled mind. We question again and again, about what role we should be playing to integrate into the society but still maintain the integrity of our own subjectivity.
A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over features eight selected pieces and delineates the question of how people, as individuals, should coexist with others, a question deriving from urbanites’ perceptual conflicts experiences.
Zheng Er Qi | People
“People” mirrors the phenomenon of Taiwan’s transition from being an agricultural society to city since 1970. It precisely portrays everyday urbanity that people nowadays are familiar with: Although millions of people reside on one spot, their recognition of one another fails to grow with urbanization, despite the presumable nearness.
Chung Chih Ting|I Am by Your Side
With the explanation by an offscreen sound and the roleplay image, “I Am by Your Side” depicts how urbanites try to be in company, revealing people’s natural urge for social connection. Yet it ends up to be talking to oneself or pointless mumbles, simply a futility of communication.
Wu Bo Sian | Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile
In the video, the chimpanzees form a spectacle, say, abnormality, in a seemingly normal context. “Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile” is a response to conflicts between public administration and individual freedom, zooming in on the contradictions or constraints between all the intervenable and the non-intervenable in everyday scenes.
Wang Ding Yeh | One-One
“One-One” depicts how people try to maintain an intact, rational space of survival while sometimes fail to avoid transgressing, under limited resources in a highly competitive society. With much precision, it captures the specific default interpersonal distance, and poses the question: How should each person navigate to find the best living posture at the moment?
Tsai Jie | When the Dust Settles
“When the Dust Settles” shows people restlessly beating on a possible exit to get out. However, does such an exit really exist? Or is it simply a delusion stemming from one’s untamable impetuosity? The work reflects the desolation of men and women, who are rumbustious, but aimless.
Huan Yen Chiao | 1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?
Fish in the bowl resembles people trapped in cities: extravagant outfits, splashing neon lights; sensational visual effects indeed. “1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?” presents how people escape from their anxiety and weariness for the time being. The work highlights the entire incompatibility and a sense of solitude after one’s subjectivity is highly developed.
Wong Shu Lian | I found myself floating and sinking down once in a while
The work addresses the enduring controversy between liberalism and capitalism that have been engendering people’s inner conflicts. It captures one’s self-doubt and angst in a profound way while, by exploring how to determine one’s best position, raises the ultimate question – Who are we after all?
Chen Chia Jen | SWEETWATER
“SWEETWATER” was born under Chen’s reflections during his artistinresidence experience in Southeast Asia. Between people living in urban and rural areas, there is a grand difference of perspectives, regarding how to survive and live a good life. It implies the fact that the widely-recognized future image, constructed by our society, might not be as clear or real as it seems, or perhaps what people accepted is simply a vague, even somehow out-of-focus, prospect.

rational meaning 在 為你讀詩 Facebook 的最佳解答
你自己,比全世界的其他人,更值得你的關愛和喜歡。
準備好「靈魂誓言」
這些誓言是你內心對愛情、珍愛、和深藏在你內心的所有一切的最誠摯的承諾,無論生命健康與否,會跟隨你直到你在這個世界最後一天。
在外面尋找真愛不能讓你有完全的滿足感,
除非你對自己有徹底的不可動搖的愛。
有了這些共識,我們可以做出以下的靈魂誓言:
我發誓,在絕望、沮喪、幻滅或任何困難出現的時候,我會安慰自己。
我發誓,我會一直,並以一切方式,做自己最心愛的人。
我發誓,我不會把自己再次扔進並沉湎與浪漫愛情之中。
我發誓,要活在我的信仰之中,讓生命展現神秘神聖完美的一面。
我發誓,以我的精神道路為榮,並創造出讓人驚訝的人生,不管我是否合法結婚。
我發誓,以聽到的號召為榮,讓自己的人生活得像藝術品一樣精彩。
誓言有些是溫和的,有些是激烈的,有些私人的,有些可以與全世界分享。
所有的誓言都體現我靈魂的召喚,以及要愛護自己的強烈渴望,以盡可能深的程度在生活的各方面關愛自己。
這些誓言都是進入生命的一個途徑,它們更深入更豐富,與靈魂有更密切聯繫。
用以下這四種方式,對自己說「我願意」:
1. 寫下你的靈魂誓言
你對自己的生活有最珍視的視角,所以你的靈魂誓言是你用文字把心裡的話記載出來的。
你也可以做一個視頻,寫一首詩,或者寫篇小說。
然後為自己舉行一個宴會,登記收到的禮物,有何不可?!
2. 創造一個願景版
靈魂會以形像說話。
你的靈魂誓言將以最大程度展現你生活的視角。
留出一些時間,製造一個和你形像有共鳴的願景版。
允許你自己直觀地繪製出這些形象,不要依賴你的理智。
3. 神聖的珠寶
取一件對你來說是有心意及意義的珠寶。
如一件銀項鍊,上面雕刻著「你讓世界更美好」
曾有一位女士在「嫁給」自己後,送了自己一個神聖的珠寶。
然後在經歷多年的曲折之後,她終於找到了屬於自己的道路。
4. 見證自己的神聖誓言
在做靈魂誓言時,不妨舉行一個小型典禮,讓其他人也承認你的這種轉變。
「嫁給」自己是一個可愛的起點,但它也僅僅是一個開始。
一個智言說到:你的任務不是要尋覓愛,但只有尋覓並發現擋住你的障礙,你才能去沖破它。
-佚名《嫁給自己》
英文:
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Prepare “soul vows.” These vows were deepest commitment to love, cherish, and deeply care for all parts of yourself in sickness and in health, until your time on the planet comes to an end.
Seeking love outside yourself will never bring fulfillment unless you possess radical, unshakable love for yourself.
With that knowing, these are some of Soul Vows:
I vow to comfort myself during times of hopelessness, despair, depression, disillusionment, or any difficulty that arises.
I vow to be my Beloved always and in all ways.
I vow to never settle or abandon myself in romantic partnerships again.
I vow to live in the faith my life unfolds in mysterious divine perfection.
I vow to honor my spiritual path and create an amazing life whether I am ever legally married or not.
I vow to honor my calling and live my life as a work of art.
Some vows were tender and some fierce—some private, and some to be shared with the world.
All vows were an expression of my soul’s calling and a deep desire to love myself and care for myself at the deepest possible level in all areas of my life.
These vows were the gateway into a life that was deeper, richer, and more connected to my soul’s guidance.
Here are 4 ways to say “I do” to you…
1. Write your soul vows.
You have a deeply cherished vision for your life, and your soul vows are a way to get it out of your soul and on paper. You could create a video, write a poem, or use fancy writing. Throw yourself a party. Register for gifts! Why not?
2. Create a vision board.
The soul speaks in images. Your soul vows may be magnificently revealed in a vision for your life. Carve out some time to craft a vision board from images that resonate with you. Allow yourself to be intuitively drawn to these images and don’t rely on your rational mind.
3. Sacred jewelry.
Procure a piece of jewelry that has heart and meaning for you, such as a silver heart necklace inscribed: “You make the world a better place.”
A lady actually created a sacred jewelry business after marrying herself. She’s finally found her path after years of meandering.
4. Be witnessed in your sacred vows.
While making a soul vows, perhaps a ceremony with a few close friends? Find a way to have others acknowledge this transformation.
And while the marrying myself was a lovely starting place, it was really just the beginning. In the wise words “Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
