I applaud the likes of Hassan, RIBs, Islame, Maryam, High Octane, and all who passionately pursue
human rights, defenders and protectors of people who cant defend and protect themselves.
Iblis.. I know what its like to just want to throw in the towel and forget about it. The mechanics
of islam, and politics for that matter, are exhausting physically, emotionally, even spiritually.
And everyone has their own convictions, or "burdens" if you will, and thank goodness for those who
can tirelesly persevere in the arenas that I cant! Regardless whether its due to lack of means,
knowledge, or my spirit just cant handle it.
When i was a christian (hell, a muslim, too, for that matter), i pondered often about "burdens"
and what callings people had, ordained by god. And one day i realized, it doesnt matter how big
or little one's "calling" is. Random acts of kindness every day are just as important as standing
on a pulpit, or being the CEO of a non profit organization! You can touch lives and make a difference
every single day! Like encountering a really nasty checkout person. Pause for a minute, genuinely smile
at them, and ask them if they are having a bad day. I tested this, and guess what? EVERY single time
they responded with gratitude. Their kids were sick, they had to work a double shift and their feet were
killing them, they had a fight with their spouse, etc etc. That one small act of genuine kindest CAN make
a difference in one's life! Doesnt have to be anything more than an understanding smile.
That's the essence of being a human being! It must have been your aha moment.Experiencing the
genuine kindness and compassion of a total stranger could be one of your most uplifting moments of your life. It's a pure spiritual experience.
Come to think about it, where the fuck has spontaneity disappeared? We need books teach us how to fuck, how to be good etc. Life has become so pedantic that we are paralyzed without a stupid holy book telling us what to do. Like the plastic, that man invented, his emotions and feelings have become artificial. You need to set your mind truly free to experience the joy of living. For this you have got to zealously guard your
autonomy and keep away from organized religion [I call them 'MAFIAS'].
You don't need anyone to define and teach you goodness. Submission to GOD is an euphemism for humilitiation. Only a GOD who hates would want that!
