Why God Created 6 Billion People In The World

I think God created 6 billion people in this world because He wanted me to meet the author of the Volume of Interactions.

Our friendship started 7 years ago when i was still a teen (to be correct, 19). As much as it is important to have a friendship to last that long, its more important to have a "passionate" friendship- a friend to tell, a friend to tell it ALL. A friend who when you tell it all, he will give you what you NEED to hear, NOT what you WANT to hear. And he should say it in the best manner so that it is easy for you to accept it.

Two things that he said which changed my perspective. Aiz, i don't know whether you remember it or not, but the way i know you, you would. And they were:

1. That is not you. You are not like that.
2. Because you are extra-ordinary.
3. Stop playing games.

He reminded me of who i am. And that made an impact on me today. An impact on my perspective. On the things that i have been doing. On things that i have taken lightly. On things that i might jeopardize.

He reminded me- by just saying the brutal truth- simply reminded me of the things i should do, should choose, over other things.

I think, sometimes in life, when things get a little bit routine, mundane and extremely difficult, you will fall into a phase that lawyers call- Temporary Insanity. I have been there before. I never got out of it until i got a slap on my face. But today, i managed to raise above it- as my best friend Radin said it- to be on the moral high ground is what you are, Hariah.. and i took those words at heart.

Sometimes when you forget who you are, what you have becomed, you should turn to those who can help you- that's why God Created 6 Billion People In The World. 6 Billion People- and counting...

In fact, i received a wake-up call for being someone i thought i was- but i wasn't. It was actually, a good wake-up call. A wake-up call from the one person who has groomed me to become better than average. Better than mediocre. That someone is not here with me, but is here to keep me happy. That someone might not be here physically, but he made me realize that yes- the world is a small place. That distance does not matter. That the world is too small to make the distance matter. He, is among the 6 Billion People Who God Created and wanted me to not only meet, but to share this short life with. God wanted me to always be inspired, to have someone to look up to. Someone to benchmark. Aziz is that someone.

I am extraordinary. I should not settle for something less. I am of extraordinary character. I say things and i mean it. I clean up after my mess. I appreicate friendships. I take relationships seriously. Family matters to me. I go for long walks by the lake when i needed to think. I know what i want in life and i wake up from a nightmare when i get wake-up calls like these.

Most importantly, i make mistakes. Some are intentional, some are accidental. Its ok to make a mistake as long as you can learn a good lesson from it.

Recently, i made an intentional mistake. Someone might get hurt. But nobody did. It was intentional because i didn't know the whole story. And because i have always wanted to clarify my options and experiment- i let myself make this mistake. But life's too short for lab games, isn't it?

Although it takes two to tango, it takes someone to put one foot on the ground and to stop the game.

Aiz said: Stop playing games. Its not worth it.

And i got it. Just like that, i am reminded of WHO I AM. I don't play games. I'm not even good at video games for that matter.

Who i am- is a firm person. Principled and ambitious. Maybe a little punk- but still principled and ambitious. Loyalist and practical. And, i am a good swimmer. Which literally mean- i will never sink. I might dive into the lake and struggle and float, but i will ALWAYS rise to the surface.

I dont do things that are unnecessary. I dont play games and i dont fall and not bounce back.

And for this realization, to correct matters- in this phase that i've been in- He needs to be the better man. If he couldn't, then thats ok, because that only means- that i needed to be the better woman.

The best part of all- i can be the better woman. Because Aiz didn't say that i was extraordinary for nothing. And Radin didn't say that i was a person of a moral high ground for nothing. And Aziz did not say that he loved me for nothing.

They said all that because they MEAN it, and because they KNOW me, and because i DESERVE it.

Among the 6 Billion People that God created, i am glad that i spent 8 hours today with the person i met 7 years back. Because that person is "My Person". He is the person who becomes my wake-up call, my gentle reminder, and the one friend who says it best when i needed to listen to my inner strength.

I feel like i got my inner soul back. Like the soul who left me sometime ago has returned to its master. Like i went on a holiday vacation and now has landed on my homeland.

And its great to be back. Now, it feels like home again.
