I never tried Effexor, Kazmierczak.

But the devil inside me loves vanity
And a frozen bubble which no one can see

Only the weirdests enter the forest of obscure winters

.

Did you miss the land between two equinoxes?
Where living a thousand days equals living a thousand years

Ah, I don't need the one coming after the twilight of the idols
We can never be Hyberboreans

Tell Nietzche

I want to root in the one said yes to life
Even in the rare and exquisite treasures of Moorish life

The Opposing Forces

Psychologically speaking, every person has two forces at work within him or her. One is the “driving force”, which pushes him towards some actions, and the other is the “restraining force”, which holds him back from others.

Patience essentially harnesses the driving force to push us towards good things, and the restraining force to hold us back from actions that may be harmful to ourselves or others.

Some people have strong patience when it comes to doing what is good for them, but their patience is weak with regard to restraint from harmful actions, so we may find that a person has enough patience to perform acts of worship (Salah, Shaum, Hajj) but has no patience in controlling himself and refraining from following his whims and desires, and in this way he may commit haram deeds.

Conversely, some people may have strong patience in abstaining from forbidden deeds, but their patience in obeying commandments and performing ‘ibadah is too weak. Some people have no patience in either case!

And, needless to say, the best people are those who possess both types of patience.



[From the book Patience and Gratitude, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah]

It might as well be my fault

It could be that I haven't helped you enough

Could be that I haven't supported you enough

Could be that I haven't prayed for you enough

Who knows?


And these might be rainy days

But I hope they will pass without thin tempers


So, here

Let me present


Abstaining from chocolate mission started -

Day #1

“And (remember) Ayyūb, when he cried to his Lord, ‘Truly distress has seized me...’ ” (21:83)

What is it with tears
and why am I so attracted to them lately?



God,
I bear witness to my fatuity

I might question paragon of humanity
might not believe in an abyss of obscure universe stretching to eternity
might second Aristotle that pleasure is not a good in itself as by its nature is incomplete, and that genuine happiness lies in action that leads to virtue
might never have anything, hence nothing to lose

yet I might not wish the highest level of heavens -
should You not be pleased with me.


But Rabb,
for how vivid the scarlet glow of sunset could be,
however it's never due to shame that it turns crimson,

for a man shall against himself be an eye-witness,
however he may veil himself in excuses
-

please do not let us fight to lose.



And look, meadow.
Look with pristine eyes of head and heart

That in this tiny, bantam, fiddling, ephemeral microcosm
I have not lost faith in those fields of gold.

In what, in which you've been helping me to see

Them growing in solar beams.
Soaring towards gracious sun.

As if image of serenity is
planting letters in a garden full of yellow daisies

in seemingly forever spring.


(and then again -
doesn't forever last longer than this life,
and the life after lasts longer than forever?)


So here,
let me bear witness of my obstinacy

That neither you, neither me
are battling to fail

By His mercy.

That maybe even when my world comes to fall apart
I never want yours to

That I might not be a good enough protector

But this might be one of those days
when it comes to me in a spate of falling rain

That

I want Him to love you
more than I want Him to love me

Always a showman, Jobs unwound the string on a standard-sized manila office envelop and slid out the ultra-thin MacBook Air to coos and peals of laughter from fans at the conference. He took the wraps off the MacBook Air laptop and touted it as "the world's thinnest notebook." It's 0.76 inch thick at its thickest point and is just 0.16 inch thick at its thinnest point.....


"Ultra unlike anything else"??
What a twist :P

Anyway, Jobs missed one word there.
It should ("or should not?" - argue those marketers :P) have been:

"The world's thinnest notebook.... today".

The thinnest notebook ever recorded in history was 1998's Mitsubishi Pedion.
That was - seriously - 0.7244 inches thick.

(or should I say.... "thin"? :D)

the weirdest patience.

Gospodaru naš, podari nam u ženama našim i djeci našoj radost i učini da se čestiti na nas ugledaju...
