In conversation with a friend recently, I realised in the small glib statement quickly proffered but seldom thought thru. People can lay bare your whole existence, your core without rhyme or reason. You see I have undergone a profound change in the manner by which I live my life. I had looked within and found my life lacked depth. However, unlike many who travel these same roads,... I made the adjustments I felt would make me a better person. Self awareness if you will.
Normally, it wouldn't matter to me too much what people thought as the only person that matters in my life is Allah.
However, I was affected by the thoughts of this individual as I thought they would know better. As they had seen me fall and seen me rise. For a moment I was thrown. Now with my balance and equilibrium restored. I can see clearly now and I understand that sometimes its the people closest to us that judge us the harshest, but always they say from the intention of love.
I also learned in a contradictory manner from the same person that all that matters in life is how you see yourself. To be happy, being the most important thing in life.
Lesson learned.
Remember: rh2O is a nutritious source of life. Live life without doubt, refuse to pander to the common theory, mad you may be thought. But sanity is a perception paper thin.
