Day 13
I complain about the weather all the time and about how cold it is! Why do I do this I ask myself. I forget that in poorer countries like Bangladesh, people are losing their lives at this temperature.It really does put things in perspective. I complain, but then I realize how silly this complaint is. I guess we can apply this principle in most things in life. In Islam we are always encouraged to think about those who are worse off then us. However, we should still set our sight to the highest level of achievement, without compromising our religion of course. Anyway, back to my weather rant, I am grateful that I have the choice to put the heating on should the weather get cold outside! Also to put on the extra layer of clothing to keep warm. Also grateful that there is running hot water coming from the taps in my home. How many people around the world are there that would give up their right arm for all of this? Next time you complain, step back and think! We are only here in this world for a short period of time, lets not be negative. Lets instead have sabr (patience) and be positive in the face of every difficulty and challenge.
