Everything matters. Words. Matter. Energy. Perfection really is to be strived for. Universal laws. Brains. Cells. Environment. Moving forward. Letting go. Make (y)our own destiny(ies). Reality. Bytes. Strength. Love. Unity. Culture. Law. Perfection.
All praise and thanks be unto Allah, the best judge of all. Lord of the worlds. All thanks and praise belong to him. None coequal unto him. Allah Akbar (Allah is the greatest, period, no questions about it). Peace and may his mercy be on you and us in this world of greed and emerging climate and environmental disaster. Let us be strong and fear the chastisement of hopefully a not so grievous day.
Maybe I was wrong about my last blog post. May Allah forgive me. I make a lot of mistakes. - It is so hard to be perfect and to not ever lie. Peace Be Upon the prophets of God especially Jesus and Muhammed the two men ever able to live perfect lives. An example to us - mankind. I make too many mistakes and have so much non-perfect thinking. It is hard in a society and world such as ours. We see so many examples of greed and power seemingly corrupting minds and hearts of men that we can then make excuses for not striving hard ourselves and caring about ourselves, thinking, money is all bad or that we are not worthy and not trusting ourselves sometimes it ends up just making us go in circular thoughts and over-thinking and questioning everything thus - "negative thinking ends in negative results".

I don't strive hard enough some days - am but a child as we all kind of are really - just more grown really and so have to take responsibility for ourselves (are wiser, or supposedly!). Thoughts, words, actions - everything matters. You matter. We matter.
-----------------------
I improved my site a lot the other day and I think it's about ready to go. Maybe it is still too negative though. I don't know yet If I'm quite satisfied with everything still. Questioning and thinking about such big things is...and how maybe, this is not what Allah wants and wills or to think it is foolish to think people would vote for somebody so meager and normal etc. and who gets mad at the world and the United States government and huge corporations and that maybe because of my stances on things, that I would probably just be assassinated and that would end up doing nothing good.
Hard to explain or remember that is, all my thoughts. Hard to let go - of the past and past habits, behaviors, negative thinking...Hard to remember all things at all times. Change is a process that is not easy nor should we expect it to be. Nor should we expect life to be easy:
Unsure if a UBI is the best option. Would help to be able to play with economics like via an Excel document (changing and updating fields causing changes and updates to other fields - so can play around with things). I don't know - is an acceptable answer but know where my heart and mind lie. Surely we do know what we do and if it is right or wrong - and everything is in degrees - not much really is black and white. Some things are - killing someone for example is wrong. There is right and wrong. Things do matter.
- Some will say, duh, of course, there is right and wrong and I/we don't need guidance and maybe you don't. I don't know all or claim to. Am not the judge and jury, but self-defense of our egos (arrogance and greed are humanity's two main downfalls I believe) is something we most definitely have to watch out for. Group thinking and wanting to be liked is natural as well. That doesn't mean we should lower our standards and morals etc. Two wrongs don't make a right. Good is good. Bad is bad. Words matter. Look up the synonyms of words (adjectives) for example such as "poor" "crappy", "substandard", "bad", "imperfect". Then the simple word such as "good" you get:
virtue righteousness virtuousness goodness morality ethicalness uprightness upstandingness integrity principle dignity rectitude rightness honesty truth truthfulness honor incorruptibility probity propriety worthiness worth merit irreproachableness blamelessness purity pureness lack of corruption justice justness fairness benefit advantage profit gain interest welfare well-being enjoyment satisfaction comfort ease convenience help aid
