Do you live around Muslims? I should try following their prayer schedule but substitute it with meditation. I'd have a routine. I never remember to meditateI'm not exactly sure. Everyone around tells me to pray 5 times a day and soon all of my problems will fade away. I've never known how that will help other than distracting me.
Yes. Islamic countryDo you live around Muslims? I should try following their prayer schedule but substitute it with meditation. I'd have a routine. I never remember to meditate
What's it like? Is it as portrayed by western media?Yes. Islamic country
Well, the part I live in is westernised to an extent. Overall, it is quite poor. The people here are very illiterate(I don't blame them given how they are brought up) and a bit of a religious extremist type. If you have money, then you are set but if you don't then your life is quite deplorable. Although, some of the things are exaggerated by the western media. What they are true about is the poor areas and villages, but even that is changing thanks to TikTok and other westernisation tactics. Homosexuality and other things are punishable by death but rarely implemented. However, blasphemy is a huge issue. So many people have been murdered by these religious extremists mobs. Like recently they burned and desecrated churches over a blasphemy case. A family member was also murdered in a horrific way due to false allegationsWhat's it like? Is it as portrayed by western media?
You can try their prayer too if you want. It might give you peace or something. Worth a tryDo you live around Muslims? I should try following their prayer schedule but substitute it with meditation. I'd have a routine. I never remember to meditate

I recently went to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage and I was actually very terrified there due to what I've heard in the media, but it seemed normal for the most part

Well, I actually really liked it since I as was a young child. I have always not felt like I belong here. I was exposed to a lot of the western media and felt immersed. It was a dream of mine to actually live there, so I also applied there for my university and had planned to attend in September, but I decided my mental health was deteriorating so decided to not go. I can definitely tell that it's struggling with the crime rate, school shootings, violence etc. Still seems like a cool place to me, and a part of me still wishes I was born thereSounds rough. What's your view of the U.S.?
I can't do a prayer I don't believe in
Liberals ruined the u.s. They could redeem themselves if they allowed euthanasia, something conservatives would never do.Well, I actually really liked it since I as was a young child.

Also, I apologise. My intention wasn't to say that, I didn't read your message properly, so I thought you wanted to try it but didn't know how to hence you were replacing it with meditation. I just got confused
