Life is hard. The only place to soothe the roughness is home. Home is where you find your smile and where you are understood. Welcome! @Burningwords The writer. 👆
What shocked me about the incident, is that some of the normal-looking Muslims I know are stating that the Christian deserves death.
Their reason: he offended the Prophet (and by extension Allah, I guess).
If a Muslim with influence gets on a platform and talks shit about Jesus, haven't you been alive long enough to understand how that backfires?
Urging to see a Christian's blood spilt, just because his beliefs offend yours, is a recipe for destruction.
The Christians did not ask for the killing of the Islamic figure who blasphemed against the Son of God. The Christians, and this is to my knowledge, are urging other christians to band together in order to free the one in captivity.
And this is not good.
If these dominoes continue falling, the likely outcome is chaos and war.
Nothing good comes out of such blind rage.

This is not to sound like I'm a saint, or to say that my children will be saints. That's an impossible. I definitely do and say things that I certainly should not be doing and saying, only to regret it moments later.
But having a lens through which I view life has given me a newfound sense of control.
When you know what's most important for you, you see time as the tool to achieve that which is most important. Other whims, dreams, and wishes become irrelevant.
The most powerful god that works against us when it comes to achieving our potential is the god of dreams.
It's that deity that makes our dreams infinite.
But reality hits, and there's no time for all those dreams. There's time only for select few.

I can't pick every girl, I can't pick every attractive skill, I can't go for every fun thing, but I can try one or two.
Understanding the finite nature of time made me quickly understand that my whims and wishes and dreams are not that important.
For me, what's most important is becoming the kind of man that I would want my daughter to marry, and the kind of man that I would love my son to become.
That is what's most important for me. Nothing else is more important.
And when I figured that statement above, it became a lens through which I evaluate my time, through which I choose what to do and what not to do.
Do I want a man who fucks every hole he sees to marry my daughter? No.
Then I won't too.
Is my son going to be a porn addict who has no sense of responsibility on his shoulders? Who doesn't make real sacrifices for his parents, and wife, and children? No.
Then I know what to do.

I began understanding the finite nature of time, instead of fearing it. The difference?
Fearing
When I'm in fear, I don't think clearly. I lose the energy to break free of the loop I'm in. The hours pile up, and all I've done is all that came my way.
Understanding
Time is indeed limited. And seeing it like that, without freaking out about it, makes me understand that time being limited means that I too am limited. I can't do or be everything I wanna be in this one lifetime. It's not enough to do or be everything, BUT it's enough to be something.
Understanding the finite nature of time makes me think of all the things I wanna become, or things I wanna do in life, and it forces me to choose.
Time is limited. Maybe I have thirty years left to live, maybe thirty days. Being in control of my time doesn't mean using it all for fun: I don't wanna have fun all the time anyways.
I wanna build and create and learn and make great connections. Lots of people have their own theories, methods, approaches to life, and when I understand this finite resource I have, my approach to life reveals itself. I have to be selective.

Good Lord. 😪
I'll never understand Americans beef with the metric system.
When I was a kid, I couldn't wait til I grew up. Til I became a grown-up who everybody respected, somebody with freedom. A naive wish.
I grew up, then time became my enemy. Of course time doesn't care about me, or anybody else for that matter. Time doesn't mean me any harm: time just is, and it's moving forward.
And there's this feeling in me that makes me think that it's too late.
Too late to begin that business, or too late to start learning that skill, or too late to get that job, or too late to fix that relationship. Generally too late to alter the direction of my life.
I don't feel in control of time, because my time is being stolen by various activities. I'm stuck in a loop, which seems to have a very strong grip on my hours and days.
But I know it shouldn't be this way. My waking hours cannot be mindless flow from task to task to another task. I'm becoming painfully aware that if I don't change something fundamental, time, with its blitz speed, will push me in my seventies, or pull me in six feet under.
Death is any day.
I fear the finite nature of time, how small time really is, but recently something changed.

There are retards who believe that somebody with a business degree (or masters) knows more about business than somebody who has a successful business.

How does a man celebrate March 8, international women's day?
Would celebrating the woman I love on the bed work?
I can't say she'd be opposed to that kinda celebration.
Pretty good deal for her (and for me too).
Those of you who constantly eavesdrop on my channel, but never join.
I just wanna say that you're fooling nobody. No point in hiding. 🤷♂

What's the secret to your amazing longevity?
When a lady loves me, but thinks—for some reason—that she can't be with me, she usually disrespects me in an earth shattering manner.
Why?
She wants to trigger me, make me upset with her so bad that I'll fire back and hurt her badly. That way, she can look back and think, "Thank God I left that dickhead."
Your level of genjutsu is too weak, bitch.
Good morning!
Don't fear eyes judging you in public.
They're probably the same insecure cunts that you are.
If we're gonna be close, one thing I take a good look at is how you treat people you're exposed to daily.
That says a lot about your character.
You're treating me good now, only because I'm a stranger. The way you treat your closed ones, that's the fate that awaits me once I'm no longer a stranger.
Christians dying at the hands of Muslim extremists
Besides the killings worldwide, recently a Christian has been imprisoned for speaking wrongly about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). And this Christian did not insult the Prophet:
In fact, a respectable Islamic figure was talking down on Jesus, saying that Jesus kissed a little boy on his lips.
And the Christian was responding to that, saying what kind of a man the Prophet was.
Suddenly, some of these Muslims band together to get this Christian killed (he's currently held captive).
Allah, as per the Quran, does NOT seek to exterminate people who criticize the Prophet.
There's no instruction in the Quran that makes some of these Muslims hunt Christians down.
In the infamous Sword Verse (Quran 9:5), Allah urges Muslims to slay the pagans. Not because they're pagans, but because they BROKE agreements with the Islamic tribes. In the same verse, however, Allah commands Muslims to show mercy to those who repent.
This verse is very much grounded in the proper context, and yet extremists take it out of context, and justify why they're slaughtering innocents.
Majority of Muslims are not like that, and yet these small minority make big noise, and it seems as if this is what Islam is all about.

The good old days.
It's Sunday.
Get some sunlight, reset, and breathe.
When engaging in conversations, it's always best to assume that the other person knows something that I don't.
If I don't assume that, I'm just going in for clash of words, not for learning.
I must be willing to change, specially if it's an issue I'm not an expert on.
If you're not interested in what I have to say, I'm not interested in what you have to say.
It's as simple as that.
Your happiness does depend on how happy you make others.

When in doubt, go for a walk. Ten minutes can make a huge difference.
Breathe the air outside, and something will change for sure.
What's the difference between thinking about yourself—the future and the past, worries and regrets—and being depressed?
Nothing.

Like, I don't know, like, I feel jaded, like, maybe it's my fault, like who cares.
Why are you abusing the word "like"!? 😭
Only use it when needed.
It doesn't make you sound cool. It makes you seem as if you're not in control of your tongue.
And it's irritating too. 🤯
For some reason, I specially find it more angering when guys do it.
Like stop.
Tribal: Fix
What helps me dissociate from this tribal trap is remembering that everybody makes mistakes. And me not liking some people does not mean they don't have any important skill or viewpoint at all. I'm an individual before I'm a tribe. I don't have to like the person to agree with him, and I like the person doesn't mean I can't disagree with him.
Prideful: Fix
For this one, what I do is training to say "I don't know" in many situations, because that's usually the truth. I'm not an expert in everything. I'm prone to be led to believe in the wrong things. My source of information is not always reliable, because the source is always another human, like me.
And being okay with being pointed at, and being told "I told you so". Let that person tell me that. It's better to look like a fool for five minutes than to be a fool forever.
But I do wanna make sure that I don't tell people "I told you so" or point at them when they admit they're wrong. I had that problem of gloating on people their humble moment. I'll be silent and let them be, because when something you believe to be true turns out to be false in public, it's always hurtful. Why become somebody they'll resent for gloating, when I can be somebody they'll appreciate for backing off?
