A Piece Of My Reflection...

Thru my two decades of trials and tribulations, I've seen different kinds of human beings from different aspects of life - perfectionists, braggarts, temperamentals, show-offs etc. I learn not to be deceived by those who obtain friendship and fondness of others by simply exploiting their cash and beauty as baits.

I can't seem to comprehend the reason or purpose of those who rather prefer good looks and money than those having a sincere heart. Why should 'sincere hearts' receive the gossips and critics while 'show-off, ill-mannered braggarts' receive the praise and credits? (And these braggarts will not put an end to their bragging even if the allegations made are MOSTLY not in accordance with their real life situation!!)

I believe that the love of money is the source of all wickedness... Money is not our 'passport' to heaven nor will it last for eternity. I know that The Almighty is willing to shower His humble servants with happiness thru wealth but He also has the ability to bring upon them with suffering thru poverty.

I guess love is really, really 'blind', due to the fact that most humans rather prefer the outer beauty than ones inner beauty. But being pretty or handsome doesn't completely reflect ones own 'true colour' - misbehaving, misconduct or should I say... misuse of the 'freedom' given. I am aware that The Almighty is able to present His humble servants with dignity and respect but we must not forget that He is able to test us with humiliation.

I learn that to fall in love with someone simply because of their looks is dangerous and misguided for many reasons. Firstly, those good looks might conceal less pleasant sides to their character to which I've said earlier, "love is blind". Later, because of the obsession with the partner's looks, the enamoured partner might be influenced into doing OR accepting all sorts of wrong conduct in their desperation to keep their love for their 'idol'. Thus, those good looks might even cause a form of 'SHIRK' in the heart of the one desperately in love with them. Secondly, the good-looking person might be perfectly decent and good, but unfortunately the good looks begin to deteriorate with age, or increasing fatness, or damage thru accident or illness.

What then? If the lover only wanted them because of their looks, the relationship is now on tricky ground...

Human beings has a tendency of making mistakes. I must confess that I am one of those who commits errors of my own. Learning and perceiving the mistakes of others including that of my own assists me in various ways. Sometimes, it's good to look back at your past deeds coz by doing so, you could at least compare the sort of person you was with the one you are presently.

I am truly grateful and thankful to The Almighty for waking me and my partner up. Without His Gracious Light, we would not be what we are today... I hope we will stay that way and improve ourselves in becoming a much more better person each and every single day...

Insya'allah... Ameen...
