人生就是这样过的吗?

Day 9844

A rich man once took his eight year old son for a visit to his distant cousins who lived on a farm. He said,” Son, I want you to see for yourself the difference in our lives and the lives of those who live in villages.” They stayed at the farm for a weekend. They watched the farmers plough the fields. They watched them milking the cows. The son enjoyed himself running after the hens and looking for their eggs. They ate the simple meals of soup and bread, sitting crossed-legged at the floor in the backyard.

On their way home, the father asked his son,” Son, did you see how the poor people live?”

“Yes,” said the boy with a wistful look in his eyes. “I realized Dad, how poor we are!” The father raised his eyebrows; surely he had heard wrong! The boy continued,” I realized that we have air conditioned rooms only; they have the air conditioned country side.

I realized that while we buy 6 bottles of milk, they have six cows to give milk to them.

I saw that while we only have a small patch of land behind our house, they have acres of it.

I saw that while we have to go to the rooftop to watch the stars, they can watch them all night and anywhere.

I saw that while we eat bread that comes from a packet with only a thin layer of butter, they eat fresh home baked bread with dollops of fresh butter on them.

I saw that while you jog on your tread mill, they can run anywhere on their land.

I saw that while we have to go to the clubhouse for a swim, they have a whole stream of their own.

I realize now father, how poor we are. Can we visit our rich cousins again sometime?”

Day 9842 - Part II

It was a usual meeting. The Prophet was in his place and his companions gathered around him to hear the words of wisdom and guidance.

Suddenly a poor man in rags appeared, saluted the assembly: "Salamun Alaikum" and finding a vacant place, comfortably sat down. The Prophet had taught them that all Muslims were brothers and in an assembly one should sit wherever one finds a place, regardless of any status.

Now, it so happened that this poor man sat next to a very rich man. The rich man felt disturbed and tried to collect the edges of his dress around himself, so that the poor man did not touch them.

The Prophet observed this and addressing the rich man he said: "Perhaps you were afraid that his poverty would affect you?"

"No, O Messenger of Allah," he said

"Then perhaps you were apprehensive about some of your wealth flying away to him?"

"No, O Messenger of Allah."

"Or you feared that your clothes would become dirty if he touched them?"

"No, O Messenger of Allah."

"Then why did you draw yourself and your clothes away from him?"

The rich man said: "I admit that was the most undesirable thing to do. It was an error and I confess. Now to make amends for it, I will give away half of my wealth to this Muslim brother so that I may be forgiven."

Just as he said this, the poor man rose and said: "O Prophet of Allah, I do not accept his offer."

People present were all taken by surprise. They thought the poor man was a fool. But he explained: "O Prophet of Allah, I refuse to accept his offer because I fear that I might then become arrogant and ill treat my Muslim brothers the way he did to me."

生日快乐

也许我永远都不会明白...
上帝送给我的宝，
却不让我拥抱.
给了我希望，
却让我的天空一片一片剥落.
真的好累，但是我还在努力.


你们能不能不要忘记？

Day 9823

有很多朋友问我，为什么要到处帮人，他们值得这么做吗?

我总是对他们说我能帮就帮，反正也没什么大碍的。

其实是因为我早已知道，当一个人需要帮忙时，却没有任何人理他的那种滋味。。。


我最恨的就是人家骗我。

我宁可你说出伤人的实话，也不想从你嘴里听到美丽的谎言。。。

Day 9817

美丽的一天就这样结束了
