I have to admit that I am not the most religions person around. I bend rules all the time. Ask any close friends of mine, it's true. However, when it comes to Puasa time, I do it 100%...no bending of rules here.
I honestly believe that fasting is good for your body and soul. If you were to imagine our body is like an engine. If we keep on running our engine day in day out without resting, the wear and tear will be high. Fasting allows our engine to 'rest' for a while, to take it easy for a month. If done right, at the end of the month, you will be thinner and healthier. Cheap way to diet and it was developed eons ago!
As for the soul part, I am not an expert. Some get it and some don't. I meant the spirit of fasting. Some do it cause there is no place 'safe' to eat during the day. Some do it cause they want to manage society perception. Some don't do it at all. To each his own.
So, to my fellow Muslim, Selamat Berpuasa. To my non-muslim friends, enjoys your serene lunch for a while and let's do a Buka Puasa together.
