A moment for thoughts.


“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

… Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
… Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
… Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
… Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
… Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
… Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
… Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
… Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Theresa.


Above are the words from Mother Theresa, a known humanitarian. It shows that everything in life has a good side to it even though your surrounding is filled with negativity.


I also insert another quote by The Prophet Muhammad below.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: “Be kind, for whenever kindness becomes part of something, it beautifies it. Whenever it is taken from something, it leaves it tarnished.
Imam Bukhari’s Book of Muslim Manners.

Why is it so important to be kind and do good?
" I'll do good when I'm older. "
- Will you live that long? And don't you expect the young one's to do good to you?

" Why do good when people always treat you bad? "
- How long will you live in hatred? Isn't it so tiring?

"If I do good, people will step on me instead. "
- If you're on the right side, why should you be worried about them when God is with you.


The societies are crumbling and people don't even care about others. Snatched thieves, murders, burglary, pedophiles. I think you can name more that what I just say. I believe that bad people have a sound mind and a heart. So here's a question for you. If your family or dear one's were hurt by other people's bad intention, won't you be mad and hope it never happen. So how could you do that to others?

Think about the hearts that you torn apart. The life of a parent or sons and daughters that you took from their family. Life is never easy. But it is not a permit to take others for granted. Inside, we are all humans. And we all hope for is for people to care about us as much as they care about themselves.

Touch people hearts. Who knows. Your good example will lead others towards the way that God leads us.

Wassalam.
