Welcome to the blog!

I remember first hearing about Mohammed Bin Rashid All Maktoum's publication entitled "Flashes of Thought." Even prior to delving into the contents of the book, my mind was already abuzz with contemplations on life and human experience. It was almost intuitive for me to envision that if I were to create a blog, I would call it " Flashes of Thought." And Voila! Here we are.

Life is not a straight line, one wise man said. Consequently, my aim in sharing content with you is to take you on an odyssey of exploring diverse thoughts and perspectives on life that will inspire, motivate and provoke you to perceive life through different lenses. Prepare yourselves. It promises to be quite the journey. 

I look forward to interacting with you more therefore please keep your comments coming. Your input is highly valued.
Thank you for taking your time to read through.  

Shilako Abutaka.

Flash 7: An Epiphany.

An epiphany dawned upon me a few days ago when a friend of mine graciously accepted my invitation to visit our home for a discussion. While exchanging pleasantries, our elegant cat emerged from the house and basked in the sun on the veranda. " What a beautiful cat ," she remarked. " Indeed, no whiter cat ever graced the earth," I humored, admiring the snowy white fur of our feline companion. " What happened to its ears ?" she inquired, noting the ghastly wounds on the cat's ears. " We don't know. This cat arrived at our doorstep approximately six months ago with those ear wounds. Since then, the wounds are yet to fully heal " I explained. " Have you considered using honey ?" she suggested. " Honey ?" I wondered. " Yes, honey. We utilize it in the hospital for wounds that are slow to heal, " she elaborated. " Ah ," I acknowledged, even as the epiphany struck me.  My thoughts immediately t

Flash 6: A Land Without Borders?

One of the predominant themes that the young mind has to grapple with as it awakens from its innocent slumber of childhood into maturity is the dichotomy of freedom and restraint. As the young individual becomes acquainted with the constrains (often perceived as shackles) imposed on him first at home, then at school and so forth, a longing is kindled in the young man’s mind. A longing for freedom. Along his journey, the young man encounters many more like him, all clamoring for freedom of some sort. Through careful observation and attentive listening, he perceives the world as a vast cauldron brimming with the swirling echoes of cries for freedom - freedom of expression, democracy, identity, religion and more. Countless books, songs and films have been created, and continue to be created all echoing the same sentiment: We want Freedom. Break from us the chains of restraint ! If he is wise and discrete, the young man will search the depth of the matter to acquire understandi

Flash 1: On Fear.

Image
One of the “and their eyes were opened” moments regarding fear occurred for me when I acknowledged my aversion to making important decisions concerning my life. I preferred to defer that task to others and allow them make decisions for me. Significant decision-making moments would always be tarnished by the ugly presence of that dark looming ashen monster called fear. I would hear his subtle whispers deep within my soul. My mind would serve as the canvas on which he painted his garish paintings of all the things that would possibly go wrong if I made the wrong choices. Consequently, the winds would be taken out of my sail, leaving me at the harbor when I should have been sailing. Upon closer inspection of life, it becomes evident that the world is a cauldron of simmering fears controlling us. Despite our belief that we are masters of our destinies, a thorough examination of our thought and decision-making processes easily proves who runs the show for most of us. It comes in
