As a “teacher” (or a person in general): ask questions that makes “students” more aware of what they think, do & say and how they respond to others thoughts, actions & words by encouraging them to communicate/comprehend their own schema with one another (rather than present to them any one schema as “right” or “wrong” and/or “good” or “bad”).

Decision: How Will I Respond to the World?

Tags: understanding, limitation, fulfillment, knowledge, response, power, control, enjoy, requirements, expectations, circumstances, potential, world, people, expansion, decision, environment, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, structuring, function, ability, made for myself
I musn’t have the expectation to control or over-power the environment, circumstances or people around me. I must require control of and power over myself; physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc. There may be more and more accurate structuring of these, but to know and understand their function, potential, limitation, and the like, will expand my ability to fulfill and enjoy this requirement.

في الأماكن الغريبة، نبحث عن الأشياء التي في أوطاننا لم نجدها
ولكن، إذا نكف عن التفكير في الأشياء في الأماكن الغريبة
سنرى، الأشياء التي كانت ضائعة، إن شاء الله، في أوطاننا
وبعد ذلك، سنقرر أن نرجع، إن شاء الله، إلى أوطاننا
فلا نترك، الأماكن و الأشخاص الذين يعرفوننا دائما دائما
Beware! Statistics say you will fail!

How do we respond to such cold comments?
“You two are in the ’sparkles’ stage–so happy and content, in six months, it will die.”
What do they mean by saying it? They recognize that we are happy and content, but then do they assume we always have been? And that we believe we always will be?
Honestly, their statistics and irrelevant doubt enrage me. I spout out streams of sarcastic wit, judging the conditions of their own relationships as apparently poor and “dead” in themselves.
Nevertheless, we cannot say indefinitely and we cannot judge at all. So, we’ll smile in their general direction and file away these “facts.” We’ll live in today and prepare for tomorrow and seek for the truth, in where we are at.

My Lord and I

You cannot tear my away from my Lord, nor can you come between us; and I will hate the spirit which attempts to do so, because I love my Lord and with perfect consistency he loves me! He is always my truth and shows himself to me. Wherever I am, he is always with me; to guide my foot, my hand, my mouth, and bring true life–which rests in peace–to every place that I walk, every person that I touch and every word that I speak according to his perfect wisdom. Do not interfere with the one to whom I confess my love; because you will not feel my hatred in return, but rather my Lord’s, who creates and sustains life in all things.
