We don’t have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression. ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 19
We are a bunch of chickens. Gone long are the brave men, who had the courage to pierce their enemies with swords, and had the patience of being pierced themselves. We so much want peace that we have stopped standing up for what’s right. Kill the bad people!
This calls for another quote, this time by legendary Danny Crane of Boston Legal
I think every citizen should carry gun on his waist, heck all the criminals have them. The answer isn’t less guns, it’s more guns.
How do you expect to build your character if you cannot stand with the right thing? (Although I think the right thing to do is to stand at the left
) You have to stand up and go to war. Many people think its outrageous, unrealistic and dramatic to say that you should go on a war against the evil within. Its because they don’t know how hard it is.

I just wrote this as a comment on amal’s blog. I don’t know whether or not she will approve it, so here it goes.
How exactly do you ‘measure’ your iman? Maybe one day I will go like: “hey dude, this past week, i have prayed 5 extra nafal. since that is 14% more than the average, that makes my iman 14% stronger. yippeee!”
You know what. Thinking about religion ALL THE TIME is not healthy! All you need to do is to know how your belief should affect your preferences in life. Once you know that, you should follow the results for a while and maybe come back later to check where the things at an intellectual level are going.
Writing your ‘religious ambitions’ on your blog? That is lame! Live life, don’t chew through religion!!!

You are going to die one day. It will all be over, very soon. Your body will be buried in the soil. Your flesh will rot away, and you will become one with the soil.
Knowing that, why do we want different things for ourselves? Take for example, people want to ‘improve their education’. They don’t want to be ‘just graduates’. They actually travel away from their families, their loved ones, to do what? Earn a PhD? That is bullshit. Your life is with your family, the people you love. What kind of a person would leave his old parents waiting so that he could earn a masters degree?
People don’t think enough. Maybe they need education to scratch their heads a little. People really don’t think about what they are doing in life. I know what I am doing. I am living my life! I am living it the best it can be lived. I am not chasing thin air! I am doing what I should be doing. I am doing what is on the top of my list of things-to-do. And nothing in the world can take me away from that. Nothing can even temporarily distract me from that.
In old times, there were more people like me, content with their lives. Now we have a lots of douche bags chasing thin air, making this world an unrealistic place. Do people have any idea of what they want in life?

Fear that you would not be able to keep up to the standards which you have to come up to. That you will loose it once again, like hundreds of times before. But still, you must keep your head high, listen to inspirational music and do what needs to be done. Just do what desperately needs to be done.One day you have a chance, the next day you don’t. I am running out of time. Now I must act. I should act what would lead me to the new world, which would remind of good old times. And I so don’t want to elaborate and break it down logically. Logic gave me nothing.

I love that I cannot sleep on anything. I love that I cannot keep a secret. If there is something on my head, it always comes out. And I love it.

I leave everything behind. My thoughts, my philosophies & my dual attitude. These things don’t matter. You don’t matter. Your views about me don’t matter. Your opinion about me doesn’t matter. What matters is what feels to be the new world opening in front of me. Its old and new at the same time. It reminds me of a wonderful past. And the feeling is nothing my thoughts brought upon myself. Maybe they now come as a reward of my suffering. But is suffering supposed to be rewarded? I don’t give a damn! Its here now, and I love it. To a world which matters more!

Being yourself is letting your instincts define you as a person.
Define yourself, before your instincts define you.
