if u have a good principle, and u know that it's good, act in accordance with that principle.
regardless of what others normally do.
let's say ur principle is "help people when they really need it".
and so see a person u know, who really needs help.
but u also know that the person hates u, and he loves dissing u behind ur back.
this is a common dilemma. there's a competition between principle and anger.
by common sense (how normal people would act) u shouldn't be helping.
but if it's a good principle why not?
we shouldnt let other people drive us up the wall.
we shouldn't let others dictate how we intend to execute a particular principle.
coz there's always a saboteur, always.
no matter how hard u try to do things right, there are always people out there who'd try to deter u.
so, the hell with them.
just do the right thing.
3:133 Dan bersegeralah kamu kepada ampunan dari Tuhanmu dan kepada syurga yang luasnya seluas langit dan bumi yang disediakan untuk orang-orang yang bertakwa,
3:134 (yaitu) orang-orang yang menafkahkan (hartanya), baik di waktu lapang maupun sempit, dan orang-orang yang menahan amarahnya dan memaafkan (kesalahan) orang. Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat kebajikan.
sometimes, i feel like killing people who bad-mouthing me behind my back, and when they need help i was like, "should i help 'em when i really damn hate 'em???", but when we choose to not help 'em, at the end of the day, we will feel bad aboy ourself
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's kinda true zubect. if turning away from helping those that we hate is the right thing to do, then why do we feel bad about it?
Deleteit's hard. no doubt about that, but i guess that's what lillahitaala is all bout.
