Cinema

Salam,

I've always found cinemas disturbing. The idea of paying 10 bucks for two hours of puristic entertainment in the dark. For a Muslim, this does not make sense.

There's that idea of first of all paying for mere entertainment. And its not just in sen, but in ringgit. It's a lot of money to be spending on entertainment.

Then there's the fact of pure entertainment. You're not going there for anything worthy of your mind, but for relaxation. Which should be only for a while. To regroup and refocus and loosen the stress and headaches for a while. Taking a break for 2-3 hours did not make sense.

Then there's the darkness. Why would you ever want to go in a room full of unmarried people, in black darkness. You know what couples, unmarried couples are doing in there. So, why do you want to go in.

hm..it's baffling for me. odd.

Wallahu'alam.
