Just Thoughts...

  • What makes your eyes shine?? Money, fame, lust, power, even food?? It's puzzling how a man can fall so easily for one of these although everything around him already warns him about them .. They make the eyes shine so much to the extent that, unless controlled by wisdom and faith, one can get blinded and driven so quickly to the gates of hell .. The test is clear and the questions are already known, but still it is hard for many to get at least a 'pass'! ... It's true that the 'flesh is weak', but still there are several ways to make it a little stronger, aren't there?
  • If Man's mission in this life is to pray for the Creator, to work, to preserve the Earth, and to ensure the existence of his kind, how can life be that complicated? Why is it so hard to maintain the 4 objectives intact? People forget about their Creator, they hate working, they destroy the Earth, and they destroy themselves! If life is a big exam, with the questions already known, why is it hard to find their answers?
  • Every person has this self-image in his mind about himself and about the world that he tries so hard to maintain and convey to others. It's true that you cannot see from a person but the image he wants you to see, which is, ironically enough, almost always not 100% sincere! The eye does not see but what it sensually perceives, and that's why, like all senses, it is imperfect, and it can be tricked and manipulated so easily, and as such it cannot be the basis of any rational decision or judgement!!
  • It's a pity how the word 'friendship' is abused and undervalued in this virtual social network! ... You could have like a 1000 friends on your list, but you'll realize that actually a couple of them are your enemies, some of them have some interest in you, some don't really know who you are, some find you a good method of entertainment and pass-time, and even some add you just for the sake of adding like collecting stamps, finding yourself not having a single real true 'friend'!!
  • Have you ever sat on a wet grassy hill at the countryside at night, watching the dazzling live painting of the moon and stars, smelling the breathtaking scent of the fresh breeze, listening to the glorious orchestra of the winds and the night insects, touching the cheerful tickles of the grass and the wet soil, and feeling the Mighty Greatness of the Creator? An all-senses fulfilling experience.
  • There is a widespread problem in balance and common sense! If you are kind, you are seen as naive and prone to be used .. If you are friendly, you are seen as trivial and prone to be ridiculed .. If you are religious, you are seen as an extremist and prone to be categorized .. If you have good morals, you are seen as a pretender and prone to be accused .. If you are good looking, you are seen as shallow and prone to be misconceived .. If you get closer and talk, you are seen as a parasite and they ask you to stay away .. And if you stay away and shut up, you are seen as arrogant and they wonder why you are not talking to them!!
  • As simple as they might appear, yet they could be the most difficult questions you'd ever have to answer (that's if you find an answer to them from the first place!), questions about your identity and your purpose in life:Who are you? .. and What do you want? It's dazzling how such simple 2 questions which are formed of even simpler 6 words can define one's existence!

  1. Thank you Aya for these kind words .. that's a lot :) I'm glad you like it.
    Concerning the 3rd line, no I meant the word "enemies" and the last line tells you why ;) ... I meant to reflect how such a noble relationship like friendship is so much abused, especially in such virtual social networks.
