World Affairs And Beyond

Ultimately everyone fears God. Even the so-called atheists. Nobody is ever free of fear. It's really amazing to see how, by the end, only God's rule prevails. People will always have a "god", for people are just people. Watch them run for their lives when the earth shakes. Watch them fast; out of fear (of anything), during the month of Ramadan. They fast because they "fear" some god. There is always a "god". Be it the fear of God Almighty, be it the fear of their godly neighbors, godly traditions, godly culture, or any other small worldly god. Nobody is ever in a state of actual godlessness.    

This Ramadan is teaching me what no Ramadan in the past has ever taught me before. It is making me feel the other side of the story. Those who have been good guys all their lives, do not know what it is like to be a bad guy. It is teaching me why the bad guys are bad guys. Why the greedy are greedy. When given a chance, they too can become good people. It is just that they do not have faith in their tomorrow. They need to reach deep inside their hearts and find that faith. It is patience and faith that is missing in their lives.
