"Human beings...they are going to fail you," says Shashi Deshpande in her book The Dark Holds No Terrors. How very true. Sometimes, people simply disappoint you. They can be so insensitive/ irritating/ infuriating that you are forced to marvel at your ability to keep your calm. I can hardly stand people who
1. do not keep their word
2. preach what they don't practise
3. give themselves airs
4. take others for granted
5. are incorrigible.
The last are the worst, as they will never know what they really are. I hope I never ever fall into any of these categories!!!
And this makes me appreciate Jannah even more. You know, when Allah says in Surathul Waqi'a that in Jannah, we don't have to hear any ill speech or lies but 'Only a saying, "Peace, peace."'(56:26). How wonderful it will be! How tranquil!
