An Apple among the Vegetables

Being an apple among a basket of vegetables is not a very easy thing to be, and though decisions that you take while among vegetables will mostly be affected by vegetables, coz those ARE vegetables while u'r a fruit, know what i'm saying?

What makes one stand out from among a crowd is not what university he is in, or how much he earns, or how cool he looks or how much stuff he owns, what makes one stand form among the crowd is how much he sacrifices from his personal comfort in order to make it better.. IT here is, alot of things and are taken one at a time...

Arrasul PBUH advised us that when we pray for something.. we start by alhamdulillah, then al-salatu wal salam 'ala rasul Allah, then pray for OURSELVES.. the self that is inside YOUR own body, then AFTER that u pray for whoever you want to pray to.. this just points out to the natural procession of things, you start with yourself.. you want everyone to be an apple like yourself, you BE an apple first, then start to tell people how nice it is to be an apple..

and again, it takes effort, it is not so easy to resist different temptations and being sucked into the different dsires of this life, but taking this life a preparatory stage for a final exam is what makes you STONGER that it.. if I care less then it doesn't really make alot of difference to me, so i won't be bending the rules and using people for this life's worthless desires..

So if you sacrifice your comfort and start TRYING to relaly understand what you are studying, caring less about what the other vegetables say, then you are guaranteed to have a bright future.. if you have the intention of gaining the most form this life and learning from EVERYONE no matter who he is in order to help you make this world a better place and eventually have a much much much better afterlife, the go for it.. and success will your guardian.. may Allah guard us all

Cheers

I really don't know. As a manner of a private silent conversation between a man and his Creator, one dares not say I know. An overlook on the future could not seem that bright, in matters of readiness for example, one can't really say that things are that visible because they are simply in the hands of the Creator. All I know is what I feel now, and that it is not a really great feeling to be honest. the differences between human beings are mostly significant when dealing with problems. Some enthusiastic reactions from people who are living a certain state of mind or spirituality would immediately say "If you're not feeling that good then you should check your relationship with God, pray more, ask for forgiveness and things will be okay". On the other hand other people might ask more questions and analyze the situation more in order to try and come up with answers, also related somehow to their experiences that might be irrelevant to my situation so to speak. That...

Loving Fear

A small window of a certain sensation followed by a quick view upon an idea, and then a broad metallic armor of assurance has crossed my chest. What happened was the occurrence of Fear. For several days there was this fear taking over, causing my skin to shiver, and my hair to stand every now and then. Fear is the opposite of being happy and that's just the beginning. Fear is essential for the human life, but an overdose could be utterly devastating. I was actually somewhere else when the sensation crossed my body starting from my eyes and ending at my heart. I was driving on the messy highway under a cloudy sky at evening time. A colleague of mine was in the passenger's seat, sleeping, while I was trying my best to stay alert and evade the acrobatics being made by trucks and micro-buses all around me, causing the highway to be something really close to a flea circus, but that's not our issue now. The clouds were all above me, but the horizon was cloud-free. There was a chi...

Profound Sanity

Dreams, are nowadays randomly filled with random people, like my brain is being shuffled constantly in order for the most important things to settle in the bottom, and the less important to come on top, then the less important, and so forth, till i find the heavy rocks in the bottom, the things that are closest to my heart, and those might include the people who are closest to my heart and my attempts to make them happy, and furthermore try to understand them more, for not to fall in the mistake of trying to make them happy the way I want them to be happy, but rather the way THEY want to feel happy.. And then again, it is clear that life is just about the pursuit of happiness, because happiness can be found in various ways, and loads and loads of forms, but what is more important is only realized by the minority of people, and it can rarely be controlled by the individual, it is a blessing from God that is. As people try all the time to follow what their instinct tells them to achiev...
