Have you ever thought…? Have you ever considered that many realities in this world pass before our eyes every day, but we do not even see them, we keep looking for the mistakes of others throughout our lives, but we never look at the contradictions in our own thinking, perhaps that is why man has made a lot of progress, but the journey of understanding ourselves is still incomplete.
Have you ever thought…?
A liquor seller never has to go door to door looking for customers, but a milk seller walks around the streets early in the morning making noise. Then we ask the milkman, why did he mix water in milk…? But we mix water in wine with our own hands and drink it.
Have you ever thought…?
We become attracted to those who talk sweetly, and those who tell the truth seem harsh to us, although salt is certainly bitter, but it never gets wormy, while sweets get wormy quickly.
Have you ever thought…?
We praise the beauty of the picture, praise the frame, talk about the colors, but forget that one small nail that silently carries the entire burden. Perhaps in our lives there are many people on whose support we stand, but the praise always belongs to someone else.
Have you ever thought…?
We remember our departed ones by lighting a candle, and celebrate someone’s birthday by extinguishing a candle, there is only one candle, but in one place its light becomes a symbol of sadness, and in another place its extinguishing is a ritual of joy.
Have you ever thought…?
A bracelet, which costs thousands, adorns the feet, while a small price tag is worn on the forehead. Perhaps the value of a person is not always determined by price, but by position.
Have you ever thought…?
The Quran and the Bible never quarreled with each other, the differences were created by humans, who often stood against each other before understanding the message of their respective books. Books came to connect people, but people also made them a means of division.
Have you ever thought…?
A tree never eats its own fruit, a river does not drink its own water, the sun does not save its light for itself, and a flower does not feel its own fragrance, every beautiful thing in nature has lived for others, but people are often busy living only for themselves.
Have you ever thought…?
We buy expensive watches, but we cannot buy time, we buy soft beds, but we do not sleep peacefully, we collect big books, but we do not learn a single lesson of wisdom, wealth increases, but the satisfaction of the heart is left behind.
Have you ever thought…?
We immediately find a charger when the battery of our mobile runs out, but when the love of relationships starts to fade, we do not bother to charge it. Maybe that is why today the signal in homes is full, but the connection between hearts is getting weaker.
Have you ever thought…?
We stand in front of the mirror every day to beautify our faces, but we don’t take the time to clean the dust of envy, arrogance and hatred that has settled on the mirror of our hearts.
Have you ever thought…?
We visit many shops before buying a pen, but we don’t think for a moment before speaking words. Although a pen with a broken tip can be replaced, a word that has come out of the mouth can never be returned.
Have you ever thought…?
We put a good lock on the door so that thieves cannot enter the house, but we always keep the door of our heart open to greed, pride and hatred.
Have you ever thought…?
When a plane flies, the wind is against it, not favorable. Perhaps that is why successful people are not afraid of opposition, they make it the support of their flight, while we lose heart at the slightest criticism.
Have you ever thought…?
We pay the labor of the one who cuts the tree, but often consider the one who plants the tree to be crazy. Although an axe can destroy the shadows of years in a few minutes, and a plant can provide shade to a stranger after years.
Have you ever thought…?
We show the world pictures of our happiness immediately, but we never capture the silent sacrifices of our parents in any picture. Although behind every success of ours, there are silent prayers of someone or the other.
Have you ever thought…?
We go to place flowers on the grave after death, but we are stingy in giving two flowers of love to the living. Perhaps we hear the silence of the dead, but not the silent suffering of the living.
Have you ever thought…?
We keep our memory sharp to remember the mistakes of others, but our memory often becomes weak in remembering the kindnesses of others.
Have you ever thought…?
We perform ablution for prayer so that the body becomes pure, but we rarely think about purifying the heart from hatred, envy and arrogance.
Have you ever thought…?
We are anxious to know the news of the world every day, but we do not take even a few moments to take notice of our conscience. We worry about the whole world, but we do not even realize it when the world inside us continues to crumble.
And perhaps… The greatest tragedy of man is that he reads the lives of others like a book, but does not read a single page of his own life carefully… He reached the moon, measured the bottom of the ocean, carved the vastness of the sky, created artificial intelligence, invented amazing machines… But he could not control the selfishness, hypocrisy, greed and ego hidden in the depths of his heart until today… This world is not full of contradictions, but of human contradictions…. We praise the truth, but lie…. We demand justice, but forget justice for our own interests…They want love, but don’t want to forgive… They ask for respect, but don’t care about the respect of others.
Wow, man…!!
How are you…?
When will you improve…?
Or maybe… The question is not when will you improve…?
The question is whether you also want to improve…?
