Fasting - berpuasa

EMBARASSING
.
Salam guys. Just wanna say not all muslims are like this. Honestly :
.
- If you queue in front of me while buying food about 7pm, you dont have to give way. You were there first.
.
- You can drink and eat in front of me while I fast. The idea of fasting is to purify my mind, body and soul, and these "tests" are nothing compared to poor people who spend days with nothing to eat.
.
- If you are seated at your table, you dont have to get up just because someone kena buka puasa. Its thoughtful and nice if you do, but I wont think you are a bad person if you dont.
.
- I personally avoid malls on the weekend of Diwali, CNY or Xmas simply because I dont need to further crowd the malls and i think its better to give priority to our other brothers and sisters who is preparing for their biggest festival for the year. But just because I do it, it doesnt mean everyone has to do it.
.
As a 36-year old grown adult, I have can queue, wait 30 more minutes to eat, and I fast because I love my God and follows his commandments. I dont seek special treatment from others as long as Im doing this for my God. I didnt fast the whole day so that others give me their spots and I can eat KPC or McP in peace.
.
To my fellow muslim brother's and sisters, share this post if you are with me and let our other brothers and sisters know not all of us has this sense of false entitlement, and not all of us behave like a 5-year old.
