Carbon... Unlike its predecessors offers the player to play the game with crew members, each with different specialties and skills. Among them are drafters, blockers, mechanics and lots more other stuffs. The game also offers a new race type to contest in, and that of a very challenging one, the Canyon. A race where you're one on one with the boss and you've got to keep on his/her tail without crashing in them and without getting left behind. Mind you, don't fall of the cliff too! Make any silly mistakes, like driving to fast at corners, you'll definitely fall off the cliff. And that's the end! Well, the pros has its cons too, you know... With this new race you don't have any chance anymore to compete ini Drag races anymore, a race where one pushes the limit of the car their car to the fullest. In computeric terms... Overclocking the car!
Playing Carbon is one thing... Understanding the philosophy behind it is another! (Since when does games have all those philosophous thingies???). When can't just accelerate all the time, nor can you just brake all the time. I tell ya, you won't get nowhere, by doing just that. Well, it so seems that playing this game isn't at all that simple is it? Btw, who said it was even simple! Let's just say this, all the time you need to know and see the big picture, the target you want to achieve. Whether you want to win or lose (now, now... Everyone wants to win don't they?)... Be the first or last, be the best or worst and so on. Seeing the big picture would also mean that you know the road towards the finishing line, you're clear about it. None can put doubt in you about that, and none shall ever succeed in doing that... Because you say so! Then, in trying to get to the goal, there would of course be some turns here and there. Some dangerous and and some deadly! So, at those certain points, you'll have to slow down just slow enough to get thru those twist and turns peacefully and without crashing. Sometimes, it is wise to slow down at the twist and turns so that the average speed is faster than that not slowing down at all. What matters is actually the big picture. You want to cross that finish line first, so you'd have to have a higher average speed for that.
In real life it's just the same as that. To achieve a certain goal you'd have to create and see the big picture. Once you see it, you'll be able to do lots of things that eventually will turn in favor to your goals. You'll know what to do, why you do it, and the time to do it. And, you'll also know when to slow down, and you'll know when to max up the gear.
Da'wah. The road is long, and this work requires stamina, wisdom and lots of other stuffs as bekalan. This was the path of the ambiya', the path of the sahabah, and the path of those who wishes to see Islam practiclized in daily life. Not in him alone, no. But also in other people as well. On this long road, one cannot afford to crash, not even once. Because if he crashes, the time it'll take to reach the goal, i.e. bringing Islam back, will lengthen by itself. Due to that, that person is solely responsible for what he has done, but other people may also feel the consequence of his stupid actions. The longer it takes for Islam to rule and prevail the more the dosa upon those who do the stupid things. And also upon those responsible for not trying or working to bring Islam back. Let's just say this; Be wise in carrying out a very big responsibilty.
Allahu a'lam.
