THOUGHTS OF A MUSLIM GIRL

Heart Talk (II)

Some people never knew the joy and the sense of satisfaction that good deeds bring. People usually weight their acts on a scale of gain and loss, causing themselves to be drowned by selfishness in the deep waters of ignorance and greed. However, the bare truth is that humans can't feed their hearts with coins, but only feelings...

A man should experience for at least once in his life the feeling of alleviating the pain of people. The feeling of building an arch from his heart to reach other people's hearts. The feeling of looking at people and seeing beyond their looks and attires. The feeling of turning people's aversion into love. The feeling of making people who barely smile crack a laugh and people who barly talk go loud. The feeling of giving the frustrated a glam of hope. The feeling of making people who hold fears tear of joy. The feeling of making the faint colors of faces bright. The feeling of making bewildered people find their proper paths and bitter foes to shake hands. The feeling of making blankly faces bestow a bright smile and dark ones shine like an Augusts' noon.

People's hearts are close to an enigma, looks hard and invulnerable at first sight, but shows up to be an easy one to solve if we just had the keys of smile, tender look, and good word. Those are the things that feed the heart, revive it, and grant it tranquility: The feelings of selflessness, serviceability, and valuability... Those feelings that remind you that you were born for a great purpose... to achieve your greatest self... and to do it genially!
