The Love Of This World

thoughts

Often we as individuals feel deeply about everything around us. It is the attachment to this world that makes us weak and frail. The love of this world consumes us and makes us vulnerable to an extent where we feel we have no space in this monstrous world. No doubt that we are just travellers in this world whose footprints will fade. As death approaches us we will be long forgotten and to some we will become a memory. Attachment always makes us do things out of our control, your heart is pleased for a while but soon we get tired and begin to lose interest. It makes us forget everything around us. It degrades, consumes us. It pierces our hearts brutally whereas connection gives us power. It gives us power to realize, rationalize and builds a feeling of trust and love in our hearts. We need constant consolidation and approval from people around us forgetting that the almighty created us with the right amount of everything. The right amount of intelligence, tolerance,beauty because god does not burden a soul beyond it can bear. Some people possess a dead, stone cold heart wherein they are unable to express or to be more specific are deprived of feelings. It is very easy for them to crush the red, mellowed and lovable hearts at one stroke. Not realizing that what you sow is what you reap. Lets talk about the golden hearted ones....they are one of a kind. Despite your constant betrayal and arrogance, they will come back to you because they know how it feels to be neglected. They know that they have to treat people with their own manners and not give people a taste of their own medicine because they know that forgiveness brings about peace and tranquility whereas hatred and revenge just depicts your jealously,weakness and how incapable you are to control your own emotions. As Allah (god, the almighty) says in the qur'an 'sabr and salah' that is patience and prayer are the key to one's success. Wishing bad on someone is going to take us nowhere..it is just going to cause us harm and harm and harm and more harm. Kindness in the only weapon which kills silently, without a loud boom. So my friend, if you ever wish wrong for someone just think about it and question yourself, 'what if someone thought like this about me?' and you being aware about it. How would you feel? If you even possess a heart...the answer would definitely be a 'YES'. You know, sometimes i feel that the things happening with us happens with a reason. Every entry and exit made in your life has a deeper meaning than what we can imagine. Everything happening in your life right now...be it the good or bad eventually happens for GOOD. Pay attention...it only happens for your benefit. Just like how we are given vaccines to make our body system immune to a particular pathogen such that our antibodies can perform better the second time around. Our body is made use to that pathogen and slowly we are resistant. Just like that....everything in this life is a test to make us stronger and sharper. Like i said..everything happening right now will eventually lead to GOOD. Just trust the process which will shape you into a stronger personality tomorrow than you were today. This brings we up with something new..when i said that our body performs better the second time around against a pathogen....just like that...some people in our life deserve a second chance not everyone but just a few. Some people prove it to you by being consistent and make efforts which is a refection of their interest in you. They want to be with you as you are the only way for them to be happy. You throw a very positive vibe at them that makes them feel completed which they never recieve from anyone. Whereever they go, they return empty handed, but when they reach out to you...they feel as if the whole world lies under their feet. But here the feeling has to be mutual. Sometimes giving a second chance  requires time..time to heal the wounds given by the person once considered as YOUR PERSON because if it weren't a close one, you wouldn't know what wounds are. When your wounds are raw and need time to heal..it is very difficult to open up completely to anyone but that's absolutely okay. Because someone somewhere understands you and empathizes you too. The best way to heal a wound is by not touching it. Incase you have hurt someone, try not touching the same wound because it will increase the time span. But here i have a greater question.........would you let fury and rage pile up in your heart when you are consistent in doing good but receives only the bad? Where the bad people just escape through a tiny hole by committing acts of shamelessness. My sincere advice..DONOT LET THEIR ETIQUETTES TRANSFORM YOU INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM YOU...that's something very precious to lose. Always remember..the almightly is watching. He(god,the almighty) always has your back....rip out your heart from your chest and hand it over to Him and watch how your life turns but bear in mind the turns are going to be smoother...maybe be rough at times but eventually it settles just in your favor. As mentioned earlier...seek assistance through patience and prayer....ughhhh 'what patience? It's impossible' (words in your mind). I ask you 'what is patience?' Patience is describing your grief,pain without losing over your wits. Patience is working so hard and intently waiting for your results. Patience is the phase between 'message sent' to someone to 'typing' by that someone. Patience is carrying your child for nine months in your womb and eargerly waiting for him/her to arrive safely in the your trembling hands. Patience is eagerly waiting for 'your legal love/better half' (created with you in pair by Allah) while everyone is just curious to go on a date and to be involved in girlfriend-boyfriend business. Patience is your strenth, endurance and only way of survival. It's combination with salah (prayer) works wonders in one's  life. That is how i interpret patience. Coming to SALAH(prayer)....AHHH I CANNOT EMPHASISE IT'S IMPORTANCE IN MY LIFE. IT HAS MADE ME WHO I AM AND IT IS ONLY REASON I HAVE SURVIVED AND AM STILL BREATHING. It is the very base of our existence. This was the reason why we were born. To worship our creator in the bustle of this life makes us feel lovable because we have got to admit that NO One is going to be there was you, noone will be able to make time for you because we believe that 'before helping others putting on THEIR oxygen masks, we must help ourselves' havent we all heard it in airplanes? Yes, just like that...it is just your creator,faith and DEEDS that matter at the end of the day. Because when you are no more...people learn to live without you no matter how dear you are to them... such is life. They might mourn over you for a few days or a few months but later you are forgotten...as Shakespeare says 'a mere oblivion' in his poem seven ages which compliments perfectly with what i am trying to convey. Always think about others, try, i am saying just try forgiving them not for them to intrude into your life AGAIN and make it hell on earth but for your own peace of mind because on the day of judgement...God will not forgive you when you need it the most. The almighty is always watching, ALWAYS.
