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.    

That little boy at the end of this cart is the owner, selling these fine dates. Peshawar Saddar after 9:00 pm on a Sunday night, is crowded no more.

The sun shines on everyone alike, regardless of their worth. The sun shines according to it's own worth. Each one of us behaves according to our own worth. If I am big, I have more kindness to offer. If I am small, I have not much good to offer. Nothing good ever comes out of a worthless being.

  You cannot drink out of an empty vessel/glass. If that vessel even has a hole in it, then it will never hold any water for you. Do not be upset when some people are not kind to you. They are like this empty vessel/glass. They lack greatness. They do not have respect, gentleness or kindness to offer. They are empty people.

Do not make life more difficult than it already is. You do not get a chance to live, if you keep judging and thinking. If life gives you a chance, do not ever waste it finding excuses for why it should not be or why it should be any different than it is. Life is all about doing the impossible, daring and living what others think you cannot do or live. Life is about deciding and sticking to your decisions. The dead in spirit do not decide. It is not sad to die physically, but it is tragic to die in spirit. Keeping your spirit alive is counted as success. Over burdening yourself with the thoughts of how things should be or how they should not be, is denying yourself the right to live, enjoy, learn and grow. Take life by the horns !

When I am forced to die - ...colored marbles and broken glass pieces that I can see through for hours, different colored paints that I can mix to make some more colors, clouds of different shapes and colors in the sky above me, turquoises of all shades, and; at night, looking into the deep endless starry sky; are a few of the things that make me happy even when I am forced to die a death I do not want to.
