Depression

A chance remark set my mind into a spin. It got me thinking and now I am stuck. I am looking back into my life. Suddenly all of these questions came rushing into my head. What have I done? Why did I do the things that I did? What was my motivations and intentions at the time? Was it noble or was it plain greed? I suppose I had succumb to temptations. I gave in when I should have resisted. I had been unfaithful to my principles. I had taken a short cut. I had lost my self respect. And that is why I am depressed.

Finally Free

You are one of many
You are someone looking for freedom
You are someone hungry for respect
You are someone searching for love
You are someone in need of attention

You are totally unaware
You are utterly lost
You are in despair
You are doomed

Until you realize...and proclaims that
Everything that you do
Your living
Your prayers
Your sacrifices
Your death
are all for Allah
Then and only then...you will find that

His is all the love you need
His is all the attention you seek
His is all the respect you crave
In submitting to His will
Nothing else matters

Then and only then
You will be
Finally free

People

I thought I know myself. It turns out that I do not understand myself at all. I thought that I know the people around me. But then ...how could I know them when I barely know myself. I find myself liking and not liking somebody. I realised that it is not my place to like and not like someone. Who am I to do that? Am I that good such that I can pass out judgements on anyone that cross my path? I must realise that people are just people. They come in all shapes and sizes. They have different values and beliefs. I cannot say they are right or wrong. I am not God. I must teach myself to accept them as they are. People are not good or bad, kind or evil...they are just people.
