Conservation of Energy

I have too much energy to let it go to waste ( but being here doesn't make that much difference). Speaking of energy, I wonder if someone's attempted to calculate the total amount of energy in the world. Conservation of energy states that energy in an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be changed from one form to another which undeniably means there is a constant amount of energy in the world (and universe). Obviously no one attempted to enumerate knowing how immeasurably enormous present measures of energy are. Whenever I think of science, I think of my sister the engineer in the family who never fails to relate science back to the Creator. If energy is not being created of destroyed, then it could not have existed without a creator with infinite power. MashaAllah. How great God is.

let's now transform my energy from being awake to sleeping.

Grammar lesson #1

The difference between "can" and "may"; the former indicates capability or possibility, whereas the latter grants us permission to do something.

I.e. Can I drive your Rolls Royce? Well, yes, if your feet can reach the pedals and you can understand the concept of a steering wheel.

May I drive your Rolls Royce? Over my dead body.


Taken from " My Grammar and I".

I've been spending my Sunday afternoon reading on grammar. It's bizarre because the more I think about it, the more I question how I got through school with straight As. It's quite unthinkable, but that's a whole other matter.

I didn't come here to talk about grammar to be honest, I just thought that was something interesting to share.(but ofcourse you know the above fact already)

on another note, I never really understood the difference between apathy and paranoia. That line has been erased, drawn, erased again, and now it's quasi visible with smeared lead on both territories. In other words, it's a pretty messy area. well perhaps not for you (lucky).

Have you ever felt like you don't care about this or that, but in truth, you're just scared. Treating people as places and places as people because you believe(strongly) that everything is temporary. but there's another part of you that is scared that if you put any importance in places, people and anything else for that matter, you'd be...affected. In more ways than one.

Well, that's tough.
