transformation.

july 7, 2011. 2022hrs

thanks to my fever which allowed me curse boredom and in the end i found myself leafing through 406 pages of the girls of Riyadh Dicky lend me just before the bus leaving for a month of KKN thing. nice to know that i finished it in one period of reading today.

i dont usually elaborate my story, its nice to put quotes as they are.

i probably missed the exact diction of this quote, but this is how i translate the according quote in english.
"when a woman plant a seed of romance, love will transform into religion"-thaghur

i copy-pasted the definition of religion from oxford, one of the definition is a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion. 
then i copy-pasted the meaning of devotion : love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person or activity, and still i understand the word "pursuit" is more like "chasing" or "fetching" isnt it?

perhaps i dont miss the whole idea of religion (in this story, this is not about defining me and Allah and faith or stuff like that, but this is religion in the above quote) then i redefine religion as anything that we do fetch with love, loyalty, or enthusiasm.  

me, as medical student, then be a doctor is my religion. for some women who die for clothes and cosmetics, then it is their religion. 

but how about this? 

how if one, with love, feel obligated, which may scope what enthusiasm is, to alarm a person to do his personal duty for his Supreme Allah, over this certain range of time which implies loyalty? put that feeling in diction of eagerness. then, is that the meaning of love as religion?
