Four Reasons Why You Should Not Be Dating

  The aim of dating is to look for a companion with whom you want to share your life experiences. However, there are some times in your life when you should not even be thinking about dating. Here are four reasons why you should not be dating.

 You’re married

Anyone with half a mind would realize that this is possibly the most inappropriate time when anyone would decide to start dating. Being married means you’re committed to someone already, which makes you off-limits and makes everyone else who is not your spouse effectively invalid to you. Wanting to date when you’re already married is downright cruel to all parties involved, including yourself.

It might actually sound like a good idea for you to immediately look for a new significant other during this stage. But post-divorce situations are messy and you might want to reconsider dating while readjusting to life as a single person. Take a year or two off, first, and get your life back on track before deciding to get into another relationship.
  
Just Got Fired

A lot of people would gladly support their significant other who is currently jobless or low on luck. However, this sort of thing isn’t healthy for either party. If you’re unemployed, don’t ever consider dating anyone. First of all, your date might be cool with it for the first few weeks, or even months, but eventually, they’ll grow to resent you and see you as a moocher. Relationships like these never work out well. So if you’ve recently lost a job, then it is highly advised for you to look for another one first before jumping into a relationship with someone.

It’s not uncommon for couples to break off due to wavering interests. Sometimes you just don’t feel as in love as you used to. However, you shouldn’t ever try dating another person if you’re still with someone, even if you’re planning on breaking up with them. If you really want to look for other prospective relationships, you should let your partner know about your feelings first and throw your cards on the table. You don’t want to be seen as a two-timer.


There are other situations that you can think of that are not conducive for you to be thinking about dating. It’s up to you to decide them. Dating is definitely something positive in everyone’s lives, but you should always remember the responsibility you have towards yourself and the people you plan on dating. You should know what you’re doing and whether it’s the right thing at the right time.

When Your Child Says "I Didn't Ask to Be Born"

Image
The most difficult statement that a child may say to his/her parents that a parent cannot satisfactorily justify is when the child says,"I didn't ask to be born." How do you counter this statement? What supporting evidence can you present to your child to argue against this claim?  Why is this statement uttered? Most times when this statement of the fact that he/she didn't ask to be born is uttered is when something unfortunate or bad happens or when the child doesn't want to do something that the parents instruct him/her to do. In my humble opinion, I believe that this statement is the ultimate form of ungratefulness that can be uttered. It not only disregards the hardship that the parents endure in raising the child, the hardship that the mother faced when pregnant with the child and all the hardships that is mentioned in the Quran in Surah 46 Al-Ahqaf  Ayat 15 : وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـٰنًا ۖ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ كُرْهًۭا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْ...

Undocumented Children in Malaysia are Detained in Baitul Mahabbah

Image
In a news report by Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the activist group, the End Detention Network which claims to speak for foreign children in detention facilities considers the new Baitul Mahabbah shelter a de facto detention center. The group urged the government to keep its promise to permanently remove children from detention facilities, claiming that by keeping these children in such facilities would continue to deprive them of their rights. According to the organization, many nations are now concentrating their efforts on providing community-based, non-institutional care and safety to refugee and migrant children as well as completely halting the detention of foreign children. What is the Baitul Mahabbah? Baitul Mahabbah in Negri Sembilan The Home Ministry established Baitul Mahabbah as a transitional housing facility for immigrant children who had previously been housed at immigration depots.

Is Zahid Hamidi Really Free?

Image
This must be the happiest day for Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi because he has been discharged of the 47 charges with regards to Yayasan Akalbudi. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, image via Free Malaysia Today Although Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and the citizens of the country think that he is free, this is not the case. He still hasn't been acquitted which means that there is still no verdict to his case. He may be found guilty or not guilty when the case is brought back to court. He can still be charged for the same crime. This latest development in Zahid Hamidi's case doesn't indicate that he's innocent or guilty of the charges yet. Why did the AGC halt Zahid Hamidi's graft trial? The prosecution has applied for a Discharge Not Amounting to Acquittal (DNAA) and to stop the trial for 11 reasons. The defence pushed for a direct acquittal which was rightfully rejected and the court has granted the DNAA. If you're curious to know what the 11 reasons are, please read from t...
